The great thing about the Lalabye baby diapers is that your DONT have to stuff them! They are bamboo inserts so they are safe to go against the baby’s bum. The blue snaps on the insert just snap onto the cover in the front of back right on top of the suede layer! Love seeing cloth diapering videos from bigger RUclipsrs.
I think there is huge comradery in the cloth diapering community. I would hope that the people that said you were going to fail had absolutely no experience with cloth diapering. Also, it could be that other family vloggers did try and fail with cloth diapers and they expect everyone to fail. I’m here for the comradery.
Perfect! I’ve been bingeing your old Cloth Diaper videos while I prep my newborn diapers. 💕 And yes, people think cloth diapering twins is insane! Lol
I am glad you did this diaper video. I'm pregnant with my second and researching like crazy so i can cloth diaper him.
My kids are 20 and 24 and I used the traditional square cloth diapers (nappies I’m an Aussie).They had the cutest patterned plastic pants over them.I think it helped to toilet train earlier. The washing was soak in a bucket and wash.I had no other friends at the time that did it.It was cheaper and no hassle.In Australia we use clothesline’s so they hung in the sun and that helped keep them white. Talking about water...We are in a bad drought in Australia so we have heavy restrictions and I live on the coast 11/2 hours south of Sydney.We pray at our church and I would love if you could at your church.We have huge fires that have Burt through millions of hectares more than 600 homes and now 8 lives and summer only started 3 weeks ago.I’m a teacher and teachers from my school and children from my school have lost homes in the last 48 hours and tomorrow the areas my school kids come from is deemed catastrophic so they are stuck.ALL our fire fighters are volunteers and two young fathers(volunteers) were killed last night.NSW is burning and we need prayer and would be so blessed to have you and your church’s prayers.If you would like to see about it you could look at the NSW RFS site.I don’t comment often but love watching your beautiful family and extended family.God gave you gorgeous children and they have amazing parents.God bless❤️
Yay!!! Cloth diaper video. And I wouldn't listen to those people who will say you'll fail. They obviously haven't ever done CDs for their kids, so they have no experience. Mom of soon to be 5, cloth diapered all my kiddos and I was told over and over again that i would fail or quit
Ahh I’m so excited for this!!! Ive been wanting to make the switch for forever.
Can you add some links for those of us who want to get started?
LOL the title was great !!! i know when i was a baby there was no other choice but cloth diapers with PINS !!! and rubber panties OMG
Where do you put the diapers in between wearing and washing when you take them off and they’re wet or dirty?
I'm in Pampers size 6 for bedtime accidents 😊
what brand of prefold diapers do you use for the twins?
My youngest is almost 11 and I have no plans to have anymore kids......yet here I am just Because I love y'all!
Where did you get all of your used diapers?
At my baby shower I requested no disposable diapers because I wanted to solely cloth diaper. I had all but 2 people tell me I would fail. We're 17 months in and absolutely the best decision for simplicity, costs, and environmentally friendly. I found your channel through the topic of cloth. Thank you for sharing about this topic, I requested it and love your perspective. Y'all are totally amazing, such an inspiration and I appreciate you putting yourself out there. Every time I get a notification I know a little joy is going to pour into my life. Thanks for keeping it real.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
I also use my dryer to dry our diapers. But! The sun is great for getting out the stains without destroying the cloth.
My boys were so big they didnt even come close to a NB we went straight to the prefolds and covers. We have some ONES, AIOs and the covers, and covers are hands down the best IMO.
Do you use bamboo inserts?
Im from the UK and I really don't know how popular cloth nappies are here. Im sure lots of people must use them, but it's not something you really hear about.
Years ago all there was were Terry cloth nappies with a liner insert that you scraped off any poop and dropped into a nappy bucket with a pre wash solution. They were then washed or boiled and hung out to dry.
Reusable cloth sanitary pads are becoming very popular here. You soak in cold water with a pre wash solution and wash at low temp so not to set blood stains.
I had hysterectomy couple of years ago so I don't bleed but use them as a daily liner for freshness. This means I just throw them in the wash with my normal laundry.
So much more comfortable and warmer than disposables.
Are they popular in the USA?
They're fairly popular in the uk, probably as much as in the u.s
There's a lot of options and variety of shops that sell them, even aldi during the baby events.
We use mostly bumgenius pockets that I bought second hand and I stuff them with prefolds. Magnolia is such a heavy wetter that I can't just lay the insert in a cover it always seems to move around and then she leaks. I really like lulubye diapers because it has a double pocket and you don't have to take the insert out before you put it in the wash (the agitation makes it come out). When she was smaller I really liked buttons diapers because it was a cover with inserts but the inserts snapped in. The only reason we aren't using those still is because their inserts are sized and I got such a good deal on the pockets I couldn't justify also getting a bigger size insert for the buttons diapers.
I started cloth diapering because you inspired me to do so with my third child. I have been using them for over 6 months now. I love them!
I have a pretty good routine with cloth diapers now. It definitely takes time, trial and error to get it down. I hang dry my pocket diapers overnight and they're good and dry in the morning. Love this video! Thanks!
I don't stuff my Lalabyes. I snap them in and leave the inserts on top.
Rachel you really do look good! Can not even tell you recently had a baby!!!!
I air dry overnight with a fan, works like a charm.
Eloise needs a swing. My grandson is just like her and he calms right down when you put him in his swing with the music on. He’s 9 weeks old.
Wow! That's crazy info about cloth diapering.... you guys are an awesome couple. My husband and I have a 4 month old baby girl Ava Bronte through IVF. I enjoy all your RUclips videos and watching your beautiful family! Many blessings 😘
You young kids just chat amongst yourselves...I’ll sit back 🍷and watch Eloise 🧏🏻♀️
I have a question for you Rachel ; do you get anxious leaving the kids? Like if your going out not to work. For myself I hate it I trust my husband 110% but I can’t help myself I’m like a maniac when it comes to the kids. Maybe I need to get out more 🤣
Thanks for Your opinion on cloth diapers. I used them as well but the old fashioned type lol.... they are so much nicer now days..
My son is 21 months and I am considering cloth diapering. What is the best diapers for a 25 pound child?
What pre-folds are you currently using? I cloth diaper my 10.5 month old b/g twins.
Great video! I’d love to also see a video about Rachel’s switch from Fitbit to Apple Watch, as I just recently did the same thing for the same reasoning. Could be a fun video. I’d be interested in hearing what you love about both vs what you don’t! 🥰
Would you guys consider doing a what I got my kids fir Christmas video? I think it would be cool to see as it feels like you put a lot of thought into what you buy for your kids. Also I really love the channel I don't have any kids but all of this is very informative and fun.
Do you guys use a pail or a wet bag? I’m thinking of switching to a hanging wet bag but like to overthink things for at least a month before I do lol
Wanted to add that almost my entire stash is from BSTs too, helps me feel better about the water/energy waste and helped keep diapers affordable.
We cloth diapered our youngest. We had already bought all her diapers but we’re going to use disposables in the hospital. But the first diaper she used blistered her so bad she bled! The dr said she was allergic to them so I sent my husband home to get her cloth. Our favorites were a plain prefixed and cover.
I tried one cloth diaper on my daughter she peed in it like once then it was already soaked through & I hand washed it & air dried so I'm back to disspoable but we always use disposal. one thing I want to request u guys talk bout it menstrual cycle I know most guys are like I don't wanna talk about this lol I but I think it's something to talk about lol
My water has only gone up $1 or $2 since I started cloth diapering. I do covers and prefolds too
Was wondering how you get explosive blow out out of baby clothes
Another good vlog keep going guys this such a fun channel I look so forward to it!! I have my glass wine right along with u i love it!! Thanks again!!!
I loved cloth diapering my kids too! So cute and who knew diapering could be so fun!
When my kids were born we have a service that brings clothes diapers to our home. We had a hamper and put then there, when they pooped we used the toilet to dispose the poop. They came every week and bring clean ones. We used plastic diapers covers to keep the pee and keep their clothes dry. When they had doctors appointments or went out we used Pampers. It was a great service and no washing dirty diapers.
I love cloth diapers I definitely prefer pockets and all in ones during the day and covers with flats at night
I prerinse my cloth diapers and wash on regular cycle and hang to dry they are dry within an hour spin cycle really does most of the work
You don’t have to stuff Lalabye babies. You can snap the insets on top!!
You two, crack me up. I'm laughing out loud.
Rachel, the persistent horn is proof that you are a very precious unicorn. 😃
When my children were little we used Terry napkins we put a pad in the middle x
I used cloth diapers with my second child when the covers were new
Please do one of these on breastfeeding!!
Eloise looking and talking to daddy ❣
Yep Rach, we're all still here.😁
Eloise is so adorable!
Buttons have awesome covers and I use that system you use for the twins for my 3 month old. I use a lot of fst to pas folded, so it’s super cheap! I cloth because of you guys! Haha
Pad folded*
You forgot to leave the link for the washing machine instructions : (
I know I was looking for it too. Figure I’ll try to google and see if I can find it.
Love the horn!
Years ago , rinse poopy diaper in toilet, then wash regular. Vinegar in last rinse to get soap out
YES CLOTH DIAPERS!!! Lol i have a 1yr old in cloth diapers and a 1month old in cloth diapers 😍 i love them, i use Mama Koala and Alva Baby pocket diapers, with mostly microfiber inserts. I agree, people love watching other people fail, i totally get it, which makes it very satisfying when we thrive muahaha
Even with perfect wash cycle you still have to strip every 18-24 months. My experience anyways. Been clothing for over five years.
