1. Charlie's Soap: I had read about it but I hadn't actually tried it... and then I did AMAZING. It takes out stains and it washes the diapers really well. I went back to my usual 2 cycle rinse and we have had no diaper rashes. Score! I love it so much I want to use it on all of our clothes. *There was nothing wrong with the bumgenius soap we were using, we just ran out so I thought I would try something new.
2. Overnight wetting. We have tried a few things for our heavy wetter: 1. Putting two inserts in the cloth diaper. This actually works really well, it's just really thick to put under PJ's. And then you have to use more inserts/less diapers for the day, etc. 2. Putting two disposable diapers on. This works up to a point. I think if we went up a size, it would probably work better but he was waking up with his jammies soaked every morning.
Solution: One disposable and put a cloth diaper over it. Genius! It works like a charm. It doesn't make his jammies too snug and he wakes up dry. Jamie likes to say he thought of this... he did not :)
Clothing diapering is going well. I went back to just the 2 cycle rinse with the Charlie's soap. I rarely hang them outside (because I'm lazy and the Charlie's bleaches them). We use one disposable at night and usually if we are out but that's really because we have a bunch left from vacation.
If anyone is considering cloth diapering, feel free to talk with me! I would be glad to help... share my mistakes :)
