BG 3.0 question

mynaturalbaby · April 2010

I bought a BG 3.0 dipe and got my free AIO the other day. Love the micro fleece inside and they fit DS perfectly! Question I have with the 3.0 is whether I can reuse it after DS pees in it? If so, what type of insert do I use? Does it have to be the BG microfleece or can I stuff it with something else?

Excuse my ignorance, I'm a pf and cover gal so this is all new to me!

I have several of these (haven't used them yet because baby isn't here). You can stuff it with whatever you want (mircrofleece, hemp, etc.) but you have to wash the whole thing after LO pees because the part that goes up against the baby's skin gets wet. You can stuff extra inserts/doublers in it for night time or heavy wetters. Hope that helps!

OK, got it. I was confused because it said "reusable" on the packing but it's really not.... If he can only wear it once, how many AIO's does it take to build up a stash?

Thanks

Definitely wash it after each use! The pee gets on the actual liner before it gets to the insert, so the whole thing is soiled.

You can stuff the pocket with whatever works for you. For us, it was the MF inserts until five months, then we switched to hemp. Right now we have the MF doubler and a little hemp insert for during the day and a babykicks prefold for at night. We never have leaks unless we go crazy long between changes.

It all depends on how often you are willing to do laundry. If you do it every day you could probably get by with about 15 diapers but if you want to wash every other day you'll need about 25-30. Just estimate changing your LO every two hours during the day and then depending on how long they sleep at night you calculate for that.

You are talking about the BG 3.0 one size diapers, right? Those aren't true AIOs, but pockets. The BG Organics are AIO-where the liner is attached to the actual dipe.

We have 37 of the 3.0 and I wash about every 3 days now that DS is a bit older. It used to be less time in between washes, 1-2 days. It really depends on how often you want to wash. I'd say try to get 24 at the least! Good luck with the BG's - we have both the One Size and the Organics and love them both!!

She said in her OP that she got the 3.0 and an AIO....they make other sized AIOs besides the Organic too.

Thanks ladies. I think I'm beginning to get it. OK, another question..... i usually use a liner in my PF's, can I do the same with the BG's or do I not need them?

I never use a liner, but then again I don't with my prefolds either. I've just found them to be a waste but if you like them you can certainly continue using them.

I would say it depends on why you're using a liner... is it to keep baby dry or for poop?

The BG diapers have a stay-dry liner in them, so you wouldn't need a liner on top of that. But... if you don't want it to get soiled, then I guess you can use another liner. Also, if you wanted to be safe with any diaper cream, you could use a liner.

Hope that helps!

I'm using the liner for poop. DS has been teething for months, (although STILL no teeth), but he destroys his diapers and the liner helps the pf's a lot.

I'll give it a shot tonight. Thanks!!

They are called "reusable" because you don't throw them away like sposies.

We use rice paper liners for poop (when we know/are expecting a poop, not in every dipe) and fleece liners if she is showing any rash or redness to help keep the moisture off her skin and the cream (even though its CDsafe) off the dipe.
