What works for you Wednesday?

Saw this on a blog I follow and had to post about it:

Every Wednesday come join us in our "What works for you Wednesdays!?!"!!! I will highlight a topic to discuss, you blog about it, and come back and link up! Please be sure to add the logo and hyperlink it to Home Grown Families! I am looking forward to learning more about the blogging families out there!

This weeks topic: Cloth Diapers!!!

Do you use cloth 24:7?
Nope. We use disposables at night, but once those are out I won't be buying any more.

Do you use disposable wipes or cloth wipes? If cloth, what is your solution recipe?
Both, disposable when we are out and cloth at home. We just wet them with water as needed
.

Do you scrap or spray?
Nothing right now. Breastfed baby poop comes out easily in the wash so there is no need to dunk or spray or scrape. I am not looking forward to that haha.

What is your wash routine?
I think I finally found what works for us and keeps the stinkies away.
First I do a cold rinse. Then its a HOT wash with a scoop of my homemade detergent and a half scoop of oxy clean. Then another warm or hot wash with no soap. No stinkies! yay!

What style of diapers do you like best?
Pockets! We own a large variety of diapers. But most of them are pocket diapers from fuzzi bunz and bum genius, to wahm made and rocky mountain.


What made you choose cloth diapers?
Hmm, I think the cost has helped a lot. I bought most of ours used so that helped. I won't have to spend money on disposables. And I can resell them when I am done. And I like to know I am helping keep those diapers out of the land fills. Our trash isn't nearly as full as it would be if we used disposables all of the time.

Cute pictures of Clothed bums?
Hmmm I don't seem to have one on hand. Will have to work on that! ;)
