Cloth diapering favorites we actually use and love 🤍 I prioritize natural fibers like organic cotton, but I also use microfiber inserts when they make sense for our routine. And on days when cloth just isn’t doable, we reach for eco-conscious dispos...

I’ve used cloth diapers daily and tested what actually works (and what doesn’t). If you’re overwhelmed, this is the exact setup I use that made cloth diapering simple and doable. No fluff — just real products that held up through daily use, leaks, an...

We like these pocket diapers from Nora's  Nursery as well! They are one size fits most – good once baby is about 3-4 months, not for newborn! You can also double line them  for nighttime!

Nora's Nursery has great bundles! These are a pocket diaper style. I double line these  for night time diapers! The fit on these works really well for us — especially during that awkward in-between sizing stage.

This is the changing pad I use daily — it’s organic, nontoxic, and super easy to wipe clean, which makes diaper changes way less stressful. I love having a safe, low-tox surface for my baby, especially since it gets used multiple times a day.

I rotate between a few different patterns of these, and they’re all just as good — lightweight, gentle on baby’s skin, and super easy to swap out when things get messy. A simple way to keep your changing station feeling fresh and functional.

These cotton muslin changing pad covers are one of my favorite little upgrades — they’re soft, breathable, and actually hold up really well with frequent washes. Plus, they make the whole changing setup feel a lot cuter without sacrificing function.

We mostly use this pail when we do disposables since we do cloth diaper laundry daily – but definitely still nice to have in the nursery! Not 100% necessary, but this made things a lot easier for me.

I know everyone says you don't need a wipe warmer, but if you make your own wet wipes it is a must because it also becomes the container and dispenser for the wipes. I fold the cloth wipes in a way that they come out continuously and use a wipe conce...

Our go-to for homemade baby wipes! These are a flannel material – no plastics! There  will  be some fuzz the first few washes but after that they are  golden! You definitely don’t need a huge stash — two packs of these is what actually worked for me.

The best wipes concentrate I use for homemade baby wipes! Simply add about a tablespoon of this to 2 cups of water and fill  up a dispenser with the folded cloths  already in it. A really helpful add-on if you want to make your wipes more than just water.

Cleaning

When your baby is exclusively on breastmilk or formula, cloth diapering is super simple — everything can go straight into the wash, no extra steps needed. Once solids are introduced, things change a bit — and that’s where tools like a spray bidet and...

A spray shield for cloth diapering once solids are SOLID! You place this over the toilet, clip the  soiled diaper, and spray into the toilet.  One of those behind-the-scenes essentials that actually matters.

Add a spray bidet to the bathroom closest to the baby's room! Once baby's poop is solid, use the sprayer and spray solids into toilet. This helped simplify the messier parts of cloth diapering. I didn't start with it, but once baby was eating more so... it was necessary
