Cloth Diapering While on Vacation

I was very excited to get our package of diapers from Eco-Diaper Service this morning! Jackson had been stuck in sposies for the past 2 days and I was more than ready to get back to cloth.

Michelle from Eco-Diaper Service in Orlando, Florida has been EXTREMELY helpful and accommodating to me and my situation. Jackson is long and skinny and in-between prefold sizes. Michelle agreed to let us use half newborn diapers and half infant diapers. Perfect!

I checked the diapers out when they got here and they are so clean! I didn't really know what to expect but I didn't find one stain which impressed me a lot. I changed Jackson into cloth right away. We started with a newborn diaper and a small Thirsties cover...No leaks!

The next diaper change, I used another newborn diaper with a Thirsties Duo Wrap. We went and visited with my husband's aunt and uncle and Jackson did leak while we were there but he had been drinking a lot. The fit of the newborn prefold is good for him but he needs the absorbency of the infant prefold.

We got through the rest of the day with no more leaks which is good news! For overnight, I trifolded a newborn prefold and stuck it on the middle section of an infant prefold then trifolded that one. He went to bed 3 hours ago and hasn't woken up yet so - so far - so good! I'm hoping this combination will keep him dry through morning...if not, I'll try something different for overnight.

I'm so happy that I contacted Eco-Diaper Service so I could continue cloth diapering while on vacation. The customer service is amazing so if you are vacationing in the Orlando area, definitely check them out! I'm sure they would be more than willing to accommodate your family.

All I had to bring on vacation to continue cloth diapering was a small wet bag to keep in my diaper bag and our covers. I also brought a small sample bag of Rockin' Green cloth diaper detergent so I can wash the covers while we are here.

If you live in the Orlando area and would like to start using a diaper service -- definitely check out Eco-Diaper Service! I checked out their newsletter that is on their site and if you use the discount code "holiday2009" when you sign up for the service, you can save $5 off of your setup package! That offer is good until December 31st.

I will keep you updated during the rest of our vacation but so far, everything has been great!
