I like to think that I am a pretty organized person. I store my cloth diapers in one of the drawers of my changing station and have them in the order I want to use them (brands I like the best to brands I want to use when washing the others). On top of the changing table, I have other things I will use in a basket, including wipes. I do love to reorganize a lot, so we will see if this lasts! :)
ReplyDeleteI use bGs at night so I have them stuffed and keep them in the pajama drawer. I use flips during the day so I have them in the top drawer under my changing pad near my cloth wipes and all of my flip inserts (there are lots!) are folded in a bin in the closet.
ReplyDeleteMy cloth diapers are all stored in a short bureau that doubles as a changing table for my daughter. On top of the table we have the changing pad, a toy or two for distraction, and the wipes warmer and a stack of dry wipes. I love it!
ReplyDeleteWe are using a dresser top as the changing area. We have a changing pad,a few toys, and a set of lined baskets that hold the diapers and wipes. It's nice to have them stacked in the baskets, ready to use at arm's reach.
ReplyDeleteI plan to store clean diapers in our changing table drawers. Cloth wipes and solution will be stored on the shelf above the drawers.
ReplyDeleteI have a basket that I use to hold all our clean, folded dipes, but my 15mo thinks it's so much fun to dump that basket out, so we're usually pretty unorganized. I keep my diapering supplies in our toy room, since that's where almost all of the diaper changes happen during the day.
ReplyDeleteI have two kids in diapers...one is two and close to potty trained and a one-month old who is using tons of diapers. For the two-year-old I have two diapers double-stuffed for naptime and bedtime and keep them in the top drawer of her dresser/changing table. During the day we use the flips and keep all the extra liners and an extra flip ready to go also in the top drawer. For the newborn I have one or two smaller diapers ready to go in this drawer. All the other diapers I pre-stuff and store in a bag hanging from the pack & play under the changing table in our living room. We are still using so many diapers all throughout the day so we keep them close. I also keep one or two extra ones next to my bed for night time changes for the newborn.
ReplyDeleteI love the wipes, especially on the newborn! I only have one set and I've been hoping for some more, so I'd love to win some! I love that they are chemical-free for her sensitive bottom.
We have cloth bins from Babies 'R Us that fit 8-10 fitteds each, and bigger ones that fit all our prefolds. I sort them by size (two babes in diapers) and stack them accordingly under the changing table.
ReplyDeleteWell, the baby isn't here yet so I can't say what I'll ACTUALLY do when reality hits *G* but for now everything is stacked according to type of diaper. We have different kinds (AIOs, AI2s, FLIPs, etc) since we don't know which ones we'll like the best plus we have some BG and bamboo newborn/xs to start with. Also, we're debating on a wipes warmer but are questioning whether or not we'll want to keep changing out the solution every couple of days to prevent mold so right now we have a small stack of wipes and a spray bottle. We don't have a dresser yet so everything is in baskets on the changing table.
ReplyDeleteOur baby isn't here yet, either, but for now, I have two changing stations set up on dresser tops (one upstairs, one down) with changing pads on top and diapers in the top drawer. I did buy a Prince Lionheart wipes warmer, as I think it will be easier in the beginning to have pre-moistened wipes. I have some NB size and some OS, so for now, I just have the newborn sizes loaded into the dressers.
ReplyDeleteI keep my AIO's and covers in a basket. Inserts I stack on the bottom shelf of the changing table.
ReplyDeleteI stack my diapers on top of a steralite three drawer cabinet. I used to put them in the drawers but now that is full with other baby/toddler supplies! The diapers stay well in their stacks and are easily accessible that way.
ReplyDeleteOur changing area is actually just a changing pad that we place on top of our bed. Our 22 month old is a mover so putting her on a regular table isn't safe anymore!
Thanks!

Well, I use to fold an put all of our diapers away on our changing table shelves, but then our youngest became mobile and the changing table was in our room. We needed the space, so it all got downgraded to a laundry basket. It works for me and there's less time spent taking care of that part. With three children, I welcome less household duties :)
ReplyDeleteWe use a big dresser as a changing area and have a basket on top next to the changing pad with wipes and a few Bum Genius' and store the rest of our BG and Flips in the top drawer and separate everything out with some drawer organizers from Ikea. They sell a package of drawer organizers for $10 and the baskets are the perfect size! It was almost as if they were sized just for the flip and bum genius inserts!
ReplyDeleteI sort all our diapers by brand and type and store them in closetmaid fabric cubes on a bookshelf next to the changing table. They are cute and organized. I have one cube for pockets, one cube for inserts/prefolds/liners/ and, one cube for disposable liners and covers! My cloth wipes are in a basket on the changing table with a peribottle to wet them.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am currently pregnant and I used disposables the first time around so I am still in the process of organizing my nursery. I will probably keep all her diapers in the top drawer of the dresser that is her changing table. I have a warmer that the wipes will stay in. I actually haven't bought any cloth wipes yet, just diapers-so this would be an amazing prize to win!
ReplyDeleteI just re-organized my diaper area yesterday! top shelf: flip pads and stuffed BG's for day. shelf 2: flip covers, disposable wipes and double stuffed BG's for night, shelf 3: prefolds and extra pads. I just recently bought cloth wipes which are by the sink to wet with warm water. I really need to try the BG bottom cleaner!
ReplyDeletei stuff/fold/snap/velcro all the diapers and store them in canvas bins. one bin has pockets, another has aios. then another has flats and prefolds and extra liners/doublers etc. then more small bins for socks, bibs, burp rags, washcloths. and finally ANOTHER bin for wipes and my peri bottle with solution. somehow that all fits on just 2 shelves on my changing table!
ReplyDeletewhen my cloth diapers are clean I put them in canvas bins on the shelf of the changing table (that is, once I get them stuffed/out of the laundry basket). I often put enough for a 'diaper load' in each basket, so once I take the last one out of the basket on the right I rotate it over to the left and move the full basket closer to my right hand. Then I put the freshly washed ones back into the left basket--this way I rotate them evenly. Sometimes I organize them by color or brand or type or closure. Sometimes they just get stuffed in there, or dropped if I'm in a real hurry. I used to keep the wipes separate, but they kept getting played with and tossed on the floor, so now they just get tossed into the basket, too! I keep a couple of wipes in the bathroom for surprise dirties! I just get the cloth really wet to do most of the work! Once the new baby comes, I'm sure my storage and routine will change, but for now, that's what works for us!
ReplyDeletewe have a dresser that i scored for $20 and refinished and added a change pad on top. all her clean bum genius diapers (all 28 of them!) are stored in the middle drawer stuffed and ready to go when she needs a new diaper! a tall cabinet stands beside it storing some wipes and a garbage bin with lid and a wet liner to store dirty diapers sits beside - pretty simple change station but it works!
ReplyDeleteMy baby is not here yet, so I can't say how I do it now... but my plan is to have a storage basket on the changing table with my diapers in it. My plan is to keep all my wipes and prestuffed diapers close by so that changing time is easy. I'm sure I'll have to change it up a bit...but for now that is the plan.
ReplyDeleteI have all of my BG's stuffed and ready to go in the changing table. We bought baskets from Container Store that just fit the table. With three baskets, we have 2 filled with diapers, and one filled with wipes, solution, and other supplies.
ReplyDeleteI store mine on the changing table. 3 piles: Mother Ease, prefolds and Flips. I put the BGs in the hanging diaper holder on the door. Wipes are in the drawer of the changing table.
ReplyDeleteI don't own a changing table... so my night stand is where I keep all my diapers and wipes. I am a pocket person so I stuff them and put them in a rectagular basket I had so they are all ready to use. I have two huggies wipe tubs that I bought when using disposables back when baby was born, I usually have one with the wipes solution and the other holds the wipes I just washed ao they are always ready to use!
ReplyDeleteOur changing table is a dresser I found for free on the side of the road. We cleaned it up and painted it and put a changing pad on top and voila. We actually keep baby clothes in it though. As far as diapers, all of our pockets and AIOs are kept in the bottom two drawers of a plastic drawer organizer along with our couple of fitteds and a couple of bamboo prefolds. Extra inserts and doublers go in the top drawer. Prefolds and covers (which we use most)sit right on the changing table, and flats go in one of the nooks of the changing table.
ReplyDeletewe just started cloth diapers.. so we organized our diapers in a dresser along with her wipes..but since im planning` on buying more.. `im going to need to reorganize them
ReplyDeleteAfter cleaning and stuffing the diapers (and folding!) I place them in cloth bins on my son's dresser. I have another bin that holds the newborn inserts to use at night. This keeps them easily accessible and my husband always knows where to go for clean diapers!
ReplyDeleteOur changing table is on top of a dresser, so I use the two top drawers to store the diapers. I use prefolds and flip inserts with flip and econobum covers, so I organize the inserts/prefolds by type and size in one drawer and the covers are kept in the other drawer along with a few pocket diapers that we use for overnights.
ReplyDeleteMy clean diapers are kept in drawers in the baby's closet. I bring a clean diaper with me to the changing area, where I have my own homemade cloth wipes and wipes solution.
ReplyDeleteI keep the clean folded diapers in a wooden laundry basket in the living room (where most diaper changes occur.)
ReplyDeleteOops--and my email is peanut2507 at yahoo dot com!
ReplyDeleteI stuff all my diapers snap them closed on the smallest top snap (just two each) and stack them in our hall bath under the sink. Next to them are wipes and my magic stick. They look all pretty, like they do on the websites, lol.
ReplyDeleteI have a laundry basket in my room on my nightstand that holds the clean diapers, next to that is my cloth diaper safe creams and wipes, then I have a trashcan with a liner on the other side for dirty diapers.
ReplyDeleteMy clean diapers are in a basket in the window in the play room, the changing table is pushed up to the window with wipes and a bottle of water :)
ReplyDeleteI have a basket on my changing area that holds my prefolds and night time OS diapers (they are extra stuffed for overnight) I keep night time diapers separate for DH to grab easily.
ReplyDeleteNext to my changing area i have a 3 drawer plastic cabinet. The kind they sell when it is back to college time. The top drawer has all my pockets, drawer two has extra prefolds and extra MF, and the bottom drawer has changing pad covers. I keep my wipes in the top drawer of the changing station.
I keep my BG dipes stuffed and ready to go in my son's dresser. He has a dresser/changing table combo, so I try to keep it organized with a small basket containing lotion, diaper cream, bummis liners, hairbrush, etc. That and the wipe warmer are all I keep up there.
ReplyDeleteI am brand new to cloth diapering and so far just have our stash in a bin on the dresser where our changing pad is. I'm just getting used to using CDs and haven't yet purchased any cloth wipes... so this would be amazing to win!!
ReplyDeleteBaby #1 isn't here yet, but we have a dresser with a changing pad and a wipe warmer set up. Then we have all of the pre-stuffed, ready-to-go dipes in the top drawer and all of the prefolds and inserts in the next drawer down. Still building the stash though!
ReplyDeleteI stuff them with a newborn liner and put them in the top drawer of her changing table so they're ready when we need them.
ReplyDeleteI have mine on a shelf. One stack for covers, one for microfiber inserts, one for prefolds, one for hemp doublers. Depending what time of day it is, I grab the right combination and assemble a diaper. I've found this to be easier than pre-stuffing and trying to keep them sorted!
ReplyDeletewe store ours in a drawer in the changing table. we keep our cloth wipes in an old wipe container by the sink. This set up seems to work well for us.
ReplyDeleteI make ring slings. So I took my design and made it into a hanging diaper organizer. larger than normal, to fit my prefold's in it. I also put numerous pockets on the outside to put snappi's, baby legs, and any diaper cream that I may need. there is also room for covers to store or hang to dry. It is two tiered, so I can fit two size diapers in it since I have two in diapers right now. then I have some AIO's and covers on the diaper changer, and my wipes sit on the top of the changer itself.
ReplyDeleteOur dipes are in the laundry rm closet since our changing station is on the dryer. We also use a wipes warmer and cloth wipes on a shelf above the dryer with a lg plastic trash can with a flip lid for the dirty ones.
ReplyDeleteLoving cloth diapering. We moved our 1 year old over a couple weeks ago and plan to do so with our newborn pretty soon. With two in cloth diapers, I have them stacked by size on the counter in our living room where we spend a bulk of our time. I also keep one or two in the bathroom for changing dirty diapers. It's not very sophisticated, but it works for us.
ReplyDeleteI keep the diapers in the top drawer of a dresser. The changing pad is on the top of that dresser. I stack all the Flip inserts in the front, with all the covers next to them, and then the wipes next to that. I then put the BGs and Elementals behind the Flips. The Flips are the every daily use diapers, so I need them close at hand. I hang the squirt bottle on the drawer pull. In the second drawer of the dresser I keep the hemp inserts, extra BG inserts, extra wetbags, etc.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, though, I just use everything straight out of the laundry basket. :D
For the baby they are in the top drawer of the changing table with the bg cloth wipes in a small basket on the side of the table. I have a coffee carafe filled with hot water to wet them. The toddler's diapers are stacked in a pile on the floor next to a basket that contains wipes. I keep these next to his bed where I change him most.
ReplyDeleteIn the diaper stacker. Wipes in a wipe container. It's absolutely no different than with disposables.
ReplyDeleteMy clean diapers are kept in a basket beside my couch. We have never really used a changing table or anything. The basket just has her diapers and wipes and are always easily accessible for a quick change!
ReplyDeleteI have a corner changing table with shelving underneath and I store the clean BG's in a decorative bin right next to my cloth wipes and homemade dipe solution. So glad I found this option and would never go back to disposables
ReplyDeleteI hang my bg 4.0 shells on the top bunk of the baby's room, which does not have a mattress on it and store my inserts in a big Tupperware on top of the changing table. He is too wiggly for the changing table nowadays so he gets changed in the crib. I keep my homemade cloth wipes in a bucket by the spray bottle of wipe solution.
ReplyDeleteI stuff and fold them into one of those canvas boxes (I don't have too many diapers). And my changing area is just a changing pad on the floor, so all my changing needs are on the floor next to the tv. =)
ReplyDeleteThe changing area is on top of my daughters dresser. I keep one drawer full of diapers. I have a basket on top of the dresser with wipes, spray bottle, lotions, flannel liners, etc. Clean diapers that do not fit in the drawer are kept in a shelf in her closet
ReplyDeleteWe use a soft storage unit for our diapers since our "changing station" is the floor. Our almost 10 month old is starting to walk now so a table is useless
ReplyDeleteOur clean diapers go in the drawers of the changing table, organized by type. It takes the top two drawers. Our table is big enough for the pad on one side, and then the wipe wash container, wipes and lotions/snappis/creams next to it.
ReplyDeleteMy baby isn't home yet so I have no idea if my system is going to stay in place or not! My changing table is a dresser my great grandfather made. I have the top drawers filled with extra diapers/wipes. I have a basket next to the changing pad with diapers/inserts and wipes. And there is a wetbag for used diapers next to the changing station.
ReplyDeleteI dont' have a changing area. We just use the floor. But I keep my clean diapers in little pull out bins in my son's room.
ReplyDeleteRight now my cloth diapers are stored in a big bag waiting for our 4th baby to be born!! ;)
ReplyDeleteDiapers (BG Elementals) go in a bin on a shelf under the changing table with the most recently washed ones on the bottom to keep the stash from wearing out at different rates. Doublers (Hemp Babies and Sbish bamboo) go in a smaller bin next to that. Diapers I rarely use (and need to sell!) go in another large bin next to that. Wipes are stacked dry on top of the changing table, with a few wipes at a time wet and in a little bowl ready for use.

We have a large wicker basket that we use for our clean ones, and we fold them and stack them in piles of inserts, doublers, covers, etc. (I love cloth diapers and tend to buy them when i see cute new patterns, etc!) And then I have my cloth wipes (made by me) in a smaller basket with wipes solution in a spray bottle. It works for us!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy clean diaper are all stored in canvas baskets on my changing table! Everything is right at hands reach. Creams/wipes/wipe solution are all in the drawer right under the changing pad, and the shelves under the drawer are where my canvas baskets sit!
ReplyDeleteI use a cloth bin and a drawer in the changing table for cloth diaper storage. The bin holds all my pockets. The drawer is home to AI2's covers, preolds, and fleece liners. All my dipes get organized by brand:)
ReplyDeleteI don't use a changing table, I just change her on my bed, the floor, or the couch. I keep a stack of clean, stuffed diapers upstairs on top of her dresser and another stack downstairs in the living room, in a small cabinet/end table.
ReplyDeleteI store all the cloth diapering supplies on the changing table. Bottom shelf has a bucket of inserts and a basket of socks, underwear, snappies, and other miscellaneous items. Second shelf has the prefolds on one side and a plastic drawer full of pockets, covers, and AIO's on the other side.
ReplyDeletei stuff my BGOS pockets when they come out of the dryer. i keep them in a zippered tote bag - this keep the little ones from oulling them out and strewing them around the house, they love to play with the clean dipes. the bag is usually somewhere in the living room. i don't have an established "changing area". i use the couch, bed, ottoman, or floor....whatever is most convenient at the time. wipes are either in the tote bag with the dipes or on the side table in the living room. i have 2 drawers in the kids' bedroom to store extra dipes, mostly prefolds, extra inserts, and a few kissaluvs fitteds that only get used occasionally.
ReplyDeleteWe keep our diapers prestuffed and stacked in the diaper drawer... when they're clean & stuffed, that is. I think we operate out of the clean laundry basket as often as we do the diaper drawer. Homemade cloth wipes are stored wet in the wipe wsrmet
ReplyDeleteI have a big plastic tote in my room that all of his diapers that are being used are kept. All of the larger sizes not in use yet are in plastic crates under his crib.
ReplyDeleteI keep my clean diapers in our the pack n play bassinet. On the bottom it has these fabric shelf things. That's where I keep my prefolds, wipes, and covers stacked. In the bassinet part I keep my pocket diapers (stuffed with inserts), my flats, and my fleece liners.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a changing station - I like to change my daughter on a mat on the floor. I use all cloth wipes and a solution from a spray bottle. I love cloth wipes because I use wipes for everything - not just for diaper changes. To wipe up a drooly baby, to wipe off hands, to clean a messy face. If I used sposie wipes we'd be going through a ton, but this way we don't create any waste! LOVE them!
I have a plastic three drawer unit that I have my son's diapers in. We use BG 3.0s so, I have the shells in one drawer, the inserts in the next drawer, and the doublers in the last drawer. I have a few cloth wipes that I store in a bin under the changing table with a spray bottle to wet them. This set up has worked great for us for more than 2 years! I can't wait to use BG4.0s for our next child due in August!!
ReplyDeleteI have two in diapers. The newborns diapers are stored in the cabinet of the changing table. I use the white diapers for night time so they are to one side already double stuffed. The day time diapers are all the colored diapers to the other side. The changing pad has a pocket where I keep his hair brush, nail clippers. etc. To the side of the changing pad I have lotion and wipes. My two years old's diapers are in his chest of drawers. The top drawer has his diapers and wipes. His pj drawer has his white double stuffed night time diapers.
ReplyDeleteI use baskets below my changing table for clothes, little baskets on a shelf above the changing stand for my wipes and small stuff, and I keep my diapers in a diaper stacker I made to hold three stacks, it is hanging on the wall within easy reach. and my covers are in another stacker on the end of the stand. The dirty diapers go in the diaper pail ( actually just a trash can with a lid:) at the end of the changing stand
ReplyDeleteOur changing station is in the livingroom, blocking the fireplace. My sons diapers are sorted on the 1st shelf of the changing table. Prefolds in one stack, fitteds in one, pockets in one, and doublers stacked at the back. It's not the most asthetically pleasing, but gets the job done.
ReplyDeleteI put my diapers in the closet in our bathroom. I really don't have a place to store them in my daughters room, but I always just change her in the floor anyways ;)I have a plastic wipes container from some disposable wipes for my wipes, I also keep a basket with snappi's wipes cubes/wipes bottle, fleece liners, diaper cream etc. Pockets on the top shelf(since we use those most), fitteds, prefolds, and covers on the second shelf, along with extra inserts and doublers.
ReplyDeleteI keep her BGs stuffed in the top drawer of her dresser/changing table. If I'm feeling motivated I put a liner in there too to make life easier on my husband! I also try to keep a few in my diaper bag so that I'm ready to go. We also have a toy, wipes (we haven't switched to cloth wipes yet) and a nasal aspirator since we're in the midst of some major sniffles.
ReplyDeleteMy changing station is on top of her mirrored dresser, and I store my diapers in pretty floral bins. One has all my pocket, Hybrid, and AIO diapers, and the other one has stay dry liners, extra covers, inserts, and flats. Next to the bins I have our wipe warmer and and CD safe cream. Our hanging wet bag is within arms reach too. Having everything right there makes changing a snap!
ReplyDeleteI have a great little diaper organizing bag I am able to keep about a dozen or more prefold and about 5 covers, my jar of Bordeux butt paste and baby powder, wipes and spray of solution. I keep the rest of my cloth diapers in a basket in the play area for easy access. Because I rent and am not able to have a cloths line, I opted to use the wet bucket method for my diapers. I use warm water and a scoop of oxy clean in my diaper bucket. I use an all natural detergent, oxy clean and vineger in the wash for my prefolds. They smell great and are only a little stained. Once in a while I will run some bleach in the cycle to get them cleaner. I am going to be getting a drying rack for my diapers and putting it in front of the window when I dry them.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 in cloth diapers right now. For my 2 year old I store my BG in a diaper stacker and have it hanging on the changing table. I store my diapers for my 8 month old in the drawer on the changing table. Extra diapers and inserts are stored on the shelf below. I store my cloth wipes in one of the plastic wipes holders. Would love some better ideas and a prize package!! :)
ReplyDeletethegeorgefamily06@gmail.com
After the cloth diapers covers and inserts are washed and dried, I stuff them and snap them to size. Then I put them in a basket. As far as changing area goes, we use the top of her dresser. We have a changing pad, wipes, and lotion on top of the dresser. In the first drawer with have her disposable diapers for when it's time to wash or travel.
ReplyDeleteI have a 3 drawer plastic storage thing that all my fluff is in... I have all my flats kite folded and then trifolded and ready to go in one drawer... with all my covers... Pockets are all stuffed, folded, and ready to go in one drawer... and all the wipes/fleece liners etc... are in another... and I change my son on the floor because he is almost 2 and doesn't stay still long enough to be on a changing table... :c)
ReplyDeleteI was just introduced to cloth diapering this past week since my daughter's skin is too snesitive for disposables, so we are still adjusting. We have a rubbermaid three drawer caddy next to her changing station where I store all of her covers and cloth diapers. eventually I would like to store them in lined baskets on the changing table itself.
ReplyDeleteWe store our BG diapers in a laundry basket and each time we go to use one pull out all the strings or hair that got caught in the velcro tabs. Our changing station is in my daughters room. I store all the cloth wipes in the top drawer, wet bags in the second drawer (the one we are using hangs off the edge of her changing table). I may want to revamp it at some point to make it look cuter but for now it works. :)
ReplyDeleteI actually use the hanging diaper stacker that came with our crib bedding. It hangs on the side of our changing table/dresser and fits up to 18-20 folded AIO's perfectly (and that's the max I have clean at any given time). In one of the cubbies I have a basket that we keep our cloth wipes and kissaluvs lotion potion spray in. Then of course a hairbrush for my 13 month old girly girl. She brushes her hair while I change her diaper...not sure why she has to have her hairbrush, but it sure keeps her hands out of the way!
ReplyDeleteOur diapers are stored in a tall tupperware drawer set. The top holds our pockets, second drawer holds the Flips and covers. Third drawer holds the boosters and extra inserts as well as small wetbags. The bottom drawer has the diapers that don't fit my baby anymore. The rest of my supplies are in a small wire basket on the dresser- creams, liners, snappis, and extra wipes.
ReplyDeleteWell they are supposed to be stored under my daughters changing table, in a cute little box, but usually they just end up on the couch or on top of the changing table because there is no time to get them put away.. and we go through diapers like crazy over here!!
ReplyDeleteWe're still in the process of getting the baby's room together, but my husband's grandfather is building us a 3-drawer dresser that we plan to use as a changing table as well. The top drawer will hold all of our cloth diapering goods for easy access when we are changing. I'm sure it will be a work in progress, but I'm really excited about it.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting some baskets from IKEA to store our cloth diapers and supplies. We also got some wall pockets to store some for an easy reach. We are getting a thermos with a push pump from Target that will keep water warm for 24-48 hrs since we will be storing our wipes dry. That way we will still have warm wipes for our little guys bottom.
ReplyDeleteWe just have a changing pad secured to the top of a dresser--near which we have a hanging diaper organizer nailed to the wall. We store our BGs in there, folded and stuffed and ready to go. We also keep our wipes on the top of the dresser, and everything else in the other pockets of the hanging diaper organizer. (If we change to cloth wipes, I'll have to reorganize a little--maybe get a small basket to put in place of the current wipe container to hold cloth wipes and the spray bottle.
ReplyDeleteI would like to say that my cloth diapers are all wonderfully organized, but sadly that's not the case. I store mine in an old disposable diaper box in our downstairs bathroom, as most of the diaper changing takes place downstairs. We just make two stacks in the box, one of shells, and one with inserts. All of the doublers are kept in our girls room to pop in at their last change. We just change the girls on the floor of our living room, or their room instead of a changing table, as I couldn't lift my first born up to the changing table after the second was born. Works out better for us, as I don't having to worry about my super squirmy toddlers falling off!
ReplyDeleteAfter my BG 4.0s are dry, stuffed and folded, I store them in the top drawer of the changing table that my FIL built for us. Wipes refills are in a slide-out drawer lower down, for when I'm running low in her wipes tub next to the changing pad. It's wonderful that I'm able to have every well organized and stored within easy reach!
ReplyDeleteI store my diapers in dresser drawers. I organize by having wipes and cream on top of the dresser above the drawers. The garbage can is beside the hamper. The diapers go in the hamper and the papertowel wipes go into the garbage. I would love to switch to reusable wipes. I also have diapers, wipes, cream, and a wet bag ready to go in my diaper bag so that it isn't a hassle when I am ready to go.
ReplyDeleteOur changing table is actually an antique dresser. Top drawer has a nicely folded stack of BG wipes, my nb size bg inserts that I add for nigh time diapers and all the random things like pacis, never, thermometers, etc. Middle drawer holds my folded organized BG 3.0s and Elementals. Bottom drawer has prefolds and covers. My homemade wet bag hands either on a drawer nob or the side of the kids' laundry basket.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have decided to start using cloth diapers with our baby (our next step in having less waste in our household), but don't have the money saved up yet to buy them. So, I don't have an organizational strategy yet, but it would sure help to start out with some free wipes!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as my diapers are dry, they get stuffed, folded and usually sorted by color (yes, I am that OCD). I have a storage bin thing that was indented for toys, however, I decided that my diapers fit really nice in there, so the storage bins were re-purposed.
ReplyDeleteI will have Three Kids in diapers in the next month..I would love this Package!
ReplyDeleteI USED TO store my cloth dipes nicely folded on the two shelves beneath the changing table. Then DD learned to walk...and began what I call Wreaking Havoc on the changing table. Everything gets pulled off the shelves, inserts yanked out of pockets, rises unsnapped. :) So now I settle for clean diapers in any stack, pile, etc, as long as they are *near* the changing table, or in a laundry basket nearby. Diapers are always intermixed with stuffed bunnies, hair bands, various articles of (clean) clothing, and possibly a remote control or two.
ReplyDeleteMy newborn dipes for our upcoming boy are on a shelf very high up and nicely folded-- so I can look at them lovingly for a few more weeks before mayhem commences yet again. :)

When I have them all stuffed they reside in two pretty wooden baskets on the top of the chest of drawers!
ReplyDeletewe are a devoted BG family. we have two pink cubbies we use to store our BG's... our changing table is our couch :) my daughter loves to play with here diapers & wipes. so we have made a game out of folding & storing them. I put the cubbies on the floor & then hand her (18 months) each diaper after i have folded it. SHE then decides which cubby to put in ! our wipes are then folded & stored in a reusable bag so they are easily accessible but kept clean from dust & allergens... when it is diaper change time, we let little miss choose her diaper!, she will go the cubbies, point to one and then i will lower it so she can pick her diaper. making her part of the process lessens the resistance we get at changing time :)
ReplyDeleteI find stuffing and them rolling my BGOS diapers is the easiest way for us to store in a basket on the changing area and also for packing the diaper bag. Keeping them rolled up tight (like a jellyroll) seems different from most....but it really works! Wipes are in another basket, and "extra" stuffings and inserts are kept in another:-) Three cute baskets across the table keep it nice and clean looking!
ReplyDeleteLife seems to happen in the living room, not the nursery, so our clean folded BGs are stored in a big basket in the living room. Out in the open and easy to get to! I keep the cloth wipes in a case beside the basket. I kind of like looking at the big, colorful basket of diapers! (:
ReplyDeleteWe use two baskets, one on the changing table and one on the floor. This way we don't have a gigantic pile of diapers on the changing table, just begging to be destroyed. *smile* Most of the time all the diapers are stuffed after being washed, but often we just stuff on demand. Our homemade wipes are stored in a small plastic bag, again a space saver.

ReplyDeleteI store my diapers (stuffed and ready to use) in the drawers of the changing table. The cloth wipes (and homemade wipe solution) is stored in a warmer next to the table.
ReplyDeleteChanging pad goes on top of the dresser. All cloth diapers go into the top drawer for easy access. This includes wipe solution, wipes, Snappis, rash cream, etc. I just fold prefolds and fitted diapers in half, store them on the right side of drawer; covers in the middle; wipes solution and Snappis on the left so it goes in order. Diaper pail sits right behind me so I just turn and throw in when done. Very easy.
ReplyDeleteWe just keep them on the shelf under the changing table, though there's a pile of ones that she doesn't fit in yet between the changing table and the side wall. Since our condo is tiny, it's no big deal to walk into our bedroom where the changing table is to change her.
ReplyDeleteI store our diapers in a cupboard in play room. Although to be honest somedays I stuff and use fresh from dryer. Mmmm, nothing better then warm, soft diaper first thing in the morning- happy baby:)
ReplyDeleteLike many others, I have a changing pad on top of a dresser with the wipe warmer next to it. I stuff/fold the clean diapers and place them in the top drawer so they're convenient. I fold the cloth wipes over each other and put them in the wipe warmer (that warms from the top) with about 1/2 cup water and a drop of tea tree and lavender oil. I can easily pull the wipes out one by one and never have had a mold problem. I only have about 15 of them, so I go through them pretty fast.
ReplyDeleteI am the most unorganized of them all...to save a little time, I don't waste it stuffing and folding - I keep the shells in one basket, pads in another, and stuff them as I use them...keeps me sane! Everything else gets thrown into a drawer on under the changing table, and dirty wipes go straight into the (I know the irony here) diaper genie!
ReplyDeleteI haven't started cloth yet (baby is due any day) and have a feeling my organization system isn't going to work as well as I think it will.
ReplyDeleteFor now, I have two long organizers with three dividers in them. I have my NB diapers in one, organized by type. NB/small pockets, NB small covers, NB small fitteds. The other holds diapering accessories, like my Snappis, pins, bottom spray, etc. Then I have two huge drawers with my NB and small prefolds in them. I also have another organizer and the bottom cubby of that is filled with covers, contours, hybrids, and fitteds that she will grow into. Then we have an over the door organizer with her OS pockets and larger AIOs/sized pockets.
I cant use my changing station so everything is stored on it i have a basket with my prefolds in it and my wipes and liners folded up next to it its convenent for us since we just change our daughter on our bed we are a little cramped for space.
ReplyDeleteI'm NOT a very organized person. lol so when I bring my drying rack inside with diapers on it, they tend to stay on the rack out of my toddlers reach for a while. I sit down with my pile-o-diapes and stuff them all and place them in a few neat piles on an ottoman (that is next to our couch), has become a designated diaper spot. They'll stay there until my 20 month old daughter strays them all over the living room, or steals them for her dolls.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for changing area.... a clean spot on the rug or a blanket does the trick for us. With 3 kids and 2 in diapers....NOTHING in our house stays clean OR organized!
I use a pocket shoe hanger on the back of the door for my AIO's and pockets. The covers, wipes, prefolds, inserts, and nighttime diapers are in separate baskets under the changing table. Although, I will admit, the clean diapers are in a laundry basket right now. Some days, they just don't get put away.
ReplyDeleteI stuff my 4.0s once they're dry. I keep them (sorted by color) in a basket on our changing table.
ReplyDeleteI store my clean Bum Geniuses in a lime green storage box (purchased at Target) in the changing table cabinet. The table isn't organized in any particular way. Bum Genius Odor remover spray is in the bathroom where diapers are rinsed out and the diaper pail is located.
ReplyDeleteI have a changing table with 4 boxes underneath--2/child. 1 box is filled with the AIOs and covers and the other with prefolds. To my left is a rather utilitarian 2-tiered shelf with my wipes and wipes solution and sundry items.
ReplyDeleteI use baskets! One for prefolds, one for covers, and a smaller one for cloth wipes. They're all on the first shelf on our changing table, within easy reach. On the second shelf, I have a basket with pocket diapers and doublers for overnights.
ReplyDeleteI store my cloth diapers in a diaper stacker attached to the wall above the changing table. In our bedroom, I have a basket full of them. We usually prep the diapers in our bedroom and it's the only other place we change diapers, so the basket stays in our room. Other items on top of our changing table are a wipes warmer and a couple of canvas storage bins. Those hold everything from lotion and powder to baby barrettes. Extra containers of wipes and changing pad covers are on the shelves below the changing area along with a couple more canvas storage bins. My husband built our changing table, so we probably have more storage space than others.
ReplyDeleteWe keep our changing table in the bathroom so we can be close to the diaper sprayer and the sink to wet cloth wipes. We have all of our diapers on the changing table shelves and we keep our wipes and bottom spray in a small basket on the chaging table, We just use a trash can with a pail liner as a diaper pail. We also have a shelf above the changing table to store our rash cream and all of the other little things that I want to keep out of our toddlers reach.
ReplyDeleteHelpful hint: you can put a long peice of velcro on your changing table (or on the shelf like I did) and if you have diaper covers with hook and loop you can hang them on the strip of velcro to hang and dry out for the next diaper change!
Our diapers are stored in a small dresser in the living room. We change on the floor, so there is a small basket under our end table with coconut oil, wipes, etc. The diaper pail is in the kitchen away from my curious 2 year old. :)
ReplyDeleteRight now we live in a two-story townhouse and with a wiggly, rolling 4 month old, I never want to leave her out of my sight, so her room upstairs is the main storage area. I bought a small 3 drawer-dresser that has wheels because we came from a ranch-style home and the wheels made it so easy to just roll the dresser to whichever room we were in. Now the dresser stays upstairs and I store all her inserts and doublers in the first drawer; her stuffed, OS pocket diapers in the second; and her prefolds, econobum covers and bioliners in the third drawer. This is where her official changing table is and I just leave the dresser right by the table and I can reach everything in it while keeping a hand on my squirmy little lady's belly.
ReplyDeleteThen, I make a diaper caddy that I bring downstairs with me. Inside I put several options for the day, but the staples are 2 econobums and their prefolds, a gDiaper with an extra snap-in liner and some gDiaper biodegradable liners. I also have my wipes and homemade wipe spray, bioliners, hand sanitizer and a waterproof mat so I can change her anywhere downstairs.
I actually use cloth wipes, but just started so I am currently just using her old baby washcloths.
The caddy system has worked out so nicely for me because I have everything I need right with me at all times. I also find a random emergency toy or two in the caddy that I use in case my daughter isn't in the mood to stay still. My caddy is a little on the big side, but I liked to be prepared. I just bought a nice plastic bin from Walmart to serve as my bin, but I know some ladies use actual baskets or colorful fabric bins. It is all up to you!

I keep my prefolds folded in a stack and the covers/pocket diapers in a bin on one shelf of my changing table. I have a 3 yo that is almost potty trained and a 3 mo old, so the shelf is consumed with diapers. The changing table is next to my built-in vanity, so it doubles as a changing storage area. It's where I keep my cloth wipes, lotions, diaper ointment, and diaper bin. One of these days I'll have my vanity back, but I'm sure it will be bittersweet!
ReplyDeleteI'm so embarrassed to post that I do not have mine organized at all. They are in a cardboard box in the closet and I keep a few of them on the bottom shelf of the changing table. I think I might head out to Babies R Us this weekend and buy another basket to keep them in though.
ReplyDeleteI try to keep ours in the top drawer of the changing table but that doesn't happen very often. I am going to get more organized with this because #2 is going to be here in May and having 2 in diapers I must have some organization with the changing area.
ReplyDeleteWe use a dresser as a changing table. I store my dipes in the drawers...organized by type. I use mostly tri-folded prefolds and covers with fleece liners and I try to 'stuff' them ahead of time. If that happens, I lay them in the very top smaller drawer so they're all ready to go! :) On top of the dresser I have a small basket that holds my dry cloth wipes, my two little spray bottles with wipe solution, and then my cornstarch powder. My cloth wipes HAVE to be folded or, for some reason, I go nuts. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!!! :)
We use pre fold so I just lay them out flat in 2 stacks next to each other in the top drawer of his dresser/changing table! On top og one of the stacks I lay out they covers in a pile and some fleece inverts in another pile!!!
ReplyDeleteI bought a hanging sweater shelf from Target for like $5. I lay it horizontally across a shelf and have 4 openings. Flats go in one, large prefolds and fitted go in the next, then newborn prefolds (doublers) and covers, and finally pocket dipes in the last. Changing pads, box of cloth wipes, and spray sit on the shelf next to them.
ReplyDeleteAfter a dipe is changed it either gets "dunked and swished" (poop) or straight back to the clothes line on the back porch to air out (pee).
My son's clean diapers are folded in half and put in the top drawer of his changing table/dresser. I keep pockets in one line, fitteds in another, and then pre-folded flats with doublers in a stack on the far right. His wool pants are just in his regular pants clothes drawer! The wipes and spray sit on a bookshelf next to the table, ready to go! I keep snappis on the bookcase as well as some CJ's diaper cream in case he gets a little red somewhere. Pretty simple!

After I stuff my diapers. I either leave themon the drying rack or bring them downstairs where I have two small organizers on the changing table to keep things neat.
ReplyDeleteI use a sterilite 3-drawer storage container next to my changing table. In the top drawer I keep inserts, doublers, and covers. Middle drawer has prefolds and bottom drawer has stuffed pockets and AIOs. The wipe warmer and a few prefolds sit on top of the changing table. I keep my wipe solution, air freshener, and coconut oil (for his tushy) high on a shelf next to changing table and out of reach of my little guy.
ReplyDeletetracie577@gmail.com
I stuff my diapers and store them in canvas bins. I store the day time diapers on one side and night on the other. I have another bin that I keep wipes, wipe solution, and diaper ointment in. I love seeing my diapers all clean lined up nice and neat in a rainbow of colors! :)
ReplyDeleteI bought an old dresser that doubles as my changing table. All my diapers and wipes are in the top drawer. I only use pockets, so they're just stuffed, snapped up, and lined up real pretty (usually by color) :) I have a container of wipe solution on top of the dresser and dunk them in as needed. It works great!
ReplyDeleteI store my clean diapers in a big basket. The changing table is organized with the diapers on the bottom shelf and wipes above it on the top shelf.
ReplyDeleteI use a sterilite drawer on the floor in the living room and store our cloth wipes in an old Huggies tub. I think its time to move to a sterilite cart though, our 1 drawer is overflowing haha
ReplyDeleteWe have twins in cloth diapers so we have to have a pretty decent sized stash. We have a changing table with two drawers. The top drawer holds prefolds and covers. The bottom drawer holds AIO and pocket diapers. We also have a caddy next to the changing table with more covers and contour diapers. We recently found out that one of the twins is allergic to commercial wipes so we are now building a stash of cloth wipes.
ReplyDeleteWe use a dresser as our changing table and keep all the diapers and doublers that we use each day in the top drawer with extras and flat diapers in another drawer. Wipes all just sit in the basket on top along with wipe solution and lotions, etc. -- stuff we are constantly using with our little one.
ReplyDeleteMy son's dresser is the changing table and has a cabinet attached where I store dipes. Prefolds are already folded in thirds the way I would lay them in a Flip cover. Next to those, I have a stack of microfiber inserts (as I seem to have more inserts than pockets somehow) and next to those are AIOs. On the bottom shelf I have toddler size prefolds that I use as on top of the changing pad, and miscellaneous other odds and ends. Stuffed pocket dipes never really get stored because they migrate from the day care diaper bag, to the wet bag, to the wash, and then hanging in the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm probably not much help!
Thanks for the giveaway.

We store the clean diapers in the plastic zipper bag that the boppy pillow came it. It fits them perfectly and keeps them tidy and in one place. Of course, this is only if we are able to put them away. Most often they are unsorted/unfolded either in the dryer or in a laundry basket.
ReplyDeleteI am a very organized person...sometimes it's a bad thing! I store all my BGs (that's all we use) stuffed and ready to go in the order they have been washed in the top drawer of my daughter's changing table. On the top of the changing table I have a large bin that holds all of the cloth wipes, regular wipes, lotions, and spray bottle. Although I can be overly organized, it makes changing time very convenient.
ReplyDeletejclarke0831@yahoo.com
My daughter's changing table is on top of her dresser. The top dresser drawer stores all the diapers. Wipes, wipe spray and diaper creams go in a basket on top of the table. Covers that are waiting to be reused hang on hooks. The diapers in the top drawer are organized by kind. From right to left: Nighttime pocket diapers on the far left, then day time pockets, AIO's, fitted diapers and then stacked prefolds. I keep changing pad covers and used back up diapers for use with diaper ointment in the back of the drawer.
ReplyDeleteI used to have open wire shelving next to the changing table but then the baby informed me that he can reach the shelves from his crib and thereby empty out all the wipes and dump baby powder all over everything.
ReplyDeleteSo now the open shelves with bins on it are in the closet.
We use a dresser from Ikea, and my diapers take up the top drawer. They are prestuffed and stored according to how much stuffing they have (NB, coubler, nighttime stuffing, etc).
ReplyDeleteThe changing pad is on top with non-skid mat underneath. We keep a spray bottle, wipes, saline & aspirator, and hand sanitizer on the top as well. And, of course, her favorite giraffe toy.
I store my cloth diapers in a diaper stacker. It works out perfectly. I do not use cloth wipes yet but would sure love to win some to try out. I organize the rest of her changing table by having small wicker baskets on the shelves.
ReplyDeleteUntil I stuff them, the diapers are stored on the drying rack since I don't put them in the dryer! Once they are dry and stuffed, they are kept on the changing table shelf.
ReplyDeleteWe have had a few different systems over the 16 months we've been cloth diapering. We started out with a pack and play with a built in changing station. The baby never slept in the pack and play bassinet part so it was used for diaper storage. Then she outgrew that so we moved to our dresser top. One top drawer held wipes and supplies, the other held diapers. THEN we got a little nervous with her moving around so much on the dresser top that we just moved a days worth of prefolds and flip covers to a basket that we can put on the bed or the couch. All the while we've had a few shelves of a built in hall closet for storage of diapers we aren't currently using. We have a dozen or two of probably every prefold size out there. It is great to be able to customize how much diaper you want inside your cover as the baby grows and absorbancy needs change.
ReplyDeletejjstroz@iland.net
I store mine in a laundry basket below my changing table, with other items in two baskets on the middle shelf. Easy-peasy!
ReplyDeleteI store my diapers in the dresser - I have three drawers. One holds the night diapers, and the other two hold the regular diapers. My cloth wipes are in an old wipes case that I decorated.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an awesome giveaway! I have been dying to try the BG wipes solution. Plus the bottle looks great for on-the-go use.
ReplyDeleteOh the cloth diaper organization is one of my favorite things. I have separate pink canvas bins I use. 1 for prefolds. One for covers. One for AIO's and One for Pockets. One for inserts. And one for Misc (Snappi's etc) Plus another to store wipes and wipe solution (homemade). I use the dry method.

This is my second full day of using cloth, and I only have about 8 pocket diapers and a bunch of prefolds. I'm starting to build up my pocket diapers, because they are a blast and 8 is just not enough, so I'm still trying to get the hang of things. Right now, everything fits on one shelf of my changing table. I have the prefolds on one side, with the covers and snappies in a basket next to them. Then my pocket diapers pre-stuffed (night time ones double stuffed) are in the middle and organized by the brand I like (bumGenius is my night time, because it's the best). And then comes my burp rags. I would love to get rid of my prefolds (seeing as they don't fit very good at all), and have all pocket diapers and start using cloth wipes.
ReplyDeleteI have a 3 drawer Iris unit in the closet. Top drawer fits the microfiber inserts and shells and Gerber washcloths (use warm water from sink to make a wipe wet.) The middle drawer has infant prefolds and red edged GMD and fitteds. The third contains toddler prefolds. I stuff my diapers based off need, so they are never prestuffed. Sometimes, they sit in a laundry basket.
ReplyDeleteBrand new to CD. Been exclusively cloth for a few days now with DS who is almost 6 weeks old. I have a good organization system for us down. After I wash, I prestuff all our bG 4.0s, fold them over, and store them in their own wicker basket under our changing table. My flips go in their own wicker basket as well and both baskets have a handy little chalkboard in front so I can label everything for DH. We don't own cloth wipes yet (just ordered some and they're on their way) but we'll store those in our Prince Lionheart wipes warmer and finally get rid of the disposable wipes.
ReplyDeleteAll of our clean diapers get stuffed and stacked in a bin in the living room. There is no point in organizing them by type or color as my 2 year old son picks which dipey he wants to wear at each change. Wipes and disposable Flip inserts are kept underneath the table that the bin sits on so everything is within reach for my son to help with his own changes, which is great for his growing sense of independence!
ReplyDeleteJennifer T- After our diapers are all clean I prep them so they are all ready to be worn. We organize by type of diaper, closure and color. We put them in the fabric bins and put them on the changing table shelves. In the first bin is our bg 3.0s then the bg 4.0s and then our thirsties, flip and econobum covers. In 2nd bin is flip inserts, prefolds, econbum prefolds and hemp inserts. In the 3rd bin is our flushable liners, disposable flip inserts, regular baby wipes and any creams we need for our dd. I will have to change our organization a bit since baby #2 will be here soon and will need more room. We dont have cloth wipes yet but would be very interested in trying some :)
ReplyDeleteWe have always been changing table users, so we keep all baby's stuffed BG's stacked on the the shelf of changing table. They look so cute and add extra color to the nursery. We have a sailboat theme in his room so above the changing table hangs a boat with shelves which holds the rest of changing needs, wipes etc... We have not tried the cloth wipes yet, we were still using the disposable wipes, however, our son has recently had some issues with rash so thinking we need to give the cloth wipes a try.
ReplyDeleteI have a 3 drawer sterlite container and some fabric drawers that go with a closetmaid system. I store her pockets, bg AIOs, and covers in the sterlite drawers in her room, and I keep one of the fabric drawers downstairs full of prefolds to use during the day. I have two of the fabric drawers on the bottom shelf of her changing table with items that she can't quite fit into yet. I hope I win! I don't have any cloth wipes and I really want to try them!!

We have our diapers (BG 4.0's) stuffed and in the top drawer of the changing table. We keep our cloth wipes in the warmer on top next to the changing pad. Any extras like creams, lotions, etc are in the cabinet of the changing table in a basket. We use a hanging wet bag as our diaper pail which hangs on the door knob. It works very well for us.
ReplyDeletejplymes@gmail.com
I have a cute yellow fabric bin that is devoted to clean diapers. Post-wash, I fold them and my extra pail liner and store them there. We don't have a dedicated changing table, so I tend to use our bed with a mat under my son (16 months). I just keep the bin on the floor at night and then leave it on the bed during the day so everything is in reach. I hope I win the giveaway because I want to dry using cloth wipes. I was actually on the chat last night asking questions about it!
ReplyDeleteWe have 2 in diapers (once again) and have 2 separate stashes. My 2.5 year old has a basket on a shelf in his closet with his diapers - all pockets are prestuffed and the stash is mostly organic AIOs and the deluxe AIOs. His diaper pail and baskets of wipes are in the bathroom, as most of his changes occur in there since we are trying to incorporate potty time with diaper changes.
ReplyDeleteMy 3 week old has a changing table with baskets underneath, and a shelf above with stacks of prefolds for the Flip covers, and we are using BG AIOs both organics and the small AIOs. I've learned to stuff all pockets and covers with inserts or PFs before hand to save time. We use a little bottle with wipe solution and cloth wipes for him as well, keep in a little fabric basket hanging near his changing table.
You can find some great storage solutions at IKEA.
The toddler's diapers are stored inside a cabinet with two shelves. There are two open bins, one with cloth wipes and one with covers (and also underwear now that she's potty training) and two lidded rubbermaid containers, one with her prefolds and one with her bumGenius diapers.
ReplyDeleteThe baby's diapers are stored beneath her changing table. There are two containers for prefolds, one for wipes, and one large for her bumGenius diapers.
All prefolds are folded in half and then trifolded and stacked. Cloth wipes are neatly stacked. The bumGenius... just kinda get thrown in in a jumble of covers and inserts to be stuffed as needed. ;)
In our son's room, we have repurposed a lot of furniture - we did not see the need to spend money or create more waste. We have a long dresser that we use as a dresser and changing table. On top of the dresser there is the changing pad, and the wipes with a bucket for them. I have an old bookcase that my grandfather made me when I was a kid, that is short but long. So we hung that up above the dresser. All of the prefolds are organized by type and to the left, all of the covers are also organized by type in the middle, and the BG 3.0's are on the right hand side. That is on the bottom shelf. On the top shelf of the bookcase, we have all of the accessories and the disposable flip inserts in cute little baskets.
ReplyDeleteWe used to have everything thrown together, but that was getting way too messy. And with a second baby on the way, we have to keep it organized to fit everything. Plus, everything is within reach, so as my 10 1/2 month old decides to roll around and sit up, I don't have to worry about juggling everything.
I keep all the prefolds and covers on the changing table shelf. My BG and other pockets in an ikea cloth basket on the shelf and my dresser has 2 drawers full too. I love doing diaper laundry. But not regular laundry.
ReplyDeleteWe use a dresser as a changing table - so the top drawer is full of stuffed pocket diapers. I have a basket full of cloth wipes, rash treatments, and the like that I sit on top next to the changing pad.
ReplyDeleteWe have a changing table with open shelves and a sliding drawer. We store our wipes in the sliding drawer, and our dipes in low totes on the shelves. We just use water in a spray bottle to clean my son's bottom, and that just hangs off the side of the table. Super easy and convenient!
ReplyDeleteMy son is getting a little big for the changing table now, so I think I'll move the totes to a book shelf soon and start changing him on the floor.
I am obsessed with keeping my daughter's diapers organized! I store the clean diapers on built in shelves which are adjacent to the changing station.
ReplyDeleteI trifold the prefolds and then fold them in half again and stack them up on one shelf.
Fitteds go on another shelf, oranized by color. I stuff my BG AIO's with hemp and stack them up by color as well. I also have a shelf for Flips inserts and other random inserts and doublers.
On the changing station I have a basket with wipe warmer/cloth wipes on one side and PUL diaper covers on the other side (also arranged by color). On the wall above the basket is a little shelf where I keep all the lotions/ointments/snappies, etc. (nicely out of reach of little hands) plus a squeeze bottle of water to dampen the wipes before they go into the warmer.
Wool and fleece longies/soakers are stored in a cubby next to the diaper shelves.
I love the shelf system because it's so easy to keep organized, everything is within arm's reach and I don't need to search for what I need. Plus, I just love looking at all the pretty diapers :)

I have a wide variety of cloth diapers - that is one of my favorite things about cloth. I love trying new diapers and I love each type for different reasons. I stuff my pocket diapers and keep them on the shelf of my changing table. I keep my prefolds in a diaper hanger on the side of my table. Then I have two bins. One has all the extra inserts I have and the other has my flips and night time diapers. I store my wipes in an old disposable wipe container with some homemade wipe solution. I have to refill this about every other day.

I keep my BG's in a closet vertical organizer, distributed by type- pockets, and AIOs. I also use Flips that I keep nearby her changing table. I have a small organizer with cloth wipes, a bottle of homemade solution and some flip inserts.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try the BG wipes!
We've got our stacks in the top corner of a 3x3 shelving unit. The wipe warmer is on top of the changing table/dresser. However, the coolest thing we have is our changing station box in the living room - it's converted from a wine box and holds a wipe box, BG 3.0s, some burp cloths, a back up Boppy cover and a mini powder bottle. All the essentials for when you don't want to go upstairs!
ReplyDeleteI have a basket on top of my daughter's dresser where I store her wipes, lotion, antibacterial hand gel and a nice neat row of her cloth diapers. We only use BGs, so I put the snaps in the basket for use at home, I prep a few nighttime diapers (with hemp inserts) and put them in one of her dresser drawers, along with the aplix diapers (for daycare), miscellaneous inserts and my spare wet bags. I really like my system, and it's easy for my husband to figure out, too!
ReplyDeleteWe have a pretty casual routine: My daughter's nightstand has a shelf on it which holds her inserts. The drawer to the nightstand holds wipes, A&D ointment, nail clippers, brush, etc. There's a basket next to the night stand that holds her covers. There's a small plush rug in front of the night stand that we use as a changing station. I love getting on the floor with my baby girl! Who needs a changing table? :)
ReplyDeleteI am a very organized person lol. I have rubbermaid drawers that I keep my covers, pockets, inserts, pail liners and wetbags, and accessories like snappis and pins in(all in seperate drawers. I also have plastic baskets on the changing table shelves that hold out prefolds and wipes and flat diapers.
ReplyDeleteanw1107@aol.com
I store all my diapers in 2 large bins on the shelf of the changing table. On the other shelf I have smaller bins of inserts and liners. Next to the changing table I have a small nightstand that houses all the small things (wipes, solution, creams, etc.). Pretty soon I'll have to reorganize because I'm running out of room!
ReplyDeleteJhull at m dot Marywood dot edu
Well, my nightstand has been converted to our changing station. It houses a Prince Lionheart wipe warmer and wipes (borrowed from a friend), a stack of prefolds, and a stack of pocket diapers. There's a trash can with a Blueberry pail liner next to that. Pretty simple. I would love some cloth wipes of my own - especially since my friend is pregnant again and will be needing hers back very soon!
ReplyDeleteOur changing table has two large shelves under the actual table. On it we keep our BGs and Flips as well as our disposable Flip inserts. We also keep burp cloths, wipes, receiving blankets, and swaddlers on the shelves. Changing is a breeze because everything is so accessible!
ReplyDeleteI neatly stack my cloth diapers in the top drawer of my changing table/dresser. Someone bought me a diaper depot, so I stack fleece liners and diaper doublers in the two spaces that would usually hold disposable diapers. On the top of the diaper depot, I put a disposable wipes container full of cloth wipes. They are folded according to this video to get a "pop-up" effect: http://dirtydiaperlaundry.com/how-to-fold-cloth-wipes-for-a-pop-up-effect/

Our changing station is my old desk, and it doesn't have any drawers (boo). So I have two large baskets underneath with the cloth she's grown out of/doesn't fit into yet, and a tall bookshelf to the right with smaller baskets. It's organized by wipes, fitteds, AIOs/pockets, prefolds/covers, and overnight options. Have to keep it that way so that the hubby knows what's going on. :)
ReplyDeletewe are just now entering the world of cloth diapers and cloth wipes. we are expecting our little one to arrive in may! i am still working on our nursery, but for now i am using a 2 drawer nightstand to hold our CD's. I am hoping to have a basket sitting at our changing area to hold clean CD's, but will still use the night stand to hold the rest. with this basket, i will be able to carry it around the house so i won't have to go to the nursery everytime baby needs changed!!
ReplyDeleteWe have a dresser turned changing table that has plenty of room for my variety of diapers. Top shelf has shallow baskets to store wipes and other diapering essentials. We organize diapers by type and store the ones less used in the bottom drawer.
ReplyDeleteI store our cloth diapers in a changing table/dresser combo. All the drawers are dedicated to cloth diapers, disposable liners, wool, and wipes. I keep brands together and keep my newborn son's separate from my almost 2 year old daughters. He can't wear her OS diapers yet anyway. It works really well for us because we have a separate dresser for each of the kids' clothes.
ReplyDeleteWe store our diapers stuffed and ready to go in a drawer under the changing pad. A basket on the dresser holds wipes and other necessities, including a toy to keep little hands occupied instead of exploring. ;)
ReplyDeleteI pre-stuff my pockets and then I store them all in teh bottom drawer of my daughter's dresser where her changing table is. I put all the wipes and accessories next to it in a 3 drawer plastic container. It works for me!
ReplyDeleteI store our BG's in our dressing table/dresser drawers, stuffed and ready for use. I can't wait to try cloth wipes, I have an empty top drawer just waiting for them!
ReplyDeleteI use a towel shelf like the one in the middle in the picture here: http://www.walmart.com/ip/OIA-Metro-Bathroom-Storage-Set/15776055
ReplyDeleteI bought various sized canvas storage totes from target and the dollar tree and store the diapers and extra items next to the changing table. I also have blankets and and sheets and extra diapers stored under the changing table.

I store my cloth diapers on my changing table. We use baskets on the shelves and each type of diaper has its own basket. On the side of the changing table I have a wipe holder and shelves for my spray, liners and creams. I have a wet bucket and a trash bucket right aside it.
ReplyDeleteI keep all of my cloth diapers in the top drawer of our changing table. On the top of the changing table, I keep a basket with the cloth wipes, flushable liners, and diaper cream. I have a spray bottle with water and a little baby wash and baby oil sitting next to the basket.
ReplyDeleteOur changing area is on to of a dresser. we store all of the diapers in the top drawer. On top of the dresser there is a changing pad, a basket with diaper covers, and a basket of wipes. Very easy!
ReplyDeleteWe keep our son's BGs in one drawer of his dresser, which was made by a family member with the wood from a tree of our son's Great-Grandparents' farm. We keep our flannel wipes handy in a basket on the top of the changing table area, right next to our favorite cleaner, the Kissaluvs Lotion Potion.

ReplyDeleteMy storage area is a cloth basket. I have the prefolds rolled up, pockets stuffed and folded, and the wipes in a baggy in the middle. We just do changes on the floor. I gave up on my changing table 4 kids ago LOL. A simple basket and the floor saves time and space for us.
ReplyDeleteWe live in a really small cabin, so organization is key for us! I have 3 baskets that sit on the dresser. The first is for all pocket and all in ones (loaded and ready to go). The second basket is for prefolds and waterproof covers. The third is for snappies and extra inserts. Works well for us so far.
ReplyDeleteI have a laundry basket on a chair next to my changing table. It's divided: 2/3 is my bumGenius stash in a fabric box and next to that I throw all my nighttime fitteds. I hang my wool covers over the edge of the laundry basket to dry/air when I'm not using them. My stack of emergency prefolds is on the shelf under the changing table.
ReplyDeleteI plan to keep all my clean diapers in a set of four baskets that I have on the shelves of my changing table. They will be organized by day time use vs night time and preped and ready to go. In a little hanging cubby on the changing table I'll keep my wipes spray and in the drawer will be the wipes.

I stuff all my clean bumGenius pocket diapers and deposit them into the large drawer next to the changing table. To be honest they're pretty haphazard in there. But all the colors mixed together is quite a pleasant sight to see! We keep our homemade cloth wipes in the bathroom so that they are simple to moisten and are an easy stop on the way to the changing table.
ReplyDeleteI store my clean diapers in fabric bins under the changing table.I have one for wipes, one for daytime diapers, one for night time diapers, and one for wet bags and extra inserts!

I store my dipes in a drawer of our changing table. Then I have a basket next to the changing pad with: cloth wipes, diaper area spray, extra wet bags and other supplies. Then our diaper pail i at the end of the changing table.
ReplyDeleteWe generally let them hang on the drying rack, and the inserts are in the pail liner that they got washed with. When it is time to wash, we dump whatever is extra onto the extra bed in his room. If I ever do take the time to stuff them we have a roll a way 3 drawer system that I put them into. The wipes are with the inserts.
ReplyDeleteI have all my diapers in a pretty black and white vintage print box next to the bassinet in my room, since the baby is still so little. They are organized within the box by type... flats, prefolds, AIO, pockets... and brand. Wipes are stacked on top of the changing table next to the bottom balm and spray bottle of wipe solution.
ReplyDeleteI store some diapers in our nursery (where my toddler sleeps) in a basket in his changing table, some other cloth diapers in a basket in our bedroom (where my baby sleeps) next to his changing space, and a final basket downstairs in our family room in a basket inside the pack and play where we change the boys when they are downstairs. With two kids 15 months apart we really need diapers close by at all times so we don't leave one kid unattended! We also stuff diapers right away out of the laundry so they are stored stuffed and ready. Luckily both kids are already wearing the same size/setting of diapers so that part is easy and we don't need to keep their diapers separate.
ReplyDeleteI keep my clean dipes in cute fabric storage bins. I hate changing tables, so I usually change dipes anywhere on the floor with a cloth diaper underneath to catch any messes! That's how my mom always did it!
ReplyDeleteWe store our daughter's cloth diapers in her cute monkey diaper bag that came with her bedding in her nursery. We organize items in the pack 'n play where we spend most of our time with her downstairs in our home. Wipes are in a warmer on the couch. Would love to switch to cloth wipes!
ReplyDeleteSince my son was 8 months old, we haven't been able to use the changing table. Instead, we put the changing pad down on the floor with a basket of 3-4 ready to go diapers, wipes, bottom cleaner, and GermX. The clean diapers go inside his dresser drawer, and I refresh the changing area as needed. I've also found that with less frequent changes, the need for organizaion is a bit less than infant time with all kinds of accessories and needs!
ReplyDeleteAt our house, I keep clean dipes in a hanging diaper stacker on our son's crib. Overflow/doublers/wipes are in a basket on his bookshelf. Dirty dipes go into a hanging pail in our bathroom because that's on the same floor of the house as the laundry room. :) In his room, I just change him on the floor--grab the basket of wipes/doublers and change him near the hanging diaper stacker. Downstairs I also change him on the floor, and we keep a basket of dipes and wipes under the coffee table for easy changing access. I switched to changing him on the floor when he became almost too long for the changing table/he became harder to lift during my pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteI have a plastic basket that I pile all my diapers and covers on. Its quick and easy to move when I need to have it in another room, and I just pile all my clean diapers in it and they fit without being folded. All my wipes fit on the side too so everything is in one place for us.
