Review on Woodlands Diapers Inserts Noras Nursery by Leslie Cyrius

First of all, this is a completely honest, independent and non-sponsored review of NN Cloth Diapers AND NN Cloth Diapers. Unfortunately, we FIRST had our third almost two months ago and cloth diapers have changed the game for us. My first two never had a diaper rash, but the third started reacting to everything we put on it, including HelloBellos and Pampers. And even with premium brands and insanely frequent replacements, we had leaks and failures *at least* once a day. He hasn't had a single reaction or rash since we introduced cloth diapers. I started about a week ago and after realizing the gussets must be in the creases of your legs (glitches the first day) I had my first leak today and again, this was due to being delirious and it didn't make sure the gussets were properly attached. It's not difficult, I only have two other kids who are homeschooled, we're renovating some DIY before we put our house up for sale, and my husband was completely overwhelmed with the work (so he mostly flew alone, so he walked basically just a little raggedy lol!) If this hasn't sold you cloth diapers - think about it. The cost to set up a basic supply (24-36 diapers, e.g. 4 NN diaper sets) plus accessories (manual bidet, splash guard and separate small laundry basket plus an extra set of liners that can be doubled overnight) is just over $300. The cost of using premium diapers for about 6,000 to 8,000 diaper changes (yes, as long as they're not potty trained) ranges from $4,500 to $6,000. If you're not willing to throw money away on a poor quality product, cloth diapers are an absolute win. For new parents, I would honestly recommend taking a couple of disposable diapers with you until you get more comfortable in your diaper roll. Parents and don't have to come up with an additional washing plan. But once you've sorted out your baby and your body no longer feels like an absolute mess, feel free to switch to cloth diapers. Nora diapers are my absolute favorite brands I've tried so far. They are the most boy friendly and chic when it comes to colors and patterns on the market today and their specific cut/design pattern is just perfect. From now on I will not order anything for our little boy. For real. I can't believe I'm the mom who literally loves a diaper brand, but here I am. Here you are reading this. (Oh, how babies change us.) So you need about 24-36 diapers so you don't have to wash as often. As mentioned, I'd also recommend a manual bidet and shin guard to flush out the poo in the toilet and keep the mess from splattering everywhere, and an extra set of inserts to double it up at night. There are many good charts showing which liners work best for what (absorbency vs. absorbency rate) - just google "cloth liner absorbency chart". Mine did a great job with two bamboos at night, but you might want to go crazy with the scammers and try a different material. Nora's Nursery's free e-book is worth its weight in gold and has a lot of amazing information about Fluff Love University. When it comes to determining your rinse/wash/dry routine, take notes on your phone, try it, and see how it works for you. If you run into problems, google it and adjust accordingly. I figured out my washing routine in about two days through trial and error [hard water, amount of water and load size, and agitation cycle are all factors, but it's not hard to figure them out and adjust them once you know they're the determining factors ( I have didn't do that, so troubleshooting)] A separate note on pants: cloth diapers add bulk, and some brands of pants don't fit and can look downright ridiculous. One way to mitigate this is to increase your pant size, but there are brands that work really well with CDs. Gerber Organics and Old Navy have been great so far, and Gap and Garanimals are probably good too. I have included a photo of our son in an NN diaper with Old Navy leggings in his size for reference. Sounds like a lot at first, I know. That put me off trying them with our first two and is (so far) one of my biggest regrets as a parent. Don't be two more kids later and an extra $12,000 in the pit before you try! Your little butts and education funds will thank you!
