Wondering how to use prefolds? I’ve got lots of experience to share! My cloth diapering journey has come full circle. When my son was born in 2012, his first cloth diapers were prefolds and covers. Now that my twins are about to potty train, I’ve returned to this system and fallen back in love…
Disposable wet wipes suck! I mean, they actually suck at the job they’re meant to do. Even if I’m using disposables for some reason, I prefer to keep up with cloth wipes if possible. It’s really not complicated to use cloth wipes: if you’re already using cloth diapers, its super easy, and if you use…
Whether you’re the cloth diaperer and you need to send some hints to Santa, or you’re shopping for a cloth-diapering family, my list of gift ideas for the fluff-loving family is the perfect place to start! Just because a family has a full stash doesn’t mean they won’t appreciate some awesome accessories or even a…
I have tried a lot of cloth diapers in my now five-year parenting journey. With the twins due to arrive next year and Miss Cub not ready to potty train, being on the verge of having three in cloth has led me to go through my stash and keep only the most reliable diapers we…
Although my favourite cloth diapers cost upwards of $25 each, I don’t want anyone to think that they cannot afford to cloth diaper if a $600+ stash is not a possibility. One of the best ways to get into cloth inexpensively, without compromising on quality and performance, is to purchase diaper covers and use something…
I love cloth diapers. I live cloth diapers. I will talk to anyone who is willing to listen about how awesome cloth diapering is. Heck, I make a living writing about cloth diapers … I am not sure that disposable-diaper blogging is such a lucrative niche. However, my blog is not about telling parents they…
This blog post is a bit of a “choose your adventure” type of deal. Depending on how familiar you are with Funky Fluff diapers, you may or may not need my spiel about recent changes to the company and the product line. If you’re a long-time #FunkyFluffian and want me to outline these changes, keep…
I clearly had overnight cloth diapering easy with Cub. My “overnight cloth diaper sandwich” was a huge success for me and the many moms who continue to tell me they use it and love it. Little Miss Cub is an avid night-nurser, and she’s typically in her overnight diaper for at least thirteen hours. She…
Whoever says cloth diapering is expensive never considered the following: our homes are full of textiles that can be used as diapers. You can think of it as being cheap, or you can think of it as going green—I prefer the latter. Rather than tossing a pile of ratty men’s T-shirts into the trash or…
Now that I’ve been fully immersed in the world of cloth diapers for four years, I’ve had the chance to try a lot of different products. A lot of times I review diapers or accessories and then pass them on to a diaper-lending charity or a friend, not because there’s anything wrong with them, but…
I recently went to Ikea for a cheap lunch date with Little Miss Cub and decided to mix business with vegetable balls and do some cloth diapering-hacks recon. Fun detail: While we were eating, another mama came up to me and said, “Are you the lady with the blog?!” Yes. Yes I am. Cloth diapering…
In my dream world, we could all afford top-of-the-line, made-in-Canada cloth diapers, hand-sewn from silk spun from free-range unicorn tears. Alas, such is not the case. I will settle for getting as many families into cloth diapers as possible, regardless of budget constraints. Why? Because as soon as you start, you start saving money, and…
Do you have a cloth-diapering family on your holiday shopping list? Perhaps YOU are a cloth-diapering family and want to subtly drop some hints about gifts you could really use? Well, I’ve put together a list of great gift ideas for any family that uses or plans to use cloth diapers. I’m writing this with…
I successfully diapered Cub overnight using my Overnight Insert Sandwich combo all the way until he potty-trained at about three-and-a-half years old. Little Miss saturates that combo and the diaper leaks without fail; so have a lot of other options I’ve tried. There are a few factors that explain this: She still nurses at least…
I would just like to state for the record that I completed a course in Terminology during my Translation Diploma, and it was my favourite course. I did my project on knitting terminology, but dagnabbit if I’d been cloth diapering at that time, I would’ve done my project on cloth diaper terminology. I know from…
