When it comes to cloth diapering, some moms like to pretend it’s all fluffy bums and saving the planet. Not Chantal Shelstad, a self-proclaimed “crunchy” stay-at-home mom who lives in Alabama with her daughter, Penny and her husband, a pilot in the Army. Chantal is more than happy to own up to the fact that cloth diapering parents have to face plenty of difficulties, transitions, stigmas (and yes, plenty of poop!) …but it is still worth it in the end.
When Chantal isn’t caring for her baby, she’s writing one of her numerous blogs, working on her fiction, and enjoying what she describes her “crunchy mom” practices, including babywearing, eating a Paleo diet and keeping her post-baby body fit and healthy.

When Sarah Scales tells people that she has four children in cloth diapers, the responses are either: “that’s awesome” or “you’re nuts!” or nothing in between. What most people don’t know, she says, is that most people don’t know just how easy cloth diapering can be. Yes, even when you’re cloth diapering four children at once.
Sarah is a stay at home mom with five children, a first grader and — are you ready for this? – two sets of twins still in diapers. A native of Iowa she is a recent transplant to Florida where she’s very involved with her local multiples club. She loves playing with the kids, nights out with her husband, warm weather and of course…FuzziBunz cloth diapers.
Look out for Sarah’s column about why cloth diapering twin bottoms is twice as fun!

This is my last post for Cloth Diapering Unwrapped and it’s making me a little sad. It’s been several weeks since my daughter first showed interest in the potty and has been about two weeks that she has been using the potty consistently. These days she in underwear most of the day, with very few accidents, and cloth diapers are quickly becoming a memory in our house.
And I was fully unprepared.
Yes, I know there was probably a day (or five) several months ago that I was elbow-deep in poopy toilet water, swirling a dirty diaper around and wishing desperately for this day to arrive. But now that it’s here, I’m feeling nostalgic for the warm fluffy diapers coming out of the dryer and the unmistakable look of her cloth-diapered bum crawling around the family room.
In her room, right next to the new basket of pristine Minnie Mouse underwear, her cloth diapers are still neatly stuffed and put away in the changing table, just as they’ve always been. I just can’t put them away just yet. Because to me, they represent the journey we have been on over the past two years.
When I think back to all the stages we went through with cloth diapers – the research, the conversations, the arrival of my first “fluffy mail” shipment, the trial and error of the first several weeks of newborn diapering, the battle with stink, the huge stockpot boiling the inserts, the bright colors and white-white inserts flapping in the breeze in the backyard, the dunking and swirling – it gives me a great sense of pride that we’ve been able to stick with it and do something great for our child and our planet.
With our commitment to cloth diapers, I figure that our family alone has saved roughly 3,500 diapers from entering landfills and has saved ourselves almost $800 in just over twenty-one months.
And that is something to celebrate.
So while I’m sad to see my cloth diapers retired from regular use (and sad to put an end to this column!), I’m excited by our “stats”… and at the prospect of what I can use the diapers for next. Once I have the heart to remove them from the changing table, that is.
I am so grateful to the online cloth diapering community for all of the information and wisdom I’ve learned from all of you. And I wish all of you the best of luck on your cloth diapering journeys whether you’re just beginning or moving on to the next chapter like me. Thank you for reading!

You’ve conquered morning sickness. You take your prenatal vitamins like clockwork. You visit the doctor monthly. You’re pregnant – Hooray!
I remember it well. Around the middle of the second trimester, just as your belly is popping and you are becoming obviously pregnant, you start getting questions from well-meaning parents, friends and extended family: “When can we have a shower? What do you need for the baby? Have you registered anywhere?”
Oh yes. The baby registry. People lavishing expensive gifts, toys and clothes on me, my husband and our little peanut. I have to admit, at the time, the whole concept made me more than a little uncomfortable. But I soon realized that babies turn otherwise reasonable people into mushy gobs of sentimental generosity. Babies are expensive and people want to show their love for the new parents by doing anything they can to give the baby a cozy homecoming complete with the latest doodads and freshest technology.
And they want to give you what you want, so a registry is a smart idea: 1) it gives gift-givers peace of mind that they are giving you something you’ll use, and 2) it really does lessen a little of the financial burden on the new parents trying to provide a safe, comfortable environment for their new bundle of joy.
If you think cloth diapering is right for you and your family, it’s smart to add some of the cloth diapering essentials to your registry. If I had to “do it over again,” here’s what I consider as I filled out my registry:
- Stick to essentials. While you may want to wait on purchasing the actual diapers because you don’t know the size and shape of your babe, there are certain cloth diapering essentials you know you will need, so those are the most important things for the registry. Things like wet bags (in several sizes), a dozen or more good quality prefolds (great for anything from stuffing pocket diapers to catching spit up), cloth diaper detergent, wool dryer balls, drying rack, diaper sprayer, basket for storage, snappi for fastening prefolds, cloth wipes, cloth-friendly creams and diaper area wash, etc.
- Visit a local cloth diapering store. Do a little research at a cloth diapering retailer in your area. Many times, the staff in these little boutiques are very knowledgeable and it helps just to touch and feel the diapers to get a sense for what might work for you. Most of these shops offer a registry if that works for you, otherwise many online retailers also offer registry programs (and it may work better for family and friends that are spread across the country as ours were).
- Include gift cards on your registry. Because you’re not sure what will work for your baby until he’s here, having those gift cards set aside specifically for cloth diapers will make sure you have the funds to buy them. If you don’t have a brick and mortar cloth diaper store near you, most online cloth diaper retailers have gift card options available or consider an American Express or Visa gift card with a promise to use them for diapers.
- Don’t forget mama! Cloth nursing pads and “mama cloth” post-baby/menstrual feminine pads are wonderful, comfortable, natural alternatives to the disposable ones. You know you’re going to need them, so why not put them on the registry?!
- Cloth diapers as shower decoration. If close friends or family members are hosting a baby shower, you might encourage them to purchase several newborn AIOs or fitted diapers with covers to use as table decorations or for shower games. They will last longer and be much more useful than the usual floral centerpieces! And the guests – especially those in the grandma crowd – will love to see how far cloth diapers have come and having them around may even inspire another mom-to-be to try cloth. (Not to mention, newborn diapers are so darn cute!!)
Many of you probably have lots of other great ideas for making the most of your cloth diaper registry. What are must-haves? And what should you wait for baby to purchase?

I never believed people when they said their kids “potty trained themselves.” I can’t count the times I inwardly roll my eyes when I overheard “she just decided she was ready and that was that.”
Yeah right, I always thought.
But at about 21 months, my daughter is already on the road to potty training through no pushing on my part. I have literally done nothing other than provide part of the genes for a fiercely independent little spitfire.
It feels like just yesterday that I was doling out M&Ms to my son (one for #1, two for #2) and emptying that foul potty into the toilet several times a day. And then there were the accidents. Oy the accidents. So needless to say, I wasn’t quite ready for my daughter to start toilet training just yet.
Did I mention that she’s only 21 months? As I mentioned in a previous post, I was planning on seriously starting with her right after she turns two in December. But she had a different timeline. And then, BAM!, there I was buying Minnie Mouse panties at Target today.
I’m trying not to get overly excited about it, but the thought of no diapers in my life makes me a very happy mama. Then I start to get a little nostalgic about how fast my baby is growing up and a little sad to give up the cloth diapering part of our life. No, I won’t miss stuffing diapers several times a week (…she says while the giant laundry basket of clean dipes is sitting there staring at her…) or dunking and swirling the poop in the toilet. But there are definitely some things that I will miss about cloth diapers once they aren’t such a big part of my life anymore:
The Online Community. Oh, who am I kidding? I am still going to read the blogs, check the Facebook pages and read articles about cloth diapering even after my baby has stopped wearing them! Beyond the obvious cloth diapering tips, there are so many other great discussions, such nice, aware and helpful mamas and tips on everything from laundry to child rearing, that I don’t want to miss out on.
Clean diapers stuffed and put away. I love the look of a basket full of beautifully colored, clean, stuffed cloth diapers, back in the changing table, ready to go for the next couple of days. For a mom that has a hard time quantifying what I’ve done at the end of the day, it’s a nice sense of accomplishment and grounding in my life.
Seeing diapers sunning outside. A beautiful pop of rainbow colors in my backyard is such a lovely sight… and I secretly love it when my neighbors see it or make comments about my diapers sunning and blowing in the breeze (and you can’t beat the scent and the whiteness of diapers dried in the sun).
Fluffy buns. While I’m excited to get my girl back into some of the cute clothes that don’t quite fit around her diaper anymore (but would actually fit with just underpants on), I will definitely miss that fluffy bum. The way they sometimes look like they are so “bottom-heavy” that they might tip backward at any moment…aww. Makes me want another baby, pronto.
Tangible green moments. Cloth diapering is an everyday reminder of the good we are doing by our planet. I’ll miss looking up and down our street on trash day and being so proud of the small amount we are putting out there at the curb (yes, I know our trash won’t change after diapering stops, but that tangible reminder of the amount of waste we COULD BE putting out because we are still in diapers, is nice).
“Why yes, we do use cloth diapers.” I still get a thrill when new friends see the diapers on my girl or in the diaper bag and comment, opening the door for a conversation about the best way to diaper!
What will you miss most about cloth diapering once your little one is potty trained?

Everyone I talk cloth diapers with knows how smitten I am with the pocket variety.
But let me take a quick step back.
When I was a cloth diapering newbie and apparently had a lot more energy, I tried a bunch of different types of cloth diapers on my daughter. I tried AIOs, fitted diapers, prefolds with covers, and a few different brands of pocket diapers.
Pockets ended up being the clear winner in my book for their functionality and ease of use. A pocket diaper is comprised of two layers – a waterproof outer layer and a fleece (or other soft material) inner layer that sits next to the baby’s skin. The two layers are sewn together at the edges leaving a “pocket” that can be stuffed to provide the absorbency. And of course, FuzziBunz is my favorite of the pockets.
In my head, I had always known that pocket diapers could be extremely versatile, but it has only been recently that I’ve started to actually experiment with stuffing. And when you play around with the absorbency a little, it’s amazing how versatile they really can be.
So I thought I’d give a little run down of how you can stuff pocket diapers to get the most out of these hard working diapers:
- Microfiber inserts that come with the diapers. This is the obvious choice and the only thing I stuffed into diapers until recently. These guys definitely do the job, they fit the pocket perfectly and they have plenty of absorbency for a normal wetter if changed every two hours or so.
- Minky inserts. These are the new breed of inserts from FuzziBunz. They come with the One-Size Elites or you can buy a pack of the insert separately. And I love them. They absorb the same amount or more than the microfiber insert in a much slimmer package, making for a much trimmer profile on baby’s bum. They are billed as being odor resistant and I have to say that I have never had an odor problem with mine. I dream about replacing all of my inserts with these gems.
- All Natural Cotton or Hemp inserts. These natural fibers absorb a LOT of liquid with a very trim profile. And hemp is naturally antibacterial. They make great doublers because they are so thin. I personally have only tried hemp in my pocket diapers and they definitely don’t hold as much as the microfiber ones making for a couple of leaky situations.
- Pre-folds. Using good quality cotton prefolds in pocket diapers is a trick I’ve recently perfected in my pocket diapers. They are obviously not the trimmest option out there, but they saved me when I was fed up with stinky microfiber. I just folded the prefold and stuffed them into the pocket. For some reason, they never developed a stink and they wash up beautifully. And their absorbency is pretty amazing.
- Towels. Never tried it, but it just goes to show you that anything can be stuffed into pocket diapers. They are really just a way to hold the absorbency in place. So yes, absorbent hand towels (bought on sale or second hand, perhaps?), cut up receiving blankets or even old sweatshirts, tshirts, socks, make an easy emergency (or everyday!) alternative to specially-made inserts.
- Double-stuffed. Whatever you’re keen on stuffing into your pockets, don’t ever forget that you can always add absorbency (and perhaps add time between diaper changes?) by doubling up. Add a thin hemp or cotton insert underneath your regular microfiber friend and you’ve added a ton of extra “space” for liquids without increasing the size of your baby’s behind (much). Or two microfibers. Or two Minkies. Or a Minky and a microfiber. The possibilities are endless, so if you’re having leak issues (maybe your baby is finally sleeping through the night but now wakes up wet?), try a doubler. You can thank me later. ☺
What do you stuff into your pocket diapers? Which of these methods works best for you?

Kaylene B. is a mom in her mid-twenties who loves cooking, exercising and in general, living a happy life. She and her husband are expecting a baby boy around Christmas time. Kaylene blogs about her adventures with her cloth diapered, 18 month old daughter, Gianna, at Letters from Momma. She balances her busy lifestyle by staying organized, keeping ahead of household chores and
Q: How have cloth diapers changed your life?
Cloth diapers have changed my life by making me aware of resources used to produce disposable products in general. They’ve added to my laundry time, yes, but minimally. They also help me feel better about other areas of my life where I’m not so “green.” And they’ve made me a few friends, too….CD moms tend to gravitate together!
Q: The first I do when I wake up is…
I’m pregnant, so….use the restroom! And then I go get my sweet 18-month old from her room, because I stay in bed as long as she’ll let me.
Q: No matter how much time it takes, I always…
Get chores done early, rather than let things pile up. I’m one of those ‘annoying’ people who keep a tidy house no matter what.
Q: The most unusual thing in my diaper bag or purse is…
Hmm…. Liquid silver hand sanitizer? Tiny ‘Pooh’ books to occupy my daughter? Who knows how old smushed cereal bars? What’s unusual with a toddler!?
Q: If I could live in one outfit for the rest of my life, it would be…
Surprisingly, it’d be a dress, though I usually live in workout apparel. I have this one Michael Kors brown zebra print dress that is so comfy (and washable) that I got on super sale several years ago. It is flattering, cute, and easy to toss on for a fancier look than I’m used to. I’d chose it because I’d feel really out of place if I ever got asked to go somewhere nice and only had my beloved t-shirts and athletic shorts. I think ahead people!

Wipes are one of the things I have gone “around and around” with since I started cloth diapering.
I started with disposable wipes. At the beginning of my cloth diapering journey, I was slightly overwhelmed and felt that using disposable wipes – as I had with my first baby – would just be easier. I felt overwhelmed by cloth diapers and cloth wipes just threatened to throw me into overload. So I gave myself a little break and went with disposable wipes at the beginning.
But then. Then came the problem of what to DO with the wipes. Exactly how to dispose of them when you are not disposing of the diaper. My habit/instinct was to put the dirty wipes on top of the dirty diaper, which I usually leave lying open on the changing table. Therein lies problem #1 with disposable wipes: how to gingerly pick them up out of the dirty diaper while covered in nastiness and still needing to find a place to throw them away.
I still had my Diaper Champ set up for the odd disposable diaper, so I just made an “eeew” face, stuffed the wipes as fast as I could into the hole, flipped it over and hoped for the best. Enter problem #2: the poor Diaper Champ, a device that was never intended to be a place to dispose of paper thin, wet wipes, was always getting stuck, and worse, the inside of the well was always covered in poo (it was breastmilk poo at that point, but still). Blech.
You’re guessing where this is going: It didn’t take me long to make the switch to cloth wipes.
As soon as I got my act together on the cloth diapers when my daughter was about 4 weeks, I realized cloth wipes would not be a big deal. I started with an old disposable wipes container that had a pop-top. I filled it with a stack of 16 cheapo baby washcloths folded in half (the kind without the piped edges because they lay flatter in the container). Then, I filled the container up with water covering the washcloths and added either 1) a few drops of California Baby baby wash and swirled it around, or 2) several sprays of the California Baby Diaper Area Wash. That number of wipes usually lasted me a couple days. And I don’t like to let them sit for longer than two days anyway to prevent bacteria growth (so only soak number of wipes you think you’ll use in two days).
Cloth wipes are like jelly to the cloth diaper peanut butter – they just work well together. When I was wiping up a mess, I no longer had to worry about accidently putting the disposable wipes in the washer with the cloth diapers (though it did happen a couple times and they actually come through in one piece – not a shredded mess as you might guess). I just piled stinky on top of stinky, rolled the whole thing into a ball of stinky and plopped it in the bag to wait for laundry day.
Now, I should mention that when baby starts solids and the real-deal poops begin, there is a little more finagling with the cloth wipes. Since the diaper should be rinsed and swirled to remove the solid waste, I usually try to wad up the dirty wipes into a ball with a clean washcloth exposed on the outside and then stuff that ball into the hanging diaper pail with the other dirty diapers before I go to take care of the diaper. But even that can get nasty come laundry day. Oh, and the cheap cloth wipes do need to be replaced every so often (going with a higher quality cloth wipe to begin with might solve that and would probably work out to the same cost overall).
Today, I don’t use very many wipes in a day, so I go back and forth between cloth and disposable wipes and use whatever I have available at that moment. But as I’ve learned, used wipes can be pretty offensive no matter which method you choose.
I will say that cloth wipes make me feel a heckuva lot better about the whole experience and I think my daughter agrees – I mean, who wouldn’t want to be wiped with a soothing, nice-smelling, soft washcloth to get rid of the nasties?

Quite possibly the most-asked question from moms considering cloth diapering is: how many and what kind of diapers do I need?? Great question. And probably every experienced cloth diapering mom out there would give them a different answer.
Like a lot of things with cloth diapers, the answer really is: it depends (helpful, right?). It depends on the body type and shape of your baby, how heavily they wet and what works for your family’s laundry routine.
My daughter is a light to moderate wetter (i.e. in two hours, she rarely fills a diaper so much that it leaks) and we don’t use cloth at night all the time. We have 27 diapers that are in regular rotation and I do laundry every 2-3 days. Here’s a rundown of our stash and how we use them:
- 12 FuzziBunz One-Size Originals. For normal days, under normal clothes when we will be out and about for a while or at nap time.
- 1 FuzziBunz One-Size Elite (my favorite!!). Same use as above.
- 5 FuzziBunz Perfect Size (Small). A little trimmer for pants that fit slimmer. Also for times we are just staying around the house because they tend to soak quicker.
- 2 FuzziBunz Perfect Size (Medium). Same use as above, however, we do have the room to double them if needed.
- 7 random other brands – all pocket diapers. Usually use them while I am doing laundry.
I’ve tried a couple of other types of cloth diapers when we were first starting out and pockets were definitely our favorite, so we went with it and haven’t looked back. I like that the pockets allow you to customize the absorbency and use the same outer shell for several different purposes.
With 12 of them, our FuzziBunz One-Sizes are the workhorse of our stash and they have literally grown with my daughter. I reach for those guys first. Truth be told, I reach for our one lonely pink One-size Elite first whenever it’s clean. It’s our newest diaper and I love how the buttons don’t ever irritate my daughter’s skin (because they are on the inside), the absorbency is better, diaper lays smooth and I just love it. But once “Pinkie” is dirty, I go for the other one-sizes (Maybe I should just get another Elite, huh?).
If you’ve been reading my posts for a while, you know that I actually prefer the fit of the Perfect Size diapers, but my daughter is currently between sizes so the smalls are too small and the mediums are still a touch too big. Soon, I’ll need to retire the smalls completely and get a couple more mediums because when those mediums start fitting perfectly, Perfects will again be my fave!
For inserts, I generally use the ones that come with the diapers. The One-Size diapers come with two sizes of inserts, we use the longer ones now that my daughter is a little bigger (I keep the shorter ones handy to double up). But, several months ago when I was battling stinkies, I started stuffing the pocket diapers with a good quality prefold instead of the typical insert hoping it would help with the irritation and smell. They are a little bulkier, but are fantastic absorbers, so even though we don’t have stinkies to speak of, I keep a couple prefold-stuffed diapers in the regular rotation. I usually stuff the Watermelon One-size and the Mint Perfect Size with them just to have a little more absorbency available in case I need it.
Like I said, I try to wash every other or every third day. Especially now that she gets changed less often, these 20-something diapers are enough for us, though there are weeks that I have to dip into our basket of “others” (the ones not in regular rotation because they don’t fit exactly right or just don’t work for some reason). I know many people have waaay more and some make do with a lot fewer, but this number works for us. I should note that when my daughter was younger and we were changing her more frequently, we had several other diapers – newborn AIOs, Extra-Smalls, prefolds with covers and some that were lent to us – in the mix and were probably up to about 35 useable diapers.
Finally, the colors. You can see that I am not afraid of color and I definitely didn’t go with only “girl colors.” I actually love the blues and greens because they contrast nicely with a lot of the pinks and purples my daughter wears. I believe we now own almost every color FuzziBunz with some duplicates (Cotton Candy, Green Apple and White) and some exceptions (Spearmint and Buttercream – odd to me that I don’t have this perfect little yellow color, but that’s just how it worked out!).
So there’s a little breakdown of our cloth diaper stash. I consider all of the diapers in our stash necessary and don’t feel like we have too many luxuries. I keep wondering if I should buy a few more, but I feel like we are on the wrong end of our diapering years to start buying up a bunch more (but after this post, I’m thinking we need a Buttercream Elite, don’t you?!). If you’re just starting out, I hope this helps you and if you’re an experienced cloth diaperer and something different works for you, we’d love to hear about it!
What do you think makes up a good cloth diaper stash? What are the necessities? The luxuries?
