- Why cloth? They are much cheaper over the lifetime of your child. They are much softer on baby. Way cuter! I believe they are environmentally more friendly. Read more on the great diaper debate here.
- How many Diapers do I need? Ideally you want to plan to change your baby every 2 hours that they are awake, or when wet or soiled. This usually is about 8-10 diapers a day. 24-30 diapers is an ideal amount for washing every other day. I find myself washing between 17-27 in a load which is about every other day somtimes the third day.
- How do I care for my cloth diapers? You will receive a sheet of instructions with your order. The key to cloth is to use soaps that do not leave a residue such as Allen's Naturally or Charlies . Never use Fabric softeners - they will basically make your diapers waterresistant - not what you want!
- How much is shipping? If you are not local to the Colorado Springs area, I will charge actual shipping charges for priority mail. I also charge a small fee approx $1 I will round this with the shipping cost -
- How can I pay? Cash is preferred for local sales. I will accept paypal - exisiting funds preferred.
- Do I need a Cover for R Bums? Yes, you need a waterproof cover for these style of diapers. there are many styles from PUL (polyurethane laminated) to fleece to wool. Some that snap, velcro or pull on. In a pinch you can also have your infant wear fleece pants. You can also use the gerber vinyl pants but they are very noisy and crinkly and do not breathe so you are more prone to diaper rashes. I personally prefer sized covers with leg gussests, I feel they fit better and contain the messes.
- Where can I get Covers? There are many places available online. I can recommend a few of my favorite sites. I personally get mine from Baby Cotton Bottoms and they are local to Colorado Springs so you don't have to pay shipping! Even if you order they have a flat $5 shipping fee.
Colorado Springs Coth Diaper Stores! How awesome to have 2 here!
