Check It Out!


If you are looking for a great one stop shop for all of your diapering needs, I have just the place. Green Mountain Diapers is a cloth diapering website that not only provides its customers with fabulous merchandise, but also incredible instruction on how to get started diapering with cloth.

It is well known throughout the cloth diapering community that Green Mountain's, "Cloth-eez" prefolds are far superior to any other prefold on the market. We have used these prefolds with the Bummis snap covers for our little one with great success and ease.

With each order, GMD will include a detailed instruction booklet for the laundering and care of your diapers. We laminated ours and keep it in the laundry room.

Here is what we have bought for our daughter who is now 18 months old:

2 dozen Cloth-eez® Newborn orange edge
2 dozen Cloth-eez® Yellow edge
2 dozen Cloth-eez® Red edge
3 Bummis Super Snap covers size newborn
3 Bummis Super Snap covers size small
4 Bummis Super Snap covers size medium (She will be in the mediums until potty training)
2 (12) packs of 2 sided wipes
2 bottles Kissaluvs Diaper Lotion Potion Concentrate (We have only used 1.5 bottles in 18 months)
1 small wet bag
1 large wet bag

To diaper as we have you will also need:

-A medium sized trash can with a lid
-two, 5 gallon buckets of Charlies Soap (We do ALL of our laundry with Charlie's and have barely made a dent in the 2nd bucket)
-a Prince Lionheart wipe warmer (Wal-mart carries these)

That's all, Folks!

I would be more than happy to private message the total of these purchases to anyone who may be interested.

A Few Of My Favorite Things (Diapering)




The good: I chose to begin with my most precious cleaning product, Charlie's Soap. We use the magic of Charlie's to clean all of our laundry and on occasion, the dog. We use cotton prefold cloth diapers on Cadence and have been so very pleased with the cleaning power and gentleness of this great product! Not only does it get the poop out, it has never given our highly sensitive baby girl a rash!

The bad: It doesn't get out every stain. We have had a few stubborn poop stains that just cling to the diaper, so we couple the Charlie's with Baby Oxy clean and lay the prefolds out for a good sunning periodically.

It's not the easiest to find. We buy ours at a local natural parenting store called Terra Tots, but many of you may not be so lucky to have a great local shop. Instead, you will need to go to Charlie's website to get yours. This website is full of all the nitty gritty info you may be looking for.

The ugly: Hey! There isn't any! It's a great affordable product that does it's job! You go Charlie! You go!
