Everything you need to successfully start cloth diapering

Guys, I am so very excited about this new kit we are offering at Zukababy! I'm a little jealous that there was nothing like this when I was getting started cloth diapering!

When I first began doing cloth diaper consulting, I always tried to point people toward prefolds and covers because that is what I have loved from day one. However, as I've worked with more and more cloth diaper mamas, I realize that everyone has a different lifestyle, different baby, and a different preference. Therefore, I now recommend trying out many different styles to find out what you like best. I've spent many an hour sitting with cloth newbies making a list of what to try.

Well, we've made it simple for you. Zukababy now offers a complete cloth diapering kit that contains everything you'll need to get started cloth diapering!

Isn't it beautiful?

This kit includes (as copied and pasted from the Zukababy website):

• One dozen prefolds
• 1 Snappi
• 6 Fitted Diapers
• 1 Thirsties Duo Cover
• 1 Rumparooz Cover
• 1 Bummis Whisper Wrap Super Snap Cover
• 1 Flip One-Size Cover
• Flip Stay Dry Inserts – Your choice: 3 one-size or 6 newborn
• 1 pack Flip Disposable Inserts (18 per pack)
• 2 Overnight Hemp Doublers
• 1 Bumgenius 4.0 One-Size Pocket Diaper
• 1 FuzziBunz One-Size Pocket Diaper
• 1 Go Green The Champ One-Size Pocket Diaper
• 1 Bumgenius Freetime Stay Dry All-in-One
• 1 Bumgenius Elemental Organic Cotton All-in-One
• Planetwise Wet/Dry Bag
• Pail Wetbag – Your choice: 2 pail liners or one GroVia hanging pail
• 12 Pack of Flannel Cloth Wipes
• BabeeGreens Cleansing Set – wipe solution concentrate and spray bottle
• 1 pack of Flushable liners (100 per roll)

I checked and I just can't think of anything else you'll need. Other than soap to wash them with. But there's a kit for that, too. I'll write a short post about that tomorrow! Even if you don't purchase this particular kit, this is a great master list to go by as you build your stash. 

The kit contains 26 diapers, which is plenty to cloth diaper full time. It contains all of the types of diapers, (prefolds, fitteds, pockets, all-in-ones, and hybrids) including some disposable inserts. Several major brands are represented. It's just really amazing.

About the cost: if you've done any internet research, you'll know that almost everyone says that you need to be ready to invest around $400 to get started cloth diapering. Here are the costs for the Zukababy diaper kit, by size:

Infant size kit: $381.82 plus tax (fits size 5-16lbs)

Baby size kit: $412.35 plus tax (fits size 16-30lbs)

All orders over $99 qualify for free shipping, so there is no shipping charge.

You'll be hard pressed to find or build a kit that is this inclusive for such a low price. I haven't seen one yet.

But wait, there's more! (sorry, couldn't resist)

Next week, I will be posting a special way to get $50 taken off of the cost of your cloth diaper kit. Check back on Monday to find out how! (Sign up for my email updates to ensure you get a reminder! Or go find me on Facebook!)

Cloth diaper party!

Hi guys!

Before I get started on my Sourdough series, I'd like to share an important announcement: I'm hosting a party!

This is not just any party, though. This is a cloth diaper party.

I had a visit with Erin at Zukababy in New Orleans last week, and we've decided to have a cloth diaper party at my place in Ponchatoula!

I've talked to a number of people since I've moved here that are interested in cloth diapering, but just don't know where to begin. Believe, I've been there. I was so grateful to have Zukababy nearby when Izzy was born, where I could learn just how easy and affordable cloth diapering can be.

So, what do you do at a cloth diaper party, anyway? Well, Erin will come with her box o' gear (diapers, liners, wipes and such) and explain the different types of cloth diapers, the best way to keep them until wash day, how to wash, how to troubleshoot, etc. Also, you can order from my house that night, if you're interested.

Pretty soon, I'll write a little about my experience with cloth diapering and why I love it so MUCH! Yes, I'm a little crazy about my cloth diapers.

So, before I go, I'll share with you the details: The party will be Friday, September 16th at my place in Ponchatoula. We're still nailing down the exact time, but I'll let you know as soon as I know. It will be some time in the evening. Be checking back.

Let me know by comment if you think you might want to come, and do your friends a favor by letting them know, too! Share the link for this post on Facebook if you think any of your e-friends might be interested. I'll be creating a Facebook "event" shortly.

Even if you're not that interested, you may want to come by just to see how it's done. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I know that this post does not apply to all readers, only those in my area who have small children. However I do want to get the word out as much as possible so we can have a good turnout for Erin's first homeshow. If you don't live in the area but are interested in cloth diapering or just want another good natural parenting resource, you can still check out Zukababy's website.

TTFN!
