Thread: How do I strip diapers?

They have a suggested button setting chart for each age and weight range. If it is not on the package, it is on their website. There are three adjustable elastics - one back and two waist. One of my customers sent me pics of a FBOS very comfortably on her 10 lb newborn and it fit great. They do go pretty tiny!

You can use Dawn - scrub it in a little with a toothbrush (sounds worse than it is), and rinse before you throw them in the washer. That should be ok on your machine. My friend strips hers in the dishwasher! I would just stop it before you get to the rinse cycle if you have jet dry in your machine. Some people have even boiled successfully. Good luck! I know it's frustating.

I'm not an expert on pockets, but I know Swaddlebees are very trim and you could buy Joey-Bunz or something similar to go in them.

I just did hot wash with extra rinse... Though I'll say our water and electricity bill pretty much stayed the same even after we stopped CD. Deanna

I use a large zippered wetbag with a hanging loop for my diaper pail. I also have a couple of smaller zippered wetbags for travel. Leslie's Boutique are the best ones I've found (I also have a PlanetWise but it isn't as good as the LB for holding in stink, and a Wet Happened which works well but lacks a hanger loop.)

I use a sposie at night for ds. He just pees too much and he wakes up when he feels wet. So, to get a nice long period of sleep for all, he's in a sposie. I lost my travel wetbag (no idea where it went), but I use sposies when we are going to be out & about. If visiting someone's home, I might use cloth if I had my wetbag. The only issue is poopy diapers. Ds makes stinkers and the wetbag didn't really seal in the smell. Ami

I can send it to you if you want. I have...

when I was nannying & using disposables it was very normal for there to be beads of gel on the lo's tush when I changed the diaper. I changed them at least every 2 hrs. I kept a log & the parents liked to see an every 2hr diaper change.

Don't feel guilty about making your short vacation easier! I've only used 7th Generation (out of your choices), and really liked them. I had terrible blow-outs with G-diapers.

Bamboo will absorb more than cotton and microfleece, but it will soak thru. whatever it absorbs "spreads" all around the fabric until it is saturated. We go coverless at home and use wool when we go out. Wool is great too
