I'm a diaper store owner/cloth diaper addict...LOTS of negative stuff has been coming around about Charlies. THe company is saying that they are a soap only. The problem is that while washing dipes..you really need something that has a bacteria killer in it. Charlies is fine for clothing. But, dipes need something added to Charlies (tea tree oil or bleach..something like that.) <br /><br />I've had two customers w/ baby girls who've had chronic UTIs. One was hospitalized. THe bacteria they found was eColi. After they ditched the Charlies...not another infection.<br /><br />My fav for dipes is Maggies Soap Nuts -- liquid. Because the liquid has tea tree and lavendar added in a perfect, tiny portion. :)<br /><br />BTW...like, Teresha said...Leading is not normal for cloth diapering. :0)Hip Green Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17309485489916206559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745513252224031567.post-37195801400493064512009-10-08T09:20:43.782-04:002009-10-08T09:20:43.782-04:00p.s.

I just wanted to mention that Marlie is exclusively cloth diapered with the occasional gDiaper thrown in the mix. We mainly use prefolds and some fitteds and we love it! We don't have pocket diapers in our inventory so I tried the Babyland brand for this review and it didn't work out...but that doesn't discount all the other terrific cloth diapers on the market. Read about our cloth diapering system in my previous post:<br /><br /><a href="http://marlieandmommy.blogspot.com/2009/09/chronicles-of-cloth-diapering.html" rel="nofollow">Chronicles of Cloth Diapering</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08700057904506855793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745513252224031567.post-76835279676347105962009-10-08T08:19:50.726-04:002009-10-08T08:19:50.726-04:00She is just adorable and I agree the pattern on th...She is just adorable and I agree the pattern on the diaper looks great on her!<br /><br />I was never brave enough to use cloth diapers but I did have to change one the other day. It had snaps for adjusting the size and velcro tabs. It fit my niece well but she's also almost a year old.<br /><br />Great review though, I'm sure a lot of people will be glad to know they should wait until the baby gets bigger for that brand.Kim @ What's That Smell?http://accidentalmommies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745513252224031567.post-4571557205495373582009-10-07T23:20:29.569-04:002009-10-07T23:20:29.569-04:00I've been cloth diapering now for a year so I ...I've been cloth diapering now for a year so I know that there is a lot of variance between brands. One thing that I found in common with the "one size" is that I really couldn't start using them until our son was about 10 lbs. Since he was only 5 lbs when he was born, it took a couple of months before those diapers fit. When they are too big, they leak (just like how you mentioned the gaping). <br /><br />I'm not sure what kind of insert you have, but depending on the material, you may have to "prep" it several times by running it thru your wash. Oh, and you can only use certain detergents too--regular detergent has all this stuff in it that will lead to repelling rather than absorbing. I use Charlie's Soap or Crunchy Clean Soap. <br /><br />Sorry if you already knew all this :) A great site that I go to is theclothdiaperwhisperer.com or The Eco Friendly Family forum on TheBump.comShari@aPsychMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15735162229522087050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745513252224031567.post-66801714695666058722009-10-07T17:22:41.343-04:002009-10-07T17:22:41.343-04:00Hmm.. i definitely want to try cloth diapers.. but...Hmm.. i definitely want to try cloth diapers.. but I worry about some of the things you mentioned.<br /><br />I guess we will see whenever I have another baby!Feliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09652468693297063378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745513252224031567.post-77135084869493091232009-10-07T12:38:09.869-04:002009-10-07T12:38:09.869-04:00Baby Marlie IS a real cutie!
