5 Tips to Make Your Diapers Last Longer

5 Tips to Make Your Diapers Last Longer
One of the most enticing elements of cloth diapering is the ability to reuse them for multiple children but will they really last for more than 2-3 years?  The answer to that question depends on many factors.  Here are some tips to ensure your diapers last you for multiple babies. 5 Tips to Make Your Diapers Last Longer Quantity Matters - while the average starter stash is 15-24 diapers many parents keep adding to their stash over the first year.  The more diapers you have in your stash the less you'll have to wash each diaper.  Just like your favorite pair of jeans, the more you wash a cloth diaper the faster it will wear out. Quality (sometimes) Matters - the price range of cloth diapers vary greatly...

Cloth Diapers in Day Care

Cloth Diapers in Day Care
Are you concerned that your day care provider won't accept cloth diapers?  These days more and more day care centers are flexible and willing to try cloth diapers.  If you find a stubborn provider who tries to tell you that it's against the law for them to use cloth diapers you may want to refer to the National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care's database.  They list the regulations for each state and you'll be happy to know that it's not against the law (for most states). The Real Diaper Association has a database of cloth diaper friendly day care centers.  If you are looking for a day care in your area you may want to start your search here.  If you have a cloth diaper friendly day care,...

5 Easy Ways to Reduce Your Waste at Home

5 Easy Ways to Reduce Your Waste at Home
When most people think of cloth diapers they probably assume that it's something that only crunchy, treehuggers do.  In our 1st Annual Cloth Diapering Pulse Survey it was surprising to find that 52% of parents surveyed (sample size 500) decided to use cloth diapers primarily for the cost savings.  Only 22% of those parents actually said that being more eco-friendly was their primary reason for using cloth diapers. We regularly ask questions on our Facebook wall to find out what the habits of our customers are and a lot of parents explain that because they use cloth diaper they have found themselves being more open to other eco-friendly parenting styles. 5 Easy Ways to Reduce Your Waste at Home Cloth wipes...
