A couple months ago there was an article about mothers leaving diapers on their children too long and even washing them out and reusing them. Diapers are a necessity but are not covered by either WIC or Food stamps. Food banks are always looking for diaper donations; so if you are fortunate to be able to give I would encourage you to do so.
The cloth diaper community wants to empower low income families with another diapering option. It is diapering with flats (large square of fabric that can be folded to fit various size babies). With this type of diaper, a Snappi, and a few modern waterproof covers a family can start for as little as $60. You can even handwash flats since they are easy to wash and dry fast.
Kim Rosas, the creator of Dirty Diaper Laundry, shows her readers how to make a camp style washer. This is great for emergency preparedness for washing clothes and flat diapers. And for those who don't have a washer and dryer who want to cloth diaper.
Wish me luck May 23rd- May 30th as I attempt this challenge. Mind you, it is just for a week (:
