When you are trying to figure out what kind of diapers to get, it seems like there are a million different accessories you can buy. Each accessory has a very specific purpose. Some of those products have a wide audience and others have a narrow application. So, here is what we would recommend as the basics for most families.
- At a minimum, you need a diaper pail. A plastic trash bag will work as a liner, but it isn’t the most environmentally friendly choice available. We recommend a washable diaper liner (the Bummis Totes are great) and deo-disks.
- Cloth baby wipes are absolutely essential. When you are changing a diaper, the wipes usually end up on top of or inside of the dirty diaper. It makes no sense to be trying to keep the wipes separate just so you can throw them in the trash can. If you use cloth wipes, the whole diaper/wipe pile just ends up in the diaper pail. The wipes get washed with the cloth diapers and you can re-use them again!
- Flushable diaper liners or a Minishower are essential.
- I personally love having the Kissaluvs Diaper Lotion Potion in my diaper bag. This spray makes diaper clean-up quick and easy.
