do they come with washing instructions or is there a special way to wash them so they hold up? what kind of soap do you use on them? sorry but I will probably be full of questions for a while. I am so excited. Did you notice if nicole felt more comfertable with them, logan seems to hate his diapers so I'm hoping he likes these better | ||

sorry kaytee you already answered my soap question thanks though. by the way do they normally fit like a disposable? where do you get the aloe for the wipe solution, is it the same as the gel you would use for a sunburn? Last edited by fallon : 09-06-2007 at 08:34 AM. | ||

lol thats ok, its weird being the one to answer the dispaosable/ cloth diaper question as I was the newbie in my group. lol Yes I will answer again even though you have already seen it. Soak the poopy ones in cold water. Then when you want to wash a load, set the washing machine to hot with your deterent., then leave the lid open to let them soak like 30 minutes or so with all the diapers poopy and the wet ones. I use Tide free or Cheer Free. No perfumes or dyes is always best!!! Don't use dryer sheets in the dryer either. Wipe solution: just plain old dye free aloe. Its the clear one not hte green stuff, it has dyes in it. I use hot tap water (just let it run hot, I don't microwave it or anything. Fill your bottle or container up with the hot water. Add a squirt of aloe vera, and shake it up!!!! It will take a good shake but just a minutes worth, then add a squirt of baby shampoo (no perfumes or dyes again) I just use Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo, and a squirt of baby oil. The baby oil is to help get the poo off, makes it slippery. You only need a small squirt though. Here are a few recipees Baby Wash Recipe #1 * 2 TBSP Baby Wash * 2 TBSP Olive Oil * 2 Cups water Mix well in a spray bottle or your wipes box. Spritz on wipe before using if in spray bottle. Swish solution around over wipes if using a wipes box. Baby Wash Recipe #2 * 2 TBSP Baby Wash * 2 TBSP Olive Oil or 1 TBSP Calendula Oil * 2 Drops Tea Tree Oil * 2 Cups Water Mix well in a spray bottle or your wipes box. Spritz on wipe before using if in spray bottle. Swish solution around over wipes if using a wipes box. Tea Tree Oil has lovely disinfectant properties along with its wonderful, clean smell. Aloe Vera Recipe * 1/4 Cup Aloe Vera Gel * 2 Drops Tea Tree Oil * 2 Cups Hot Water Stir or shake until this recipe is well mixed. Don't use until the mixture cools. Spritz on wipe before using if in spray bottle. Swish solution around over wipes if using a wipes box. Vitamin E and Essential Oils Recipe * 2 Drops Tea Tree Oil * 2 Drops Lavender Oil * 2 Drops Chamomile Oil * 2 Cups Water * 1 Vitamin E Cap again nothing has to be exact.

lol!! its not so bad. I also will take the nasty poo ones and stick them in teh toilet and flush. The swil gets the poo off! lol You know they also make these thin paper liners that you put on the inside of the diaper. Then when they poop you just remove the liner! Heres a link to one kind, but there are tons out there! http://www.epinions.com/content_75179003524

thats great too! You will have no probelms!! You will be an old pro in a few days. The only thing that is bad (well good in my case) is that they have Ghetto booty!!!! lol my baby can actaully wear 9-12 month without them falling off. lol
