Hellobee Boards

-What diapers do you love? - We only have BG Freetimes and a few Kawaii Good Nights. The Kawaii ones are really bulky, but he was a heavy wetter overnight for a while and was consistently leaking out of the Freetimes. Otherwise, we love our Freetimes.

- How many do you have in your stash? - We started out with 24, which was perfect. I've since added 4 Kawaiis and another Freetime because I wanted the limited edition print.

- How often do you wash diapers? - When D was wearing them all day every day, I was washing every 2-3 days. Now that he's only wearing them overnight and on weekends (we moved and our new daycare doesn't do cloth), I can get away with once a week.

- What size is your LO? - He's 27m, but the Freetimes are one-size, so good from 8lb and up (though at the class we took the instructer said they tend to leak until about 12lb, so we waited till he was 12lb to start using them)

- Any other cloth related things I should know? - Get BioKleen! Every time you take off a diaper, spray a few shots of BioKleen spray. We've been cd'ing for 2 years and there is minimal staining. Plus, it helps with the stink. And don't bother with the diaper sprayer - use rice paper liners so you can just lift out the poop and drop it in the toilet.

@littlebug: When you say biokleen what exactly are you referring to? They make a lot of products.

@littlebug: Thanks! Adding it to our list.

-What diapers do you love? Bum Genius 4.0! We had Charlie Bananas, too, but they did not hold up.
- How many do you have in your stash? 26
- How often do you wash diapers? Washed every two days. LO is 23 mos and not in cloth often anymore because daycare only accepts disposables.
- What size is your LO? She always wore one size from 9 lbs on.
- Any other cloth related things I should know?
Wash routine is important! At wash routine I do rinse + cold wash with detergent + hot wash and no detergent. Avoids soap build up! I also agree that Biokleen spray is great. Also--when they do stain, drying them in the sun works miracles!

LO is six weeks old and we have 21 Freetimes. We do laundry every day and it's not enough. Fortunately she still fits the newborn size diapers (Kissa fitteds and some cloth eez fitteds with covers) or we'd run out before the clean Freetimes were dry. Hoping her output decreases soon. We like the Freetimes a lot so far.

Also a free time fan! I buy them at cotton babies. I also like the blueberry diapers when I can snag them on sale. E is a 2T, 25 months old, 25 pounds and some change....we add thirsties hemp liners at night-she gets two now. We have probably 45-50 diapers for two kids, but T isn't in them yet. Disposables during the day and we do laundry once a week maybe? We have a bigger stash because it wasn't happening often enough.

-What diapers do you love? My mom and DH love the Bumgenius 4.0. I love Grovia Hybrids myself.
- How many do you have in your stash? A lot. Like....a lot a lot.
- How often do you wash diapers? 1-2 times a week.
- What size is your LO? He's in 3T (at 2 years old).
- Any other cloth related things I should know? We use re-usable liners (that I made from microfleece) that have saved us! My DS is super sensitive to moisture, and somehow these have solved all our rash problems.
