Look in "the bag"

Here is a peek inside my diaper bag! This is how I pack for a few hours out of the house while still cloth diapering.

First of all, my bag is a JJCole diaper bag. Amazing bag and absolutely worth the extra bit of money...it even attaches to my stroller! (separate product review on the diaper bag coming soon).

Included in my bag I have: diapering products, small container of disposable wipes, bags for disposable wipes, toys, book,washcloth and burpcloth, change of clothes, nursing cover, and 4 diapers: 3 pockets and 1 AIO. I generally also have a sippy cup that fits into one of the side pockets. I have ample amount of room available for hats, gloves, and more diapers even after all that you see packed. Oh, and yes, I can still easily zipper the top!

Travelling with Cloth

I travel with cloth diapers all the time! For a few hours out of the home, I put the extra diapers into the diaper bag, just like I would with disposables. If I am going away for a full day or more, I take an extra canvas bag with all the diapers in it.

When a diaper is dirty, change it like you usually would. This is where people get stuck...if you have disposables, you throw away the dirty diaper....but what to do with a dirty cloth diaper? I use Kushies brand Wet Bags in a size large. I have only two and it has always been enough. I can get about 7 dirty pocket diapers into each bag. These are wonderful, drawstring, waterproof bags that keep the dirty in. I just keep the wetbag in my diaper bag with the dirty diaper in it. When I wash my diapers, I just toss the wetbag in with the dirty diapers. The bonus: they come in lots of fun patterns!

I have found travel with cloth to be very easy! Plus, when taking a longer car trip, the cloth is more absorbant than a disposable so baby is happier longer :)
