My recommendations on starting your stash.
I started with it in mind that I wanted to save money by cloth diapering my child. So I started with ordering 12 bumGeniuse Diapers. They are one size that work from birth till potty training and are still the workhorse of my stash. One size like the BG’s or Happy Heinys are the way to go or the Duo Thirsties pocket to start out if you are wanting something easy breezy.The reason I like the pocket one size is because they dry faster than the all in ones and you can add hemp to the stuffing so that you have complete control over how absorbent your diaper is.
I also recommend having 12 prefolds and 2-3 covers. These will save you when you have diaper rash issues or run out of your pockets. I fell in love with these while O was still not mobile and I had fun making them fit just right with using a snappy (another must in the first stash). Child can also go cover less during the summer and looks super cute just wearing a cloth diaper. This is good for baby’s skin to be able to breath well. When I started using prefolds I got started making my own wool covers and longies. This ended up becoming an addiction and will post better about that later. You can now get nice one size covers as well so you only need 2-3 for the whole diapering experience.
I started just using a plastic bag in my diaper bin and then got a nice PUL liner later when we had the extra money.
A travel sized PUL wet bag for your diaper bag is a must if you plan on leaving the house ever and your child is in cloth. These are not expensive and are well worth it because they are not only good for wet diapers and so forth but also for those times where a child gets sick all over him or herself and you have to change their clothes and don’t want to just put the clothes in the diaperbag to make it smell horrible.
I hope that is of some help to you newbies out there. This is the most cost effective and easiest cloth diapering route.

We are starting this blog off with a bang by doing a give away.
We are happy to have been in business for a little over a year now. We started in August of 2008 and have been going strong since then. There have been some changes in the site and since I’ve been in Grad school I have not been adding much to the site the last few months. We are now expecting an addition to the family and he is due at the end of Jan. 2010. After that I will be working full time only on the site and nothing else so we will update our products. Looking forward to cloth diaper this child from the very beginning. My oldest son didn’t start in cloth. We started with disposables and then went to cloth at 2 months and just fell in love with it. I knew that I had to start my own business and used my maternity pay to start out. It was a great decision and I have never regretted it.
We are doing this pre holiday giveaway to show my customers and newcomers how thankful we are for them and their interest.
First prize will be 2 Happy Heiny Print diapers (I will let the person pick from what I have in stock since these are sized)
Second prize will be 1 happy hempy insert in the size of choice
Third prize will be 1 small wet bag to keep in diaper bag.
To win these prizes you will need to leave a comment about our sales site. I need some helpful feedback to help make it better. Let me know if you would rather use the site if you could pay directly with a credit card on the site instead of through paypal and, well, if you just think something is missing in our inventory or on the site. All feedback is good feedback. I will choose by throwing the names into a hat and choosing one for each prize. The drawing will be on the 21st and I will need peoples addresses there soon after so that I can ship these prizes before the 24th of December.
If you live out of the country you will have to pay for shipping but all orders in the USA will be shipped for free.
Our next giveaway will be after the baby is born and will be to celebrate his birth. Hope you keep posted.
For you that are shopping, get 10% off of your purchase by using the code: newblog
This discount code will be good till the 21st of Dec.
Thank you for your participation!
