so I know that Shannon you have talked about it before and a few others... but what is the new name for the wildflower store? I can not remember for the life of me and my coworker was asking me today and I went blank. Thank you
ETA: also what are some other places/stores/websites on which you ladies get cloth diaper... thanks again...
Re: Cloth Diaper Store...
they're now called http://www.zoolikins.com/ but don't have nearly the inventory that they had at the other store. she said she was expecting to get more stuff though.
my favorite site is momsmilkboutique.com, abbyslane.com and sewcraftybaby.com. they all have free shipping and coupon codes. are you buying me some diapers??!!
I like Abby's Lane because of the free shipping. On smaller orders you can really save money. Though I'm frugal (read: cheap) so I love Spot's Corner on Hyena Cart (they're used though sometimes you can get new diapers, too). I don't have a baby yet, but my sick obsession with cloth diapers has led me to have a full supply already (and then some). Of course, getting them as review items (I use them with my nephew, too) and from friends who's kids have potty trained have helped.
As for wipes, well, this is a great store. She's out of stock right now but I hear that as soon as she stops being lazy and get's off the couch and actually starts sewing again she'll have some new designs. Hehe. Look at the sales for examples.
personally we use regular wipes, the Lansinoh brand for breastfed babies. They aren't very expensive and I rip them in half when I use them, unless I need a full one for a poopy diaper.
so do they sell that brand everywhere? what is the difference between those and like the huggies brand? and there are different types of whipe for breasfed ot formula fed babies?
i like nickis a lot, i use their imagine prefolds and love them. i just don't like that i have to pay for shipping lol (if i'm not spending $75+), i'm super cheap. but i sucked it up for their pf's because i them
No there aren't usually different types of wipes, but BF baby poop can be a little more acidic so these have lanolin in them (the same thing you put on your nipples to heal them).
We tried huggies but they made Lucy's bottom red, so we switched to these and they are so gentle that it is all we use.
They just don't have any chemicals in them.
Awesome! Thank you ladies
That is really cool they make wipes like that, for those little baby bums that are sensitive...
I use all cloth in my home. They are cheaper. You pay, say, $30 in the beginning and then you never have to buy wipes again! Then you can buy larger wipes (unPaper Towels) or a few more sets of wipes that you use for non-potty issues (like cleaning little baby faces, messes, even scrubbing dishes and counter tops!).
I also like them because you can control what you soak your wipes in. There's a great recipe for an essential oils cloth wipe formula out there that smells FANTASTIC! Anyway, in my opinion, anywhere you can control the amount of chemicals your baby comes in contact with is one less chemical your baby has to deal with. Read the label on wipes (if they even have to list this stuff) and look up what each ingredient is and decide for yourself.
My sister makes customized cloth diapers. She doesn't have a lot of listings on her site, but can make them up quick it requested! Of course I am biased but they are all super cute:)
