The BEST cloth diaper methods for EC 👶🏻 ADVICE, TIPS & COMPARISON

[@wholenesscampaign]

Wow that was so helpful 😮 I’m shook with the level of experience and info! This is someone that should have a KZbin channel🎉 I’m pregnant with my first baby and I’ve been trying to find an EASY to use, actually organic cotton cloth diaper to stash up. Im not a fan of the tucking concept (I have too many bras to stuff as it is and it drives me nuts) Am I correct in understanding that GroVia would be the best brand in that case? The wool cover with the cloth insert you mentioned at the end also looked interesting - do you have a brand recommendation for those?

Hi there! Congratulations on your baby! I’m sorry this reply is coming so late. Yes I have really loved my Grovia Organic AIOs. If you opt for the wool route, I can’t recommend the Babee Greens classic cover highly enough. We have also enjoyed Puppi and Lunapaca for daytime use only.

Thank you! Very helpful! I did EC w disposable backup for my firstborn (from 3 months), and looking into cloth diapers as backup for baby #2. I have had my eye on Esymbly brand - any thoughts on that one with EC? One of the reasons I didn’t consider cloth wirh my first is I hate the bulky bottoms of many cloth diapers, so a more trim, fitted diaper like that sounds good.

Thanks for sharing your insights! I love seeing more people share about natural fiber cloth diapers. I’m also a fan of side snapping diapers with stretchy side tabs. Great for EC. 💜 Heidi

Side snap diapers for the win! 😆❤️🤗

I did EC with my first baby. She did really well we caught almost all the poops since she was 6 months. The pees we didn’t get until 1 year and 10 months. After that it was smooth sailing and no more diapers since then, yay! However I have my second baby now and I am trying cloth diapers this time. He’s 4 months and we’re still working on learning what his signals for pooping are… So I have a question, how do you know when baby is peeing so you can offer the potty? I can’t tell when he’s peeing I don’t see any signal. Or do you just offer the potty like every hour during the day?

[@MeaningfulMothering]

I just focused on transition times instead of trying to read cues: diaper changes, wake ups, after meals, and anytime she got out of something like a stroller, carrier, carseat etc. That’s great you had success with your first! I hope you find a good rhythm with your second too! ❤️

[@MelihimeGold]

@@MeaningfulMothering okay thank you that’s great advice. I’ll definitely be trying that then :)

Loved this video! We're currently ECing a newborn and using cloth diapers and it was useful to see how things might change :)

[@MeaningfulMothering]

Thank you! Congratulations on your baby!!

Hi! Have you tried cloth pull ups? Like Bebeboo Grow, Kinder Cloth Diaper Co Trainers,Monarch Pull Ups,etc? they're natural fibre lining pull-ups with pocket! 😍

[@MeaningfulMothering]

I haven’t! I’ve heard about them but never tried.

[@elizabethroseart]

What's EC stand for? This is a new term I've not heard before 🙂

[@MeaningfulMothering]

Elimination communication - it’s basically early infant potty learning. 😃

We haven’t started the ec yet but so cloth diapers. Would love to learn more about your experience. This was great ❤

[@MeaningfulMothering]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@abmrose]

Very helpful, thank you

[@elizabethroseart]

Also, what did you use when your baby was a newborn? Was there a particular style that worked best for you?

[@MeaningfulMothering]

I started cloth between 3-4 months. For the next baby I plan to use a lot of prefolds in the newborn stage I think - easy to launder but you can contain all the runny poop pretty easily easily.

Petite Crown Trima is also a natural pocket 😊

[@MeaningfulMothering]

Yay! Thank you!
