Anyone use cloth diapers?

[Anonymous]

I have been cloth diapering Henry for a couple of months now. I actually find this to be rather easy, compared to what I thought it would be and I hardly notice doing one more load of laundry a day to wash the diapers.

However, I think cloth diapering is actually making his reflux worse. If you cloth diaper, you know that they are much bulkier than disposables. Anytime I try to put pants on him they become very tight at the waste. Even with the next size up in pants they still seem very snug. I really only use elastic waist pants because that is what can stretch over the diaper and I know that those types of pants are not recommended for refluxers. Now that the weather is getting nicer, he can go without pants more and this won’t be an issue. Does anyone else have this problem?

Pressure on Dylan’s tummy was an issue. I don’t think I put him in pants until over at least a year to a year and a half old. They make great one piece outfits for all seasons, and this way we had no added pressure on his tummy……

Not sure if this helps…..

We’ve always had to cut Marisa’s pants to loosen the elastic. It looks a bit funny but it works! We use sleepers a lot too.

i cloth diapered most of my kids, although i used disposables more and more over time. one piece suits would probably be a good idea.

Thanks. I don’t know why I didn’t think of one piece outfits or overalls. I guess I’m just quite used to my routine of how I dress him. Thanks for all your input.
