Blog Action Day- Decrapifying your life to be greener.
To steal a word from my husband, I strive to decrapify my life. My husband and I both have similar goals for our lives, families and living in general. We are on the same page in the same book for many things, but when it comes to […]
Until June 26, 2007 you can combine the following Luvs coupons at target for a smoking deal on disposable diapers. Pay only $3.50 per package… and this is coming from a cloth diapering mamma.
The light went on a few months ago and I realized that cloth diapers at night can be a reality; however a breathable diaper at night is virtually impossible for my daughter.
If you want to try a less expensive soaker for diapers, Sam’s Club has “Micro Fiber Detailers Best Towels” in a 25 count for $9.58. 1 bag of 25 towels is about the same price as about 3 micro-fiber soakers, and I have found them to work just as good. For about $.40 each it is worth the try to see if the “Ultra Absorbent” towels work for you.
Infant Potty Training is a method of start to take your child to eliminate on a toilet or other receptacle starting early in life. I started potty training my DD regularly at 2 ½ months. My reasoning for doing this was that it is done successfully in 80% of the world where they spend more time with their children; I wanted to wash less diapers, and I HATE changing soiled diapers.
At the beginning I only had about 60% success with keeping her diaper dry. This success rate has increased dramatically over the past few months as she seems to void less during the day and she is voiding on the potty more. She also seems to understand that she is going potty. Recently, she has shown signs that she knows to go potty when we say her potty signal. In the last week I have also stopped using a diaper while at home during the day, except for naps, with great success on the potty and my clean floors.
My daughter only uses wipes occasionally so I modified several recipes to come up with my own recipe for baby wipes.
You can store the solution in a 4 oz. spray bottle and spray it onto the wipe at the time of the diaper changing or you can store the wipes and the solution in the same tight fitting, leak proof container.
This is the most basic of recipes for diaper wipes. My daughter only uses wipes occasionally, so I usually use a spray bottle with water & Tea Tree Oil to spray on wipe clothes when needed.

Using cloth diapers on your baby will cost about 1/3 to 1/4 of the price of disposables.
This amount will become even more cost effective if you use cloth on more than one child, as you only need to purchase cloth supplies once.
I ordered Chinese pre-fold cloth diapers & ProRaps Classics for my baby. I chose to use pre-fold diapers because they cost the least AND they had the best reviews. I choose ProRaps because they were rated highly & I purchased 2nds at ½ the regular price. The reviews that mentioned 2nds for ProRaps said […]
I purchased my pre-fold diapers from http://www.NaturalBabies.com and the wraps directly from ProServices (http://www.prodiaper.net) at (800) 397-8594.
Pre-fold diapers are usually a rectangle divided into 3 sections made from cotton. The outer sections usually have 2 or 4 layers and the inner section has 4, 6, or 8 layers. When you look at a […]
