Today my post is all about cloth diapers.Mostly people from older generation in our country does not prefer disposable ones and modern day moms found it really exhausting task to change babies nappies every half an hour or even every 10 min in winters. and then doing loads of laundry every day.
so here comes the solution..........modern day cloth diaper ;its cloth ,so one won't argue with u about its disadvantage.plus it gives benefits of disposable ones.
Many mothers want to know about these modern day cloth diapers but wait for quite long time before buying, just because there are so many questions in their mind like...something like these.......?????
so here my answer to all queries.
yes buy them, at least one, anyone,any type of it,just to try........u will really want to buy more later one.
one more thing , sooner u buy more money u save.
and u wud have more time to experiment with different types. at the same time wasting less money

CLOTH DIAPERS IN INDIA REVIEW......PART TWO
even I have answered in one line (or few lines)I will try to answer every question with explanation (as we used to do in school notes explaining every heading.)or I will send u to some link to satisfy ur queries (or may be to get more confused.....well I hope u wont)
so here it goes
What are they exactly and how they work?
they usually have two parts diaper cover(coloured or printed) and insert(usually white ). former for preventing leakage outsideand ,later one for soaking wetness inside.
these two parts come in many forms and varieties from brand to brand. depending upon every mom needs. these two parts are either sewn together(ie u don't have to join two parts can use it directly)or get attached by snap closure or may be by inserting one part into other(ie pocket diaper)
they are not a plastic cover with cloth nappies inside as many people think. and they don't work as this .baby wont feel wet inside as inner part wicks away moisture keeping babys skin dry,
while outer part prevent leakage outside keeping the wetness in between.
How to use them? its so confusing to read about them.
don't worry so much about this, once u will buy one, u wud know how to use another type too.
but still if u want to know
Which one to buy?
Its up to your need and how much money u want to spend on these diapers. pocket diapers woud cost more than the other one in which insert is snapped onto cover.but pocket diaper can work for longer period than other one.if u are on budget or u have newborn baby than snapped one would be good,but it need to changed early than pocket one which can be used overnight (using two inserts) .
There are so many items related to it.... organic, microfibre, cotton insert ,pocket diaper,diaper cover,prefolds, etc etc........Do i need to buy everything above?its too much!!how i will manage all these items?
You don't have to buy every thing all at ones,for the first time just buy the diaper and u will get inserts with it and later on can decide whether u want extra inserts or simple cotton insert or microfiber or organic whatever.
like me I never bought separate inserts(use cotton inserts that come with diaper cover and that's all)

- u have to fill or snap insert to diaper cover.
- then snap butons on diaper cover according to ur babie's size ..or u can do this for one time only do not open snap buttons again till it fits ur baby this seems complicated in reading but it is not so .
- lie ur baby and put it on ur babyt as u do in regular diapers.then snap buttons according to ur baby's waist.(some brands have velcros in place of snap buttons
- check with ur fingers along leg sides and waist for best fit,they must not be loose or too tight
- take a deep breath and relax for 3 to 5 hrs as u don't have to change it so soon.
