  • 7 Days of Diapers: bumGenius 3.0 for Your Lil Genius

    If you're going the cloth diaper route, one way to cut down on cost is to choose a diaper that doesn't come in sizes. The bumGenius 3.0 is a one-size pocket diaper designed to grow with your kid, fitting babies as little as 7 pounds and up to 35. The bumGenius is about convenience. The front...

  • 7 Days off Diapers: Cloth and Chlorine Free

    I'm going to cheat a little today and post about two diapers worth checking out. The first is from Bumkins. I tip my hat to them for making their diapers fun--in the form of colorful covers (six-pack of your choice of fabric is $90) that are completely waterproof, utilize velcro, and don't have...

  • Cloth Diapers: A How-To Guide

    By the time the average baby joins the ranks of the potty trained (at about 30 months), he will have soiled approximately 6,700 diapers . If the diapers are of the disposable variety, this will set his parents back about $2,400. Washing cloth diapers is not cheap, but it’s certainly a lot cheaper than...

  • Diaper Butt

    We decided to do the cloth diaper thing. Our diaper service dropped off the first batch of 70 cloth prefolds the Wednesday before Axel arrived, along with the plastic covers we'd ordered. Then, we brought Axel home, and found that the tiny butt on his 6lb 6 oz body didn't even come close to filling...

  • Baby Gas: Diapers Could Fuel the World

    We used disposable diapers on both our girls and because of this choice we will rot in hell. Unlike those diapers. They'll just sit there in a landfill. I am not one of those disposable diaper users who defends the practice. I think they are a terrible choice. But things for future users of disposables...

  • Help! Half of The Beatles Rolling in Their Graves

    I've always thought of The Beatles as being a bit greener than most. Sure, they've left their share of carbon here and there, but they liked flowers and hated war. They were quite adamant that all we needed was love. Now, fans are upset that the song, "All You Need is Love" has been...

  • Dave Matthews Goes Green(er)

    Dave Matthews is going a tad greener in regard to his new son, August , and his dirty diaper habit. Matthews told People magazine , "We use cloth diapers for our new baby because I think diapers might be the No. 3 piece of garbage." I don't know what number they are either Dave, but you're taking a step...

  • Cranky Pants Covers for Cloth Diapers

    Disclaimer #1: I cloth diapered all of my kids. Disclaimer #2: I am especially partial to wool diaper covers. I've never EVER seen any as cute as these, though! Wool as a diaper cover sounds like a strange concept. It seems as if wool pants should be hot and leaky. But wool is breatheable and will absorb...

  • Throwing Out The Baby

    I recently heard that phrase used on the radio in reference to some kind of mistake we were making over in Iraq - "throwing out the baby with the bathwater". I hadn't really thought about that saying since becoming a parent. Now I give my baby baths like the one pictured above, and I personally wouldn...
