I was interested in trying cloth diapering, but totally overwhelmed with where to start. Too much research left me super confused and worried about all that could go wrong. I decided once I got going I'd leave a long review to help other newbies out.
Diaper lingo is so confusing and there are so many options and so many brands, and can we talk about how ugly most of them are? I mean seriously ugly! But then I stumbled on Nora's Nursery...THESE PRINTS!! Call me shallow, but I definitely jumped in for the adorable designs and amazing price. I was stuck for a month deciding between Nora's Nursery and Mama Koala (who seemed comparable). Nora's Nursery has the CUTEST cloth diapers you will find, hands down. Mama Koala is like playing a game of when the prints you want will be back in stock. I don't have time for that. Every time I checked Nora's Nursery on amazon or their website for the prints I wanted, they were available.
I bought just four of Nora's Nursery to start with to try it for a day, see if I could handle the poop situation, and how the absorption is, and learning a wash routine. Guys... it's easy peasy!
Poop. Get a bucket, take your dirty diaper to your utility sink, spray that sucker off into the bucket, leave the diaper soak in oxiclean, and dump the nasty water into the toilet. It's not even gross.
Absorption. Everyone talks about their kid being a"heavy wetter" . I thought my baby was... she blows through those dumb disposables so fast! Well these bamboo inserts are amazing! I haven't had any leaks yet, and I promise you I had leaks with disposables all the time.
Wash routine. Nora's Nursery literally sends you a mini manual on how to care for your cloth diapers. Very helpful. Just pre rinse on cold, wash on warm/hot with a good detergent, and rinse again if needed. You can even throw a load of clothes in to save energy (on the wash cycle, not pre rinse). To extend the life of your diapers it's recommended to not use vinegar in your wash routine as it wears your diapers out faster, and to line dry in the sun as much as possible. As a bonus the sun helps remove stains. :) Personally, I dry the inserts with a load of clothes, and hang the covers.
Extras. Nora's Nursery has a blog with helpful information as well as a facebook page. I've already messaged them to ask dumb questions, and they've been very helpful and quick to reply. Their customer service is great!
If you're thinking about cloth diapering, don't be overwhelmed. Just do it! I promise you'll love this brand, but if nothing else your baby will look adorable. :)
