I just want to share that using wool for diaper covers is one of the most time honored and natural ways to cover cloth bums. Wool is naturally anti-bacterial, and breathable. Lanolizing wool covers now and then enhances their moisture resistance. Wool covers can be made easily by using 100% wool sweaters, or can be knitted or crocheted. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need more information about wear and care of wool! Great blog!

When you mentioned how many cloth diapers you have, I went to the basement to count how many I had just hung on the line... We use about 10 diapers per child and 3 diaper covers per child within 24 hours, and so, since we line-dry and don't wash every day, my stash is a little higher :) We use AiOs at night, and traditional cloth diapers as well as prefolds during the day. Greetings, Rose Hi Kiera,

Thanks for your comment.

Firstly, it gets rid of any manufacturing chemicals, and secondly it primes the fibres in the fabric. Especially fabrics like hemp and bamboo that get more absorbant the more you wash! We use a combination of prefolds, and all in ones. With a total stash of about 20 diapers for 2 children. Plus covers. Thanks for a great post. Washing new diapers in hot water is really important.
