And now for a quick cloth diaper tutorial.

since i've been using cloth diapers for 2 weeks, i wanted to share with you how i diaper ella.  i've discovered a few tricks along the way.

before i begin, i want to show you all my my stash of diapers.

i just love all the colors.  do you see the baby wash cloths on the side?  those are designated strictly as wipes.  after i am done cleaning gabriella, i wrap the wash cloths in the cloth diaper and toss it in my kissa pail liner.  when i have 1 or 2 diapers left, the whole bag including the bag itself gets thrown in the wash.  very easy.

let the tutorial begin.

before i place the diaper on gabriella, i pull the extra layers of the inside of the cloth diaper to the front.  that way gabriella isn't lying down on a big lump.

next, i place the diaper on her.  here, you can clearly see the extra length of the inserts are pulled to the front of the diaper.

then, i tuck the inserts inside to make a barrier before i snap the diaper in place.

once the diaper is snapped on, you have a perfectly cloth diapered baby.  a happy one at that!

oh, one more thing.  regular diaper creams are a big no-no when using cloth diapers.  so i switched to grovia, an all natural diaper stick.
