Do You Use Cloth Diapers??
Diaper Swappers
I am just totally addicted to this forum ~~ Diaper Swappers!! You can share tips and more on it. They have an awesome bunch of women on there to share info with. I love the for sale or trade forums and have gotten a lot of my sons diapers on there. The neon green PUL I used to make my last fitted diaper for my son , I got on Diaper Swappers. It is just a fun place that anyone who loves cloth diapers will truly enjoy.
I Made Another Fitted Cloth Diaper!!
Well, I am on a roll!! I made this one out of a neon green PUL and a inner layer of the softest flannel. I think this is so cute. It has elastic in the legs and I left it to be a pocket. I am getting a lot better at my sewing.
Please , excuse the pictures. They do not do the diaper justice. It has been so gloomy here and my flash decided not to work.
My First Cloth Diaper
I made this the other night out of a cute duck print receiving blanket , an old shirt of mine, a towel, and some fleece for the soaker layer. Last night I made another one out of the duck print that I used another, light yellow receiving blanket as the inner layer!! Receiving blankets are awesome!! My son loves it. It is so soft and cuddly!

How many cloth diapers do I need?
The recommended amounts of diapers are based on washing every 2-3 days. You can purchase less and wash more often.
Prefolds or Flats and Covers
* 2-3 dozen prefolds
* 6 diaper covers
* 12 liners (optional, but saves diapers from staining and will help keep baby feeling dry)
* 12 cloth wipes (optional, but so easy to use and throw in the wash with the diapers)
* 12 doublers (depending on what AIOs you use and the needs of your baby)
All-in-Ones
* 2 dozen diapers if you use AIOs exclusively. If you want a few on hand for outings or other times when they would be convenient, then 3-4 would be fine.
* 12 liners (optional, but saves diapers from staining and if the diapers do not have fleece lining, these will help keep baby feeling dry)
* 12 cloth wipes (optional, but so easy to use and throw in the wash with the diapers)
* 12 doublers (depending on what AIOs you use and the needs of your baby)
Pocket Diapers and Inserts
* 2 dozen diapers if you plan on using pocket diapers exclusively. If you want a few on hand for outings or other times when they would be convenient, then 3-4 would be fine.
* At least as many inserts as you have pocket diapers. Some inserts are more trim and you may need 2 for daytime and even more for nighttime use.
* 12 cloth wipes (optional, but so easy to use and throw in the wash with the diapers)
Fitted Diapers & Covers
* 2-3 dozen diapers
* 6 covers
* 12 liners (optional, but saves diapers from staining and if the diapers do not have fleece lining, these will help keep baby feeling dry)
* 12 cloth wipes (optional, but so easy to use and throw in the wash with the diapers)
* 12 doublers (depending on what AIOs you use and the needs of your baby)
Cloth Diaper Folding
I found this by accident when I was surfing around online this morning and thought that I would share it. I got it from Diaper-Eez. It is an actual brochure thing that you can print out for future reference. It has some really neat ways to fold a flat cloth diaper.
A Great Place To Sell Your Cloth Diapers!
I found this site called Mommy Auctions a while back and shared it on here. You can list for free, join for free, and only have a small final value fee.
You will love this site as an alternative to ebay. Which I had to quit a while back because the fees were just out of the world. You can even open a free online store at Mommy Auctions
This would be a great place to sell your WAHM cloth diapers that you have made!
