Cloth Diapering

What do we need?

  • In addition to what PP's said, you may also want to find some cloth diaper safe cream. Any plant based oil is okay such as olive or coconut oil. You can also find cloth diaper safe creams on cloth diapering websites or Amazon. We use Cj's Butter or co

    Thanks everybody.  Yeah, it's been a bit overwhelming trying figure this out.  Almost completely put us off of the idea but we are trying to keep an open mind while weighing our options.
