Traveling And Using Cloth Diapers
Cloth diapers might seem like a step back in time but in reality we need to become
more conscious of our environment and this is one step parents can take to start the process and ensure our next generations have a place left to move forward.Choosing the type of diaper was the most difficult part as a soon-to-be new mother. There are prefolds, fitted diapers, covers, one-size diapers, pocket diapers and all-in-ones. Where to begin? Fortunately, I had the time to research and read tons of product reviews and chose the solution that was rated most highly by other parents. However, you need to choose a diaper based on your needs.
I knew I needed a diaper that was versatile and easy to use, so I chose a one-size cloth diaper. It was the most most user-friendly not only for me, but also for the friends, family members and potential daycare providers that could take over without being confused by the cloth diapering process. After all, my goal was to keep my baby in cloth 100% of the time. If my cloth diaper system was confusing for others, it would have been more difficult to be successful.
I highly recommend getting a cloth diaper wet bag. These waterproof zippered bags look great and do a great job of containing diaper odors. A regular size bag will typically hold 3-6 diapers and a larger bag typically holds 5-8 diapers. Just empty the bag into the washer and wash it along with the diapers when you get home. What about wipes?
The one size fits all style cloth diapers are designed to be the the one and only cloth diaper you will need. They can come in all in one or pocket style and have a great amount of adjust-ability to fit children from newborn to toddler. The downside to this style of diaper is that no matter what the manufacturer says there is simply no way one size can fit all. The amount of liquid a newborn produces is clearly different than that of a toddler.
If you plan to be gone for more than a day or two, you will want to either bring along some extra diapers or plan to do a wash load while you are away. Since modern cloth diapers wash and dry quickly, you can run a load in a short amount of time. If you are staying somewhere where there is a washer and dryer, doing a quick load of laundry is no big deal. If you won't have access to a washer, another good option is to purchase some inexpensive flat diapers to allow you to have extras or to allow for handwashing, such as at a camp site. Simply wash and hang dry any wet diapers and save the messy ones for washing when you get home.
Cloth diapering saves you money at home and on the road, and it is easy on the environment. Sure, you do need to bring the diapers home with you, but is it really the right thing to do to leave dirty diapers wherever you visit? Cloth diapering on the road can also be a laundry saver. Most parents tell me they have fewer diaper leaks once they start using good cloth diapers.
