DIY Diaper Sprayer Tutorial

This is the tutorial we used about a year ago when saw the need for a diaper sprayer.  Marty is a pretty handy guy, so he picked up the parts and had our sprayer installed in no time.  We've since moved and the sprayer came with us and still works perfectly.

If you want everything you need without having to sort through plumbing parts, you can buy a kit like this.

Angel Wing Fold (Prefold)

This was the easiest fold for us when Jack was tiny.  I'm not sure there is a fold out there that will absolutely positively contain breastfed newborn poop, but this fold did a decent job.  This is actually me and Jack when he was about 12 months.





I hope that makes putting a prefold on a baby a little less intimidating.  Just don't forget the cover.  :-)

Are you considering cloth?

There is so much information available on the internet about anything and everything.  There are numerous blogs, forums, and articles about cloth diapers and cloth versus disposables.  I have found the Real Diaper Association's website the most helpful for finding facts about why to choose cloth over disposables.  You'll find links to diaper services, daycares that accept cloth diapers, and even testimonials on the site.

My goal with this blog is to point you in the right direction for information and to share my own personal experiences with cloth diapers.  I can even show you how to sew your own cloth diapers!  I use patterns I purchased online, but there are a number of free patterns available online.  I've learned some shortcuts along the way that I am happy to share.
