Cloth Diapers must haves?
Hey ladies, so we are almost in the third trimester here with our second daughter. In looking at the cost of disposables and also wanting to go more green, we have decided on cloth. I have a friend that told me about some sites and things like Diaper Duck Sprayers, holders and so forth. Any must haves, or personal experiences? Is it better to do it yourself cost wise or have a diaper service? Which diapers have been the best as far as comfort, ease and no-leak? I've heard all these terms like, prefold, all in one and am really lost lol. Help please.
My must-haves are kind of simple:
1) Tea tree oil--PERFECT for getting the stink out of diapers in the wash! It only takes a few drops per load, and I put it in the hot wash after doing a preliminary cold rinse.
2) Detergent that won't leave a buildup on your diapers. Some of my friends use Dr. Bronner's, or one of the others you can buy at Whole Foods/Earth Fare. We make our own from soap shavings, washing powder and borax. It works great and saves even more money. You can find recipes for it online.
3) A good pail, preferably one you can open with a foot pedal. We keep a dry pail. It's small, cost about $10 (much cheaper than the Diaper Genie!) and we wash every couple of days.
As for my favorite diapers, I love bumgenius. I only use the one-size pocket diapers, though. The all-in-ones were too thick for me. They take forever to dry and get stinky buildup. (All-in-ones of other brands are fine, but I don't like the bumgenius ones.) Unfortunately, the bumgenius diapers are usually a bit large on newborns. For that I am planning to use Bummis covers with prefolds. There is also this thing called a Snappi that you use to fasten a prefold on. People used to use diaper pins, and the Snappi has replaced those. It's safer and easier.
Basically, if you want something cheap, go with prefolds and covers. If you want something easy, go with the bumgenius pockets or all-in-ones of a different brand (like Bumkins). As for wipes, there are fancy ones out there you can buy, but we don't have any. We got a bunch of washcloths from people as gifts and use those. Even if you have to buy some they are dirt cheap! You can use cut up t-shirts, but they aren't quite as nice and don't save that much money over the washcloths. Also, we use plain water to wipe with but some people prefer a spray-on solution. You can make these at home and there are several different recipes.
It is complicated, but once you figure out which diaper to go with you'll be all set. I'd recommend visiting a shop in your area where you can feel all the diapers before buying. That'll help you decide. You may also want to just get a couple of each type and see how they work for you before committing to a full stash.
Good luck!
What To Put In A Baby Shower Gift Basket
You will be surprised how much pleasure you give to a person on the receiving end of a personalized baby gift as well as claiming a sense of satisfaction knowing you donated well. To personalize an item is a fabulous way to leave your mark where your gift is lovingly treasured for years to come.
Very popular items given at baby showers are baby beakers, guilt edged photo frames, baby trinkets and silverware also woolly fleeced baby blankets embroidered with the name of baby or their initials. Names and their meaning stitched neatly in coloured cottons onto an item of clothing make an excellent personalized gift for both mother and baby.
Baby Gift baskets definitely take lead in holding top position as the most given gift at a baby shower. Below you will find a few ideas to help you organise your perfect gift basket donation.
Wicker holders can be bought in florists or craft shops and come in different shapes and sizes or better still ready made
First you must take into account the size of the basket that is to be used. Warning - the bigger the basket the more to fill thus incurring more costs so consider a medium size gift basket. . To pad or line your basket use shredded tissue paper or scrunched raffia. This can be layered around the sides and at the bottom along with items that you have for the baby.
If you are adamant on having a large basket then fill it the same way only this time stuff and cram in more padding. You need not struggle to fill the basket if you add bigger items like a baby pillow or cushion - one of each if need be.
Knowing the gender of the baby will make your task a slight easier in helping you decide on what is to goe into your gift basket. Ask the pregnant mum for a baby registry list if she has one, this will also help with your content picking. Let your imagination run wild when making selections. Fillers like cloth nappies, disposable diapers, teething rings, and baby feeding bottles are gifts that are welcomed with open arms as they are all useful for mom when raising the baby.
It is to your advantage knowing the gender of the new baby on the way because you now know what colour to work with when personalizing your gift basket. A theme like the forever favourite bedtime topic is very popular - maybe this is because baby sleeps most of the time since birth. Fairy tale books, musical CDs, soft to touch blankets, puffy cushions, music mobiles and cuddly toys are common choices as fillers for this theme.
If you are of a creative nature then make your gift with a difference by filling a baby bath tub, a mummy holdall bag or even a small laundry basket. Baby wash tubs can contain bathing accessories e.g talcum powder, soaps, towels, baby shampoo, and not forgetting the rubber duck.
If you are filling a trunk in place of a Baby Gift Basket then include baby keepsakes. If the laundry basket is your choice of container then pack it with slippers, baby wipes, brush and comb set and baby clothes.
What to put into your Baby Gift basket could prove to be a problem because of the endless options. You can always call in an expert for help and guidance.
If you want to be remembered for a long time to come and filling the basket is proving to be an ordeal then pad the Baby Gift Basket with BANK notes then you will never be forgotten.
