My Diaper Changing Procedures ... lol

I really like using cloth diapers. They get some bad reviews by some cloth diapering mommas but they work great for us and are too cute! They are very trim when used with a gCloth insert. They are a little bulky when we use prefolds in them, but that is normally only at night so it’s fine for us. A cool website is www.joyfulabode.com she has a series on gDiapers called gWhiz that is really neat. She goes into detail about her diaper changing station and laundry procedures and all that jazz. I love going places and having discussions with other moms and dropping the bombshell that we use cloth diapers. It inspires some very fun discussions. I like want to turn everybody on to them, not because I want to save the planet or anything (it will be destroyed) but in the long run, it will be saving us so much money considering that they will last through many children. At the beginning it is expensive to get started and if you don’t watch yourself you can become addicted and spend more on buying cute prints or colors that you spend more than if you would have on disposables. But I guess there are worse things to be addicted to. Lol. J Okay so when she has a poopy diaper I take it off and spray some wipe cleaner on a cloth wipe and clean her up put that diaper to the side and put an insert into a new gPant and gPouch and put it on her. I snap the pouch out and take it to the bathroom. If the gPant didn’t get anything on it, I hang it on her clothes hamper to air out. I go into the bathroom and turn the cold water on in the shower and rinse out the poopy pouch and insert. I scrub them against themselves to get most of the excess off and then wring it out and toss it in the diaper pail I have in there. And the gPouch goes in the lingerie bag that I have tucked under the lip of the diaper pail. I just started rinsing them on Sunday and it is a huge improvement in the stinky area. J  I hope to get a good detachable shower head or toilet sprayer one of these days. It is working right now just using the tub since she is exclusively breastfed but once we introduce solids I imagine her poo will get more form so I will have to have some force behind the water to be able to get it to come off. I think it is so funny that people are so grossed out by washing dirty diapers. I mean you have to change poopy diapers when you use disposables too. And you have A LOT more blowouts when you use disposables than when you use cloth. We hardly ever have poo get on the gPant. Sometimes we get a leak from too much pee, but that is normally at night when I haven’t changed her in a while.
