Affiliate links are included throughout this post at absolutely no cost to you. i only promote what i truly love! i hope these 8 things i learned cloth diapering help you out as you seek out a better diapering solution for your little one! almost 1 year ago to this very day, i put my very first cloth diaper on my tiny little 1 month old baby girl. You can resell them! i was excited when i learned this because it makes cloth diapers even more affordable if you can recoup some of your cost after the fact. as of now (my son is 17 months old) i think we’ve spent $300 $400 on cloth diapers and i’ve already resold some of his smaller diapers for around $100.

Jun 11, 2016 8 things i learned during my 1st year of cloth diapering after one full year of cloth diapering my daughter, i've learned a ton & want to share with. I urge you not to do this. like many things, what you pay is what you get. and i wish i’d made a larger investment on my cloth diaper stash from the beginning, when i was first preparing for my cloth diaper journey, i purchased three different brands of cloth diapers from amazon: mama koala, alva baby, and nora’s nursery. For the first 7 8 months of cloth diapering, washing diapers was really simple. we used zero waste laundry soap and diapers came out perfectly clean. we threw the diapers in the washing machine as if they were any pile of dirty clothes. our system included hot water and zero waste laundry soap, and then line drying them. 6 years ago, when i started cloth diapering, i started with a stash of prefold diapers, size 1 covers, and a few microfibre all in one’s from the popular brand (at the time). the first few months i stumbled through wash routines and leaks trying to figure out how to cloth diaper and how to transition into motherhood. it was a messy time.
