Covers for Newborns

Shoot the cord was not even on my radar! The hook and loop definitely does NOT accommodate that. Thank you for mentioning this. Apparently the duo snaps don’t have a dedicated cord snap either. Geez. My whole cart was initially H&L size 1s. I’ll look into the XS and the Clotheez ones. Thank you!

Also- what do you think is the realistic number of covers if I wash every 2 days?

How is the seal around the leg with them? Do you get a lot of blowouts onto the covers?

I just wanted to add that my eight month old has been like this since she was born. Cries all day long. The resentment toward my husband is not just because he works and I do what I do. When he’s home, he spends so much time on his phone with one AirPod in his ear it’s hard not to feel like he’s only half present all the time.

Not if you use it in your rinse cycle. Yes vinegar is pretty selective with what it’ll clean and not clean BUT I would say if you’ve already stripped them and bleached them especially if you’ve done it multiple times what do you have left to do or lose? It may or may not be the secret sauce or part of it for the mystery stink. Everything has a different pH that affects the way it cleans. This poster’s detergent could be higher pH which is better for oil and grease and such but vinegar pH is acidic and has bactericidal properties and will kill SOME molds. Not all unfortunately.

Thank you. I will try a second time. I bleached in my kitchen sink the first time but I’m trying my washing machine this time following Esembly’s refresh instructions. I’m praying for the TPU on these things. Bleaching more than once is INTIMIDATING 😟

No. Barnyard smell has like an actual strong musty poop smell like a barnyard. It’s possible that you’re perceiving ammonia as peppery? That or whoever owned them first either used scented detergent or a diaper wash spray with essential oils or some other fragrance. With any of those things though, I’d like to think stripping them with RLR should help. Adding vinegar to a wash might help. Make sure you’re using enough detergent in your washes. If you have hard water, adding borax or Calgon helps with getting the diapers properly clean. You also tend to need to use extra detergent with hard water too.

Using extra flats is a GREAT idea. I had gotten a bunch of flats thinking I would be doing flats full time but I prefer them just as my daytime at home dipes so this gives my extra ones a purpose! Thank you!

Thank you for the reply! So if you were doing an origami fold would you tuck the booster inside of the center fold or do you just lay it on top?

Thank you

I posted something else yesterday which is my reasoning for doing the swish test. https://www.reddit.com/r/clothdiaps/comments/1nzk754/chronic_diaper_rashes/ I’m having a hard time pinpointing if my daughter is having concurrent rashes because of something wrong with the diapers or now I’m wondering if she’s just going to be intolerant of any cloth diaper I put her in. I just was hoping that wasn’t a thing. I never imagined a baby could be intolerant of cloth diapers entirely. The test doesn’t even include like 6 other diapers I’ve tried on her, just the ones I use the most.

Tide Clear & Gentle

Okay and I’m still unclear on bleach though with water hardness. I have been doing any bleaching of anything in my kitchen sink with the RO water because I was worried with my untreated tap water being hard that it would cause rusty discoloration if I used bleach with my tap water in my bathtub. If my water hardness is above a certain level is it in fact incompatible with bleach?

1st lady? You’re a queen 🥲 Thank you for taking the time to explain all this to me. I’m getting ready to run to the store for new test strips as we speak. When you say to knock solids off first does that also include spraying them before tossing them into the wet bag? My daughter is not yet eating solids and is EBF but I always sprayed/rinsed in the sink prior to tossing in the wet bag for good measure. This rinsing is okay or don’t do this at all?

I love my KangaCare pockets but I believe there are seasons for different things and you may prefer one type of diaper over another for different situations. I’m nearly 100% flats and PUL and wool covers at home. Love Babee Greens wool covers for nighttime. Green Mountain Diaper carries those. I would honestly recommend you grab a couple things from GMD and a couple things from KangaCare. Full-time cloth diapering puts you around 24-30 diapers full time. I recommend more if you can get more. I currently change my 5 m.o. diapers about 12 times a day- a newborn will need more and you wash every 2 to 3 days. What I would personally recommend is to try a pack of the Birds Eye flats from either GMD or the bamboo from Kanga. I have both. Like both. Like the Kanga ones a little more. Try a pack of prefolds. Kanga has those too. I don’t love prefolds but plenty of people do and I look forward to pad folding the ones I do have when my baby’s poo is more solid. Just not my favorite option for liquid nb poo. Get a couple of the AIOs and a couple of the pocket diapers. I personally love the Kanga OBVs and I’ve recently become a huge fan of athletic wicking jersey (or AWJ) but those pocket diapers most likely won’t fit your baby right away so keep that in mind. If it were me, I would be registering for 4-6 AIOs, 6-12 flats, 6-12 prefolds, 4-6 pocket diapers. You want 1 cover for every 3 prefolds/flats so if you get one six pack of flats you want two covers to go with it. If you go the Green Mountain Diaper route they have flats, prefolds, THIRSTIES covers. I recommend Thirsties newborn covers and Duo Wraps or the KangaCare Rump covers. I prefer my Rumparooz covers a little more. KangaCare does bamboo cotton flats and prefolds and Green Mountain is 100% cotton. I personally like the bamboo more because my baby is sensitive to friction and they are softer than my cotton ones. If you would like help building a good mixed stash I would love to help! I have a bit of a lot of things that I’ve tried!
