I’ve mentioned a bit in passing that we are using cloth diapers with Lilly. I know, I know, a lot of you who may be unfamiliar with cloth diapering today may be wondering, why? What? Huh? So many questions. If you’re interested, I’ll definitely do a few posts on our experience with cloth diapers, etc.

But this post is not about that. When we started gathering our stash and learning about cloth diapering a baby, I was turned on to cloth wipes by a friend. Something I honestly hadn’t even considered, but was super curious about.

Now, we’d been given a TON of disposable wipes as gifts before Lilly was born, so we’d been using disposable wipes for a while. Then, the fabulous Ali from As You Stitch {Baby} sent me some of her adorable cloth wipes and a few reusable nursing pads to try out.

I am now HOOKED on cloth wipes!

These are the adorable gender neutral patterns she sent me for the cloth wipes. She also has super cute wipes for boys and girls!

She also sent me three sets of cloth nursing pads!

So, I really am LOVING the cloth wipes. I prepped them before I used them and they have only gotten softer. In fact, they get softer every time I wash them (which is A LOT). They haven’t shrunk or warped at all. They really maintain their shape in and out of washings.

All I do is add a little bit of water to them and then place them in the wipe warmer. I am using ONE cloth wipe per diaper change versus like 4-5 disposable wipes per diaper change. They really do the job well! I have a few other brands of cloth wipes that I’ve tried and almost all of them have shrunk or warped and aren’t as effective as Ali’s wipes.

Now, I LOVED her disposable nursing pads when I got them. They prepped well. They’re CRAZY soft and super cute… but my only issue is, TMI, I produce a lot of milk. So, I was leaking through the nursing pads within an hour or two. 🙁 Gross, I know. But, they are so soft – WAY softer than disposable nursing pads.

So, I’ve actually been using them between me and the disposable nursing pads. So, I put the reusable pad on, then the disposable on top of that. So, that way, I have the soft material against my sensitive areas and then I use the disposable on top of that so I don’t leak through my clothes. Win win! (BTW: These are TOTALLY lady / mom problems that they do NOT tell you about in 8th grade health class).

Anyway. I really LOVE Ali’s shop and LOVE her products.
