Whether you’re new to cloth diapering or looking to switch from disposables, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know.
Benefits of Cloth Diapering
Environmental Impact: Cloth diapers significantly reduce waste compared to disposables. By choosing reusable diapers, you’re helping to minimize landfill waste and your carbon footprint.
Health Benefits: Our cloth diapers are made from soft, breathable materials that reduce the risk of diaper rash and irritation, ensuring your baby stays comfortable and happy.
Cost Savings: While the initial investment in cloth diapers may seem higher, you’ll save money in the long run. Cloth diapers are reusable, which means you won’t need to keep buying disposables.
Stylish and Customizable: With a variety of designs and adjustable sizes, you can find the perfect fit and look for your baby. Explore our stylish Maison Des BéBé cloth diaper collection.
Getting Started with Cloth Diapering
Types of Cloth Diapers: There are several types of cloth diapers to choose from, including prefolds, all-in-ones, and pocket diapers. Each type offers different benefits.
Choosing the Right Diaper: Choosing the right cloth diaper for your baby involves considering factors such as fit, material, and absorbency. Look for diapers that offer a snug, adjustable fit to prevent leaks and ensure comfort. Opt for high-quality, soft fabrics like cotton or bamboo, which are gentle on your baby’s skin and provide excellent absorbency. Consider features like waterproof covers and easy-to-use snaps or Velcro closures for convenience. With the right cloth diaper, you can ensure your baby stays dry, comfortable, and happy while also making an eco-friendly choice.
Maison Des BéBé Newborn diapers features a unique soft, velvet-like cover and waterproof material, providing ultimate comfort and protection. This feature is perfect for soft, quick changes for a newborn.
How Many Diapers You Need: Newborns typically need to be changed every 2-3 hours, which can amount to 10-12 diaper changes per day. I always washed my cloth diapers daily, which mean having a mixture of 12-15 diapers and inserts to use. You may choose to keep more on hand if washing frequency varies. As your baby grows, you may need fewer.
How to Use Cloth Diapers
Step-by-Step Guide: Putting on a cloth diaper is easy! Simply follow these steps:
Lay the diaper flat and place your baby on top.
Adjust the fit around the waist and legs using the snaps or Velcro.
Ensure the diaper is snug but not too tight.
Tips for a Secure and Comfortable Fit: Our diapers come with adjustable snaps to grow with your baby. We offer fits from newborn to toddler.
Washing and Caring for Cloth Diapers
Cleaning Routine:
Pre-wash: Rinse diapers to remove solids.
Main wash: Use a gentle, cloth diaper-safe detergent.
Dry: Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Common Mistakes to Avoid: To protect the waterproof material and maintain softness, avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
Recommended Detergents and Products: We recommend using Tide Free and Gentle Liquid detergent for your cloth diapers. I know that is not all natural, but it gets the job done while still gentle on baby's skin. You are welcome to use your favorite gentle detergent, we won't be offended!
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Dealing with Leaks: Ensure a proper fit and check the absorbency. Adding an extra insert can help. Blowouts may happen, but the extra inserts snuggly fit in the upper back of the diaper will help!
Addressing Odor: Regular deep cleaning and stripping can help. When washing, always separate the inserts and diapers for a full clean.
Handling Stains: Sunlight is a natural stain remover! For stubborn stains, use Dreft laundry stain remover.
We hope this guide helps you on your cloth diapering journey. By choosing Maison Des BéBé, you’re making a positive impact on the environment and providing the best care for your baby.
