Best tip that helped the most was to have a meal plan, prep, create and freeze meals so that they are healthy and readily available and that u can rest and not have to worry about cooking.

SO MUCH AMAZON

Cloth diapers are not as difficult as people make it out to be, you'll be fine.

Once you get on a washing schedule (every other day) it isn't bad at all. I cloth diapered my oldest two kids and they are 20 months apart.

No need to worry about cloth nappies. They’re so much better for your baby’s skin and the environment. Best even if babies can be naked. They learn naturally much quicker to train themselves. Excited for you 💥

We bought a bunch of cloth diapers but gave up on them pretty quickly for now, we might give it a go later again if the frequency of diaperchanges goes down 😄

Fun fact: cloth diapers are called "mantillas" here in Costa Rica, and anybody older than 35 wore them (but they were just white pieces of cloth, 100% cotton). Mothers took great pride in washing and sun drying the mantillas: showing off how white and clean they looked, which meant they were caring properly the baby. 👶 The disposable diapers business started might be 25-30 years ago for "convenience", but just made parents lazy and polluted... 🤷‍♂️

Wow so interesting! 😌 gracias por compartir

That’s what I thought too. But I will try my best since the beginning

Awesome thanks for sharing :) do you have any recommendations for which laundry detergent works the best? I got Molly’s suds powder for inners & some pods of tide free & clean for the outers… I wonder if there is a non toxic diy that works really good. Costa Rica can get very moldy in this season ugh

Charlie's Soap is a clean laundry detergent that I use and a lot of cloth diapering Moms like to use. I have made my own before with washing soda, borax, baking soda and then you need a good bar soap that you will grate up and mix in. I like this version because I like powdered laundry soap but you can make your own liquid detergent too. I will say you will need to strip your diapers every now and then to remove any build up of detergent over time. I never had to do it very often maybe once every few months. I hope that was helpful.
