I plan to wash all my cloth diapers and wipes by hand in the sink and hang them to dry I have read that it is the best way to be sure that all the soap is out of the diapers I would love to get some suggestions so that I will be completely prepared thank you!!

What got him to make the switch? The cost. As per wipes the cost is the big reason we use em. Sides, I get the pooey messes. :) Now I'm workin to switch me to cloth too! Imagine the savings! :) Our wipe regimen is to wash em (with our dpr service), toss em in an open container, and add enough water to dampen but not have standing water. We usually only need one wipe per poo!! I gotta say that my hubby prefers cloth diapers whenever we arent on a trip nor at night (only cause those times we use sposies to ward of dpr rashes).

We started cloth diapering when we had our second child (we attempted with the first, but couldn't hack it at the time) and first started with disposable wipes. It was annoying and didn't make sense to throw something in the garbage when we were reusing the diapers. Picked up a pack of cloth wipes and haven't turned back. They are no more extra work and actually better at cleaning up messes. I LOVE cloth wipes.

I have an EASY recipe for homemade baby wipes. Just make the solution, put it in a spray bottle, and spray your cloths before using. Simple! I've got the recipe on my blog... check it out!! I've used this recipe for each of my three babies, it's the only thing I've found that doesn't irritate their skin. http://newlifeonahomestead.com/?p=210 I LOVE using cloth baby wipes.

We brings wipes, diapers and doublers in one wet bag and bring another wet bag for the dirty diapers, etc. We find it just as easy to travel with cloth as disposables. The only yucky part is rinsing poopy diapers in the toilet (as we have a sprayer at home!). We just rinse our wipes under the faucet before each change. It seems to work well! We have tried spray bottles, wet wipe containers (filled with oils and water) and reverted back to the faucet. We find it easiest and we have a bathroom on each floor so it makes it easier.

They work great! I use the peri bottle when we are out and about. I do keep a pack of travel disposable wipes if we are leaving baby with a sitter or family that refuses to use the cloth wipes or diapers. My husband hated the idea of cloth diapers in the beginning. But I splurged and bought the OS pocket diapers (they look and work like disposables- you just throw them in the bag instead of the trash) and my husband was less freaked out by it. Now it's not a big deal to him. Since most people buy diapers and wipes for baby showers, I asked for one cloth diaper and/or set of cloth wipes instead. We use the cloth wipes with just water.

We try to use cloth diapers though and tote along a dry bag. Our seven-week-old isn't all that sensitive about getting her diaper changed immediately and our errands are usually pretty short so we haven't had to change diapers in public restrooms that often yet---but that could change!
