Cloth Baby Diapers
Cloth baby diapers are natural, safe, and very cost efficient. If you don't mind washing them, they can be a great alternative to disposable diapers.
Here are some items you will need:
Prefold Diapers
These diapers are what you think of when you think of a cloth diaper. They are large rectangles with three sections, the middle section being reinforced.
These are commonly available at Walmart in packs of 6 or so. The ones you buy at the store are usually thinner than the cloth diapering community would prefer. Look for Diaper Service Prefolds for extra strength.
Diaper Covers
If you are using prefolds, or some other version of cloth diapers, you will probably want to have a rubber cover over your diapers. These can be used for several diapers before needing to be washed.
AIO All In One
All in one diapers are just what the name implies = All In One. They are already folded, usually have waterproof backing all in place, and are ready to go. They do tend to be a little more expensive than prefolds, but if you want super convenience, this might be the way to go.
Diaper Pins
Most cloth diapers these days use extra strength velcro to stay closed, but some still require good old fashioned diaper pins.
Diaper Wipes
If you are going cloth, you might as well go for cloth wipes as well! Keep them in a bucket with a solution of baby bath and water, ready to go! Toss them into the wash with your diapers. Baby washcloths also make good wipes.
Diaper Pail
You'll want to acquire a good diaper pail for your cloth diapers. Get a washable bag/liner for the pail. Place wet diapers in the pail, and make sure to rinse poopy diapers in the toilet before you put them in the pail. Sprinkling Arm & Hammer in the pail will go a long way towards odor control.
