where is the best place to get cloth diapers

facebook has a green mountain diapers items swap/sale group but it's join by invite only or something like that. I can get you in touch though.

I WAS using flats and prefolds. I didn't like the prefolds. I bought my own fabric of hemp/bamboo jersey and bamboo french terry and microfleece. Out of 2 yards each I got 9 diapers and 6 soakers. I paid $56 for the jersey and terry, and $14 for the microfleece.

i did not base my diaper decision on price and i bought most of our stash at a local shop (tinytots), so i'm no help there. BUT i recently bought the econobum set from cotton babies for a baby shower gift (50$ for 3 onesize covers and 12 onesize prefolds) i thought it was a great way to get a family started on cloth. infact, my orginal plan was to buy them 3 AIO (which is one of the diaper types we use on DD) and this one box they were asking for. instead, i just bought two of the econobum sets and even spent a little less $$. the feedback i've gotten so far was very positive but i believe they added more covers to their stash.

Harlow is a mama's girl

"Right now she needs mom because all she does is eat," the singer told People magazine. "I have a feeling that when she starts talking she's going to be a daddy's girl."

Good Charlotte singer Joel, 28, previously revealed Harlow is the spitting image of her mother.

"She looks so much like her mom its crazy!", he said. "She eats like a little maniac and she's really sweet. She barely ever cries, even when daddy is changing her diaper, and believe me I suck when it comes to diapers, but I'm learning!"

Joel also spoke enthusiastically about Richie's postbaby shape.

"She's a wonderful mother and she looks really hot already," he told People. "The girl is gifted, man. Women hate her because she looks good being pregnant and then has the baby and looks sexy. There's something so attractive about her now. It's a motherly glow."

Speaking at the opening of Los Angeles' Eli Broad Contemporary Art Museum on Saturday Richie said: "Harlow is doing great. Really great. It hasn't been much more than a month but all I can say is that being a mother is everything I hoped it would be and more. It's wonderful."

Later on Saturday evening, Nicole and Joel visited a preGrammys party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, but were so eager to get back to Harlow they left before midnight.

citydiary Rubin's pact on the home front An Obstacle to the 4

JAMES Rubin, or Jamie as he apparently likes to be known, has got himself a new job. The former Assistant Secretary of State under the Clinton administration, who devoted much of his time to trying to sort out international hotspots such as the Middle East and Kosovo, will resurface next Tuesday as a partner of financial PR giant Brunswick. Rubin resigned from the State Department last May so he could be with his Londonbased wife Christiane Amanpour, CNN's famed Kate Adie equivalent, and look after their baby son.

"There were a lot of jokes about diapers and Mr Mom," he said at the time. "But marriage is about compromise. This is a time for me to compromise in her direction, and another time, she will compromise in my direction." Perhaps the time has come, with Rubin now destined to look after slightly older toythrowing boys.

IAN Russell is just three weeks into his new job as Scottish Power chief executive and he's already taken his eye off the ball. Asked whether the new job is as easy as he'd expected, Russell replies: "Only if Arsenal win the Cup  that's the key in the next couple of weeks." And I thought they got their energy from good oldfashioned chicken, beans and chips.

PAUL Austin, spokesman for spread better IG Index, was in his local bookie last weekend (they just can't stay away), about to put on a 121 horse called Naked Oat, when his mobile phone rang.

He went outside to take the call, and ended up having to explain to an Observer journalist just why his chairman Stuart Wheeler's donation to the Conservatives had nothing to do with Tory MPs' attempts to cut IG Index's tax bill.

By the time he got back inside, all bets had closed on the 4.35 at Southwell, but no prizes for guessing which horse won. "The Observer cost me moans Austin. "And I don't think Stuart will be subbing me."

TWO more bookies, Blue Square and Paddy Power, have got their knickers in a bit of a twist.

Blue Square reckons Paddy nicked its odds for the upcoming World Poker Championships in Las Vegas, since their websites both offer almost identical odds on the same 120 contenders, from a total 650.

"Ours were posted first," insists Blue Square. "They've even quoted one of our own guys who no one knew was taking part.

"And they've copied our incredibly juvenile decision to make Stuart Wheeler the rank outsider at 2001."

"I'll have to plead the fifth," a Paddy spokesman says. "But there'll be a public hanging later in the car park." It was IG Index who had the last laugh, however. "It's the worst 2001 shot in betting history," sniggers Paul Austin (him again). "Stuart Wheeler's not even going."

THE crusties' May Day protests have inevitably spawned "The Bankers' Retaliation", an email that's been doing the rounds for the last couple of days.

Bankers are invited to congregate for the International City Day of Action, wearing their finest pinstripe, with mobile phone glued to ear, and to "head off down to Brighton to disrupt as many dreadlocked men and women with dogs on string as possible."

The plan of action includes picketing henna tattoo stalls, storming the dole office and gluing the doors shut, handing out photocopies of salary slips, raiding offlicences and destroying cans of Special Brew, Tennent's Super, Thunderbird and cheap cider. All very ironic, I'm sure.

Car burnings rise as France threatens to take euro crisis to plane , says hedge fund boss Michael Hintze.

Marketers see babies' noses as pathway to profits

The corporate world is always looking for the next big market, and right now babies are it. With recent marketing research concluding that young children are up to 350 percent more responsive to the five senses than adults, and especially to smell, marketers are hoping to capture future consumers by putting signature smells in ordinary baby products that will later evoke positive memories. For a toy manufacturer, for instance, a scent on a stuffed animal could translate to a 7yearold's preference for that brand of toys just because the toy has the scent.

''You won't be able to argue with your brain," says branding specialist Martin Lindstrom of Norway, who advises Fortune 500 companies.

That marketers want our children is not new. That they are after even our babies and toddlers is an increasing challenge for parents and a concern to childdevelopment specialists.

Try to find a disposable diaper, even for a newborn, that doesn't have a media character on it, from Barney and Blues Clues (Luvs), to Mickey Mouse, Finding Nemo (Huggies), or Sesame Street (Pampers). The characters aren't just on the strip along the top of the diaper, they are front and center, big and bold. Right there where a seated 6monthold's drool dribbles.

Long before ''drool factor" became a hip way to refer to an item advertisers hoped consumers would covet, it had a more literal meaning. Ever notice how a 5 or 6monthold sometimes watches to see where his drool lands? Discovering that was an ''aha!" moment for former Texas A marketing professor James McNeal. He reasoned that if the drool dripped to a diaper or a bib imprinted with an image of a character that's linked to a brand, and if the baby sees the logo repeatedly. . .

Voila! Brand recognition in the crib! With cradletograve brand loyalty worth an estimated $100,000 per consumer, babies are ''the future market for ALL goods and services," emails McNeal from China, where he's researching youth consumerism.

McNeal came up with the drool factor in 1993, but the industry was slower on the uptake than he expected. Only recently, he emails, ''[has it] finally dipped down [to 1yearolds]."

If you're wondering, ''What's the big deal? We're just talking babies, for heaven's sake," McNeal will tell you: ''. . Research shows that the part of the brain responsible for cognitive learning comes on line gradually, over several years, but the right brain, responsible for emotions and relationships, is up and running from birth. Here's how it can work to a marketer's advantage: The more an image is repeated on diapers, toys, clothes, and food, the more familiar it becomes. What's familiar conveys a sense of comfort and security. That leads to an emotional attachment.

Babies and toddlers are most vulnerable. Cognitively unable to filter, they also take in more than we realize. What's most visually dramatic tends to be what children notice first, says Dan S. Acuff, a marketing insider turned critic. But ''the whole gestalt also imprints.

Marketers first recognized the value of visual repetition. Now they're on to sound and smell. A pacifier with a music chip? ''Don't laugh," says Lindstrom. Smell is even more powerful ''because it goes straight to the emotional register." Look for scented diapers on US shelves within six months, he says. Expect a smell of vanilla to infuse your nursery not long thereafter.

Boston College sociologist Juliet Schor doesn't tell parents to ban all branded items from the crib; as in so many arenas of parenting, moderation is key, she says. But extensive branding in a baby's life ''socializes him into a world of corporate values. A toddler grows up thinking McDonald's is good because it gives her things she likes. But McDonald's isn't healthy food, it doesn't pay decent wages," she says. ''By branding kids younger and younger, corporations count on creating the next generation to be more friendly to them. To the extent we are branding babies, we are bringing them up in a world that makes it harder for them to be critical of what they buy."

To be sure, you can find unbranded diapers, you can find unbranded anything. But it takes more effort and, often, more money. ''It becomes a class issue," says Schor. Finding unscented brands may be even trickier.

''It will be so subtle," predicts Lindstrom, who spoke via phone from Dubai. He urges manufacturers to be generous with labels and signs (''This is a product that uses smell to induce purchase.") to avoid a backlash from consumers who might otherwise feel duped.

Meanwhile, parents aren't as powerless as we may think:

Resist screens of all kinds. Since the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no screen time for children under 2, marketers have become more resourceful. The latest? Verizon offers ''mobitoons" on your cell: pass the cellphone to your crying baby or toddler while you're driving and, for $15 a month, you have unlimited access to famililar, calming ''Sesame Street" characters. There's a hidden cost, though. Linn cautions that children who learn to turn to a screen for comfort sooner or later are exposed to logos, branding, and commercials that further suck them into a materialistic culture.

Buy generic. A baby will find as much fascination in an unbranded crib mirror as one with Elmo on the frame, as much comfort in any cuddly stuffed animal as the plush version of a beloved TV character. When a toy is generic and openended rather than linked to a character, there's more opportunity for creativity, which leads to more learning. What's more, Linn says character toys lead to consumerism because they become boring, encouraging a child to want the next toy and the next.

Acknowledge, don't purchase. You're at the grocery store and your 16monthold gets excited as you pass a food item with her favorite character on it. If you say ''No!" and try to move on, you're into a power struggle that marketers count on parents losing. Instead, ''Diffuse the moment by thinking of this as a request for acknowledgment, not a demand for purchase. It's the fact of recognition that makes it pleasurable to them," says early childhood educator Ruth Anne Hammond: '' 'Look at that! You recognize Elmo!' " Hammond is director of the infanttoddlerparent program at Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena.

McNeal downplays the industry's role in creating materialistic children. ''The danger is in what the parents do. All of it is funneled through parents in one way or another. They introduce the brands, the TV, the marketplace to their kids, starting at birth." Many parents, after all, are addicted to brands themselves, he notes.

Daniel Anderson is sympathetic to parents. A psychology professor and children's media specialist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, he says, ''I've seen with my own eyes the way a child reacts with wonder and delight when they get something that has a character they love on it: Dora the Explorer, Barney, Elmo. Any parent who sees that feels they've done exactly the right thing, buying that product."

Sympathetic or not, he suggests another way for parents to think about it: ''Children are forming attachments with media images. [With every branded purchase], you've turned over part of your child's love to a giant corporation."

Pocket Diapers A Must Have for Baby Care

Diapers are essential for babies But some diapers can cause rashes to babies, unlike cloth diapers that are softer than disposable diapers

Diapers are essential for babies. But some diapers can cause rashes to babies, unlike cloth diapers that are softer than disposable diapers. And cloth diapers are not very absorbent. Thankfully a new innovation in diapering system was invented to address the problem. Pocket diapers are probably the biggest innovation in cloth diapering in the last 20 years. There are responsible for a major resurgence in using cloth diapers. They consist of an outer layer of waterproof material and inner layer of micro fleece or suede cloth. This keeps the baby feeling dry and helps prevent diaper rash. The inner stay dry micro fleece layer wicks moisture away from the baby?s skin to the absorbent insert within the pocket.

In between the two layers, you can put any material you want to, to customize the level of absorbency of the diaper. The absorbent material that is inserted into the pocket is what absorbs the moisture when the baby relieves himself. This system allows for a quicker drying time, and more tailored absorbency for your baby?s wetting needs. This is a perfect choice for heavy wetter and nighttime diapering with the help of the tailor absorbency, which keeps the baby dry.

And if you want to add more absorbency to the diaper at night, you can try 100% cotton prefold diaper into the pocket, or double up on absorbent cloth diaper inserts. This absorbent material can be removed later for more effective cleaning. And the best thing with this diaper is that you can decide what to stuff the pocket with, so you can find the right absorbency level.

This can come into a twopiece diapering system with a waterproof outer layer that requires only a stuffer. Or it can be a three part diapering system with a nonwaterproof outer layer that will require the use of a diaper cover.

You might also be interested to know that these are also easy to use and easy to wash! It is easy to clean because they can come apart easily. Thus, this is definitely a must have for mothers. Another advantage is that they can be very trim if absorbent stuffing is not bulky. And they are also available in lots of cute colors and prints.

Unfortunately though, using pocket diapers exclusively can be expensive, as compared to other diaper system. Thus, some people use a combination of systems, reserving their pocket diapers for going out, or for daddy, grandparents, babysitters, etc. But the good news is that you can still save money using this type of diaper as compared to the cheapest disposable diapers. And the best thing is that you can also use this type of diaper for your other babies, thus saving you a lot of money!

The disadvantage with pocket diapers is that the separate stuffer is required to make the diaper function. And it can be bulky if too much stuffing is inserted. Read some product reviews on designer baby clothes such as Lakris baby clothing and many others!

Getting the most out of sized cloth diapers

One of the draws of cloth diapering is the moneysaving potential. . Yet many parents have trouble laying out a large sum of money formoreexpensiveyetmorelikedisposable diapers like pockets and allinones. A quick look at the math shows that many diapers pay for themselves in less than 100 uses. Is it possible to get many uses out of a diaper? It's not that hard, if you use a diaper a few times a week or if it's a onesize diaper. One size diapers can see years of use with one child. However, some parents prefer the reduced bulk and better fit of sized diapers. Is it possible to save money buying different sizes of cloth diapers? Yes, with a small bit of advice: invest in mediums.

Across brands, the medium size often has a large weight and measurement range. This range conveniently encompasses the size of a child over much of his or her diaperwearing life. A medium diaper that fits a 6 month old may fit a toddler as well.

Will this be the case for every child? Nosome children will move quickly into larges, others stay in smalls for a long time. The size you need to invest in will probably become clear after you see how quickly your child grows. For a great number of children though, the sweet size is medium.

What to do until a child is big enough for mediums? It's possible save money even buying a complete pocket stash for each size. For a more dramatic costsaving route, use prefolds and covers in the smaller stages. Many find that they like prefolds and covers the entire time using diapers and will save quite a bit of money. Otherwise, the size to shoot for with pockets and allinones is medium.

Hold onto medium diapers after your child grows out of them, especially if they come too small before your child is walking. Often, walkers will "slim down" from the increased activity and alternate body positioning. It's not unheard of for children to go back down a size after walking begins.
