All natural mamas

zmombie

due to money, I wasn't able to be 100% natural with my older two. Diapers are cheaper then cloth, baby foods are cheaper then doing it yourself ect. But my baby is almost 3 months old now, I recently got a good job, I'm switching to everything natural. What is the best cloth diapers? Best food processor?
Any opinions or advice from other natural moms?

Best food processor by far is Vitamix. I love mine, can't wait to do some purées in a few months! It has a crazy strong motor which makes all the difference when it comes to how smoothly it blends. Also great for protein smoothies in the morning.

I've tried three brands of cloth cover: bum genius, thirsties, and rumparooz. Bum genius collects poop, we don't like those covers. Thirsties are great but you have to buy new ones when baby grows past 18lbs. Rumparooz a are awesome!!! Such high quality, I know they will last for years. We've never had a blowout. I hear that the Blueberry brand covers are very similar to Rumparooz.
For the diapers themselves, we use two kinds : Ozcosy cotton prefolds with a snappie. These catch everything -- all the poop. Buy cotton prefolds because after time, a microfiber diaper will smell. The other diaper we use is made of bamboo filled with charcoal. We use these after baby has pooped, when we know she only has to pee. These charcoal filed liners wick pee to the center like synthetic diapers do. You will be amazed at how many cups (that's right - cups!!) of pee they will hold. You may have trouble even knowing that the diaper is wet.

I bought all of my supplies from Amazon.

You will want to buy a cloth diaper sprayer. It takes me about 15 minutes each day to wash the diapers in the toilet and throw them in the wash.
I also have wet/dry bags for my diaper bag.

I've found cloth diapers to be as easy as disposable. We plan to have more kids, so the upfront expense is definitely worth the savings!!!

We bought a Cuisine Art food processor to make baby food. Haven't used it for that purpose yet, but it makes chopping veggies and making cookies a breeze!

I really like my Clotheez Workhorse diapers with Flip covers. I also enjoy using my homemade cloth wipes from organic cotton. Dr.Bronners Baby Mild is a great baby soap.
