Now on to the really fun stuff! You’ll need a few things other than diapers to get started.
Wetbag- Parents generally choose to store their soiled diapers in a wet bag or a wet/dry bag. Simply put the wet diaper in the waterproof wet bag and the mess is contained. If you are using pocket diapers many parents find that it is easier to pull out the insert before placing into the wetbag. It is usually necessary to have a travel sized wetbag for your dirty diapers when you are out and about.
Cloth Wipes- Using cloth wipes that can just be tossed in with your diaper laundry will save you even more money and are also great for the environment. When you’re on the go, try a spray bottle with water and a drop of baby wash—a great way to use cloth wipes at home or when you’re away!
Diaper Cream- Using regular diaper cream can damage your cloth diapers. Grandma El’s is a great cloth diaper safe cream and you can also use a disposable liner to act as a barrier between your diaper cream and your cloth diapers and protect your investment! However, babies who use cloth diapers have nearly zeor diaper rashes and if they do its often vax related.
Stuffers- If using pocket diapers, additional inserts can be stuffed in your diaper for heavy wetter’s or for nighttime and naps. Infant sized prefolds are the perfect solution, creating a diaper that will hold tons of wetness!
Poop Solutions- Most parents are concerned about how to handle poops. If you really have an aversion to the mess, disposable liners are the perfect solution. Simply toss in the toilet and flush the mess away!
Another option for poops is a diaper sprayer. Diaper Sprayers are perfect for rinsing out your messy diapers! However, you will not need either one of these options with a breastfed baby until they start soilds as before that time their poo is a breeze to deal with.
