Flat Cloth Diapers – Everything You Wanted to Know

Why Flats? Each year we recognize a cloth diaper from years past, the flat!  Flats are sometimes referred to as your Grandma’s cloth diaper because mothers used to cut flour sacks into large pieces of fabric to use for clothing and diapers for their children.  Today most store bought flat diapers are 100% birdseye cotton but can also be made of hemp or bamboo.  Flats don’t have to be store bought though, they can be made from any piece of absorbent fabric including bed sheets, t-shirts, and kitchen towels.

Diaper Rashes and Cloth Diapers

Diaper rashes are much less common for parents who use cloth diapers but they can still happen.  In order to know how to best clear up the rash, you must narrow down the cause of the rash.  Why did your baby get a rash to begin with? Common causes of diaper rash: Teething.  When a baby is teething they produce an abundance of saliva.  You will notice excess drool, wet shirts, and fussiness when your baby is teething but that excess saliva is also ingested and can lead to diaper rash.  Changing your baby more frequently and using a cloth diaper safe ointment may help reduce the chances of diaper rash.  Naked time can help with this type of diaper rash as well. Illness and medication.  If your...
