We use cloth diapers.

Favorite system: Simple pre-folds, Snappi’s, and ANY pants made of 100% polyester work fine.

A velcro-closure cover with a prefold for the absorbent layer is pretty easy, too.

No, you don’t have to wash them twice. You just use more rinse cycles.

Why is DDN using Swank for these quotes? She is not an expert at natural parenting. I remember all those non-evidence-based comments she made about co-sleeping.

We’ve switched to Fresh All Organic Baby Foods. We cook from scratch whenever we can, but usually we buy a new fresh refrigerated brand of baby food, called HOMEMADE BABY. It’s not in Dayton yet, but I hope Kroeger begins to carry it soon. We purchase it via mys Sister at Dierbergs and Schnucks in St Louis.

great website too… www.homemadebaby.com

We don’t use cloth diapers, but we do use Kleen Kanteen which is a stainless steel sippy cup. It’s better for baby because there’s no plastic to worry about. We also refuse to use any plastic grocery bags - they are horrible for the environment!- instead we use canvas reusable ones and usually get a discount for doing so. My goal is to stop using paper towels and I’ve already stopped with paper plates and cups.

We are not doing anything good in the diaper area. We have been using disposables since day 1. I just started looking for alternatives. Now reading about Dioxin make me want to hurry up and find a new way. Thanks for the story with local resources.
