re: Cloth Diapers Rock, Bitches! Vol. 4

Quoting Rachie.luv♡:" I don't need the baby oil?? Isnt that what help get the poop off. lol I just filled both little bottles up. I'll have to wash them out! thanks!"

some form of oil needs to be a carrier oil for the tea tree oil. baby oil can do it, so can coconut oil

Quoting L☣J:" I'm resorting to bleach to try to get rid of the stink in our diapers. We've tried EVERYTHING else. I should use a 1/4 of a cup, correct? Should I do shells and inserts separately, or all together?"

if I have a persistant stink or other issue, I do everything without PUL with bleach on a sanitize cycle

Quoting L☣J:" I'm really allergic to the smell of bleach so I can't have them soaking out in the open like that. I ... [snip!] ... if just washing the inserts with bleach and rinsing a bunch then maybe a teeny bit of bleach in the pockets will suffice."

I wouldn't soak in bleach, but washing in it should be just fine. I'm sensitive to the smell, too, girl, I just rinse the smurf out of them after washing in bleach

Quoting Sabrina~SquishyButts:" I use plain water"

So do I.
I used a solution for a few weeks, but whatever I made in the morning was stinking by that evening. Said F it, lol.

Do you guys like the Rumparooz newborn covers? That's the same company that makes Lil Joeys, right? Only difference is one is an AI1, and the other is a cover. Same great fit, right? I bought a brand new one offline, ten dollars including shipping which is right in our price range. I was thinking of getting a few more so we didn't have to use disposables until baby could fit OS diapers...

Also, seeing as we're CDing this baby, why should we continue to use disposables for Aurora? As soon as we buy some detergent, I think we're going to try some of these one size cloth diapers on her. Since PTing didn't go so well our first try, should we put her in only trainers if we won't be focusing on that right away?

Yay. Finally ordered some wool. 5 disanas for under $60! Weee.

MIL gave me a massive amount of fabric yesterday..score!!!

So I need to make some fleece covers, I'll be using the Katrina pattern.
Would size should I use for babies that are 4 months and in 3-6 month clothes? Small? Or medium? If I do mediums and they're a little big would they still be usable?

*I don't want to ask her how much the twins weigh because I don't want her to know I'm making more than the OS fitteds she already knows about.*

I'd do medium. Maybe add some elastic or a drawstring?

Quoting Jerri _:" Yay. Finally ordered some wool. 5 disanas for under $60! Weee."

That's an awesome deal!!

Quoting Mother of Broccoli.:" I'd do medium. Maybe add some elastic or a drawstring?"

Ooo drawstring is a good idea!

<blockquote><b>Quoting Mother of Broccoli.:</b>" That's an awesome deal!!"</blockquote>

Yes! they are much cheaper here since its a German company. I'm excited.

I really need some cheap or used Flip training pants inserts  

So, I'm setting up a starter stash for somebody, and I have like, $20 left to spend.
I was browsing ebay and found Sunbabys for $5.99...I was like hell yeah!!
I'm not a fan of sb, but lots of others are so it was exciting.
Then I realized 5.99 was the price for just 2 mf inserts.....one sunbaby was friggen 11.99$. oi

Try Alvababy. Mine lasted about 11 months.

Quoting Squid Kid:" Try Alvababy. Mine lasted about 11 months."

I was thinking about Alva's. I love ours, but the girls are only 4 months, and they're not chunkers so I think they might be a little big for em yet.
