My Newborn Cloth Diapers came in today!


 

 They're here!!!


My newborn cloth diapers came in today and I cannot wait to see how they work for baby C. I was originally going to just buy the "one size fits all" type but I read that they are generally too big for most newborns, and although I will probably put the baby in Pampers Swaddlers for the first few days (I have a whole box anyway) I would like to use these until baby C is big enough for the standard ones.
When I opened the box it came with some very helpful tips and instructions, including that this company advises washing them before putting them on baby-but only washing two or three before trying them out. That way, if they don't fit the baby or there is a problem, I can send the rest back if I need to. I don't anticipate that happening but I think it's smart, so today I will be washing three little cloth diapers to have them ready for the baby.
One of my cloth diapering mommies shared with me that I don't need to use the "bumgenius" cloth diaper laundry detergent, or any specific "cloth diapering" detergent. The information that came with my diapers advises using "additive-free detergents. No perfumes, dyes, whiteners, brighteners, softeners, enzymes, or other fabric enhancers" since I already use an all natural, fragrance and dye free detergent for my regular laundry anyway, I will go ahead and use that.
Now all I need to fully get an idea of how well cloth diapers work for me is the baby :)

  1. Way to go. I am also going to try some cloth diapers (bum genius). I have two cousins that use only cloth diapers and love it. Good luck
