My Frugal Baby Tips: 2019-09-15

I have some trim fitted flannels I made - I add doublers to for added absorbency.

When I ran out, I tossed in one of those cheap terry washcloths (which I use as wipes) from Costco we all were talking about a while back.

Anyhow... tonight I got to thinking that I could use them as a poop catcher too...

Especially since when I used the disposable diaper liners the other day I was feeling like...

This isn't what I use cloth for -- just so I can stick in a paperish synthetic thingie next to my son's skin.

The washcloths are great so far...

I may splurge and buy some 100% cotton washcloths for this, but so far the cheapies are good.

I cannot find good terrycloth by the yard either.

I use thick terry towels to make doublers, that I find on good sales.

Like Mervyn's, Sam's (like Price Club or Cosco) Walmart, etc.

This is the only way to go in my opinion... the other stuff is not absorbent enough!

My sister-in-law asked someone who makes a business of it.

She said to order true thick terry toweling by the yard you had to order something like 200 yards... ouch!

So I use towels. I end up not wasting a lot, because I use the ends for cloth menstrual pads.

You can always use your older towels, and then buy yourself the new ones too!

The older ones, unless showing signs of serious wear, will do just fine and they are more absorbent because of more washings.

Hope this helps!
