I know… if you are envisioning tubs of bleach, borax, rubber pants and pre-folds… you have got to get into this century of diapers!  They are cute, convenient, easy to clean, and daycare friendly!

Honestly, I had no intention of cloth diapering when I went back to work.  I didn’t even want to bring it up at daycare for fear that they would think I was totally crazy (and let’s face it… I might be!).  Much to my surprise… daycare brought it up with me!  My wonderful, loving, caring, daycare provider said – you do cloth diapers right?  I was thinking I could do them here!  She keeps the kids egg, gluten, and nut free with homemade meals… and now… cloth diapers?!  How does she do it?!

Anyway… here is a list of our daycare daily pack (depending on your stash – you might be able to send 2-3 days at a time). If you don’t do daycare – this is a great list of supplies for babysitters, grandparents, aunts and uncles, or anyone else who might watch the kids if you’re out for a bit.

Here’s a List of To-Go Cloth Diapering Supplies:

Diapers – depending on your babe – 6-8 diapers/day will probably be just fine (my day is 6:30-3:30).  I would choose an all in one, pocket, or all in two diaper.  I love itti-bittis and any kind of cute pocket diaper (pictured above).  I don’t ask my daycare provider to un-stuff them – that is easy to do before the wash.

Wet Bag – These handy dandy, stink free, bags have replaced the “diaper pail.”  They are just as cute as diapers are and made of the same waterproof material.  Send one that will fit the diapers you’re sending.

Wipes – if your daycare doesn’t mind tossing diapers into a wetbag… why not wipes? Pass them off in a container and already wet (with water).

Bum Spray – for heavy clean up.

Cloth Diaper Friendly Diaper Cream – this is important as many conventional lotions and creams can stain or ruin the diapers.

Carpet Deodorizer Wet Bag Deodorizer – They are the same! This is your non-toxic way of keeping your wet bag fresh smelling all day.

Disposable Diaper Liners – at home we love to use a strip of minky fabric to keep diapers clean.  It makes quick work of dumping any… ahem… poop in the toilet without a need for a diaper sprayer or any contact with toilet water… ick.  Disposable liners do the same thing and are flush-able – which makes things a little easier at daycare.

In the end – of course this isn’t for every daycare – but ask!  If you use cloth diapers at home… most likely you love them and spend time convincing others how great they are… if that’s the case… chat with those who care for your kids!  They might love them too!!
