wrap me up!

While pregnant we committed to using cloth diapers after the first week of life. Initially we planned on using g-diapers but the covers, liners and cloth inserts proved too much to handle-- well easily anyways.

So after 4 weeks of g-diapers we are trialing the Grovia AIO, Bumgenius Elemental AIO and Bumgenius 4.0 (pocket diaper). The AIO is wonderful- it has the environmental benefits of cloth with the ease of disposables!
The process is very easy.
Step 1. Put diaper on baby
Step 2. They soil it!!
Step 3. Take diaper off and throw in dry pail
Step 4. Put new diaper on baby!










As far as cleaning the diapers it is very easy. Because Brooks is 100% breastfed there isn't any special washing or scraping of poo needed. I simply empty the diapers into the washer. Do a pre-wash with cold, a regular wash with hot water and then an extra rinse with cold. Because it is Summer and I'd rather not use the electricity we hang the diapers outside to dry-- with the extra benefit that the sun naturally bleaches the stains out!
