I was so excited to get my frozen container of Dr. Bronner’s cleaner I recently ordered from well.ca

I love Dr. Bronners, I use their cleaner to tackle every job, some require full strength but I mainly dilute it.  A 16oz bottle is priced below $10 and my last bottle last me a full year.  Not a bad investment.  I have since purchased their baby soap and their famous peppermint castille soap of which we use to bath and to fill our soap dispensers with. The best part about Dr. Bronners is the fact they are certified organic, not tested on animals and certified fair trade.  In addition to all of the above his labels are thoroughly amusing.

Well.ca is an on-line store I frequently purchase from.  Not only do they have an excellent selection of products for you and your family’s well being they have the best customer service ever.  Seriously, they practically call you when the Canada Post truck is turning into your subdivision.  Obviously I ignored that e-mail and left the bottle until the following Monday upon which I found it frozen solid.

The best part about Well.ca is free shipping resulting in fewer shopping trips with children…..priceless.

I LOVE my cloth diapers and only those that practise this can relate to that absurd statement.

I love hanging them on the line, placing doublers into the AIO’s and stacking pre-folds in a neat little pile in Dane’s change table. Did you notice all of those statements relate to the clean aspect of diapers?  But what about the part before they are all laundered?  Well whoever says they love handling poop is a little sick in the head but with cloth diapering or diapering in general there still needs to be some hands on when it comes to changing messy ones.

I did extensive research going into this when I started cloth diapering Dane at 9 months, but I missed out on those lovely breast fed explosive projectile poops.  You know, the ones that go clear up to their hairline and can easily fill the whole left leg of a footle sleeper?  No cloth diaper, disposable diaper or a full on car cover can contain these moments.

Since I plan to cloth diaper from day one with the new arrival, I would love to know what other experienced cloth diapering mommies use.  Did you use the wet pail/dry pail, diaper sprayer or toss it all in the poor washer and hope for the best method?  luckily, the baby will be born in May enabling me to take advantage of the summer months to hang them out in the sun to bleach clean.

If anyone can give me a heads up as to what to expect with cloth diapering a new born, I would be eternally grateful.
