Cloth Diapering at Child Care

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013

Being a working mom of two, it is necessary my boys go to daycare. I work a split shift from home for a large company, so I am able to be home with them from 12:30 until they go to bed around 7:30 pm. After they’re asleep, I finish my shift. Because of this, I only need 13 hours a week for daycare, which is great. I have a lot of time with my boys and still get to work full-time. However, I didn’t want to give up my cloth diapers because my boys were in daycare.

I did a lot of research on health codes and asked a lot of advice from my cloth diaper community. I wanted to be sure I had all my information ready. At the time we decided to start, I had two in diapers and the boys were going through at least three diapers a session at daycare – if not more. I knew it was going to be a lot more “wallet-friendly” to have the boys in cloth during their daycare time as well as at home. The cost of daycare for two boys is expensive enough! Our daycare was very accepting of our choice, which made the process a lot easier for us. I am pretty sure we were the first family at our daycare to try this out.

It was determined that (in the state of Connecticut, at least) the soiled diapers needed to be placed in a sealed container, which was to be taken home each night and cleaned for use the next day. For this, we used a shoebox-sized plastic bin from the storage container section of our local “super-store”. This size bin nicely held three cloth diapers, which was typically perfect. We did keep a few disposable diapers on hand at the daycare in case there were a few extra “stinky” ones which required more than three diapers in one day.

My biggest concern was the use of diaper cream. Prior to cloth, diaper cream was applied regularly at daycare, providing we had given permission. Obviously, diaper cream is not to be used with cloth diapers, but I came up with a solution. I only asked that that it be used if he had some redness. Cole especially has really sensitive skin, so we do periodically coat him with a little cream on occasion to keep any skin irritation away. I purchased flushable liners to be used at daycare and bought a cloth diaper-friendly cream just in case some accidentally got on the diapers. The flushable liners also helped with the poop diapers, too, since it make it easier to dump in the toilet.

I came in and demonstrated the diapers, which I pre-stuffed for the staff every day. This way, they were able to ask me questions and be comfortable with using them. I think some of the staff was pretty surprised as to how easy they were. Over the last two years or so, cloth diapering at daycare has gone smoothly.

Cole on his birthday.

On January 5th of this year, Cole turned three years old. A few days after his birthday, he actually transitioned out of daycare and the early intervention program (an at home program for kids with delays or special needs) and into the public school system. He now attends a 3-5 year old program through our local kindergarten that is for children with special needs and “typical” peers. At first, I was afraid we would have to go to disposable diapers. I actually was a little nervous to bring it up with all of the formal meetings. When we starting visiting the classroom, I decided to give it a go and ask. What was the worst that could happen? They say no? So I asked. At first, they said we would have to buy disposables for school, but after I showed them the diapers and how similar they are to a disposable diaper, they agreed to give it a go! And so far, it seems to also be going well!

I know some people decide not to cloth diaper because they send their kids to daycare. I can tell you that with the right center, and the right research, you can successfully cloth diaper and have child care!

Why You Need To Get A Diaper Sprayer & Buying Tips

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013
If you were to have asked me two years ago what a diaper sprayer was, I would have looked at you like you were crazy and said “a what”. Ask me now, and it is my favorite cloth diaper accessory, something that I use each day. While I could live without my diaper sprayer, and have while traveling, I prefer not to because it makes cleaning and rinsing out my diapers super easy! In this article, I will give you a few reasons why you should take the plunge (no pun intended) and get your own diaper sprayer, as well as tips on buying a diaper sprayer.
Why do I need a diaper sprayer?
  • It makes rinsing poopy diapers very easy. Simply spray the poop into the toilet and flush away. End of story. I even used my diaper sprayer on breastfeeding poop, as well. Works like a charm! Thoroughly rinsing your diapers after poop will also help to prevent staining.
  • It is easily attached to the side of your toilet and does not stick out like a sore thumb. The design is sleek and smooth, yet practical.
  • It’s a conversation starter! While I mentioned above that it is sleek and trim hanging on your toilet, I am sure people will still wonder what the beautiful piece of chrome hanging on your toilet is. This is when you introduce them to cloth diapers and just how “fun” it is to use the sprayer!
  • It can act as a multipurpose tool. My diaper sprayer is in reach of the bath tub. I have used it on multiple occasions to clean my tub and even my dog. Never underestimate the power of creativity with your diaper sprayer!

Tips on buying a diaper sprayer:

  • Don’t skimp out when buying a diaper sprayer! This is an item you will be using on a daily basis for the next 2+ years if you cloth diaper 1 child. Invest in a quality one that will last.
  • Make sure you get a diaper sprayer that has an adjustable pressure valve. This adjustable spray allows for even some of the most stubborn poops to be lifted off the diaper at its highest setting. I have seen sprayers that barely trickle out at their highest setting, and this does not help to get the diapers clean!
  • I prefer a diaper sprayer that is made of durable materials such as chrome. Not only does it look stylish, but it will hold up to the everyday use.

So what about you? Do you own a diaper sprayer? Why or why not have you chosen to use one? Do you find it as helpful as I have?

The Importance of Community

Tuesday, December 18th, 2012

A few weeks ago, my husband and I attended a conference and gala for the Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Theraputics (FAST). This was our first year attending since my son, Cole, was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome back in June. It was completely amazing. We met so many people in the same situation as us. Just about every person in that room had a child, grandchild, niece, nephew, or someone they knew with Angelman Syndrome. It really made my husband and I feel comfortable knowing how much we all really did have in common, despite coming from all over the world. We felt like part of a community.

I think that we can all relate to that sense of community. Communities can involve anyone and anything. In the cloth diaper world, we have our own community. We go to websites, blogs, message boards, and groups to talk about all of our fluff! We can get answers to questions about which is the best laundry detergent or reach out for support when our 1 year olds start figuring out how to take off their diapers. You may have a local diaper swap in your area where you meet up with other parents who share the same love in cloth as you. This community makes us feel like we’re a part of something big.

These communities help us sort through our problems and are there to give us a “wahoo” when something goes right. I had never really looked at the people in my life this way until Cole was diagnosed and I was not sure where to go.

The day we were diagnosed, I updated my status on Facebook to announce the news. Not only did I receive an outpouring of support from my “friend” community, I also received contacts of people my friends knew who also had children with the same syndrome as Cole. I was able to get in touch with one of these contacts and she was able to put me into a group that has been a life line for us. We were able to finally meet a lot of these people in that online community when we attended the gala.

I must say that I feel very fortunate to be part of that Angelman Community. Even though the reason we’re a community isn’t ideal, it is a very special group of people. Each member of the community is there for each of our children. If you post a question on Facebook , within minutes there is a response. And then another. And another. Every person in our community cares about everyone else’s journey. We’re in this together. The chairperson of FAST mentioned this at the gala and it brought tears to my eyes.

I hope that everyone has a community they can turn to.

Meet the NEW FuzziBunz Bloggers: Jenn Kubicza

Tuesday, October 30th, 2012

We’re changing things up here on the FuzziBunz blog! For the next few months, you’ll be hearing from five real moms who have learned how to make cloth diapering work for them! From diapering multiple sets of multiples (yes, you read that right!) to diapering kids with special needs who require extended diapering, join us to learn about five modern moms and their adventures with fluff! -FuzziBunz Blog Editors

Have you ever experienced “cloth diaper regret?” That is when you start cloth diapering your second… (or third…or so on…) child and realize….this is so easy! Why didn’t I do it along?” Jenn Kubicza, a mom to two energetic boys, began cloth diapering when her second son was about 4 months old and she loves helping the environment while to saving money

She has also enjoyed connecting with the cloth diapering community,  since being a working mom of two (one being a child with special needs) forced her to put some of her own interests on the back burner.  Her youngest son has a rare condition called Angelman Syndrome, which is caused by a deletion on one of his chromosomes.  He doesn’t speak and is still learning to walk, but he is the most determined little boy his mom knows!

Look for Jenn’s upcoming column about cloth diapering as a working mom of a child with special needs.

FuzziBunz Announces New Lifetime Warranty On All FuzziBunz Cloth Diapers

FuzziBunz® Announces New Lifetime Warranty On All FuzziBunz Cloth Diapers

Lafayette, Louisiana (January 20, 2012) – FuzziBunz® cloth diapers today announces a new extended lifetime warranty on its entire award-winning cloth diaper collection. The new lifetime warranty covers any defects related to malfunctioning snap closures or any issues related to the diaper’s PUL (waterproof outer shell).

In year’s prior, FuzziBunz®’s warranty only offered one year protection on snap closures and PUL defects. Today, the new lifetime snap and PUL warranty covers all diapers purchased past, present and future for the life of the diaper.

Tereson Dupuy, the founder and CEO of FuzziBunz®, says her goal with creating a lifetime warranty is to show her customers that she stands behind her brand.

“I want people to feel confident that the FuzziBunz modern cloth diapers they buy will properly function for a long time. I feel the best way for me to demonstrate my commitment to our customers is to guarantee the diaper’s snaps and PUL for life,” says Dupuy. “Customers can feel confident in their choice to use FuzziBunz diapers knowing that a company stands behind its products.”

The new lifetime warranty on snaps and PUL is one of the first of its kind in a booming reusable diaper industry. FuzziBunz officials say if a snap breaks or the diaper’s PUL doesn’t function properly, the company will fix or replace it immediately.

The new warranty was implemented in response to defective snaps mistakenly used by the company’s manufacturer in early 2011 and that impacted a handful of diapers that went into circulation.

“We deeply regret that some of our customers experienced any issues with their snap closures. We are doing everything in our power to make these customers feel whole again and to show them that we promise to fix any diapers that experience snap defects without hesitation,” adds Dupuy. “New diapers, including the new Elite One Size Diapers, were not impacted and customers can feel confident that we have taken significant measures to rid of these defective closures from our inventory.” (View Tereson Dupuy’s statement)

Customers experiencing any snap or PUL defects should immediately complete a Warranty Support Form at http://www.fuzzibunzretailers.com/prodSupport.php for swift replacement of their diapers.

Further, FuzziBunz has implemented a new product support tool in order to more swiftly and directly communicate with customers and address any concerns they have about the new warranty, snap issues or anything else. The tool is found online at http://www.fuzzibunz.com/getSat.php.

About FuzziBunz®

The patented FuzziBunz® cloth diapers are a modern, convenient and sustainable diapering solution for today’s busy parents.  The reusable pocket cloth diapers ensure no leaks, no rash and no waste. FuzziBunz® diapers include three layers: 1) a waterproof outer barrier to keep wetness contained, 2) a soft microfleece inner layer that touches a baby’s skin and pulls away moisture, and 3) a unique, pocket-style opening that enables a parent to customize the absorbency using super absorbent micro-terrycloth pads. Stay-at-home-mom, Tereson Dupuy, invented FuzziBunz® in January 1999 in response to her infant son’s chronic diaper rash and her overall dissatisfaction with all available diapers.  Tereson stitched the first FuzziBunz® in her home and a short time later, the modern cloth diapering movement was born. Today, FuzziBunz comes in Perfect Size and One-Size cloth diaper options.  For more information about FuzziBunz® cloth diapers and accessories and to find a list of retailers, please visit www.FuzziBunz.com.
