    Such a great cause! I am a cancer survivor (different kind) and just lost a dear friend the end of May to Breast Cancer! Please people ~ Support these groups!! Also regarding the Grovia diapers - our son and daughter-in-law have been using these with their new baby (5 months old now) - has anyone heard of any increased incident of UTI's in babies that use these? Just curious! Thanks!

      I thank you so much for your comment, and I am sorry to hear about your friend. I think in general the cloth diapering community would say that, no, there is not an increased incidence of UTI's, but here is what I say. When cloth diapers are left on too long or not washed well enough to get them completely clean, they can easily harbor bacteria. Disposable diapers have lots of chemicals to both, keep the moisture away from baby, and probably inhibit growth of bacteria. Cloth diapers have no chemicals. Is your grandchild a girl? If you want to check if it is the diapers contributing to UTI's I would suggest trying a few things. 1)Change the diaper frequently (don't leave the diaper on for more than 3 hours), don't wait until it is fully saturated to change. 2) Use fleece liners. Lay the fleece inside the diaper. It helps baby's bum to stay drier. 3) Smell the diapers when they come out of the wash (before you dry them). If they smell dirty, they aren't getting all the way clean and the wash routine, or detergent, needs to be adjusted. 4) Add grapefruit seed extract or tea tree oil to the rinse. Both are natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal and will help to sanitize the diapers. 5) Dry them in the sun. UV rays also kill bacteria. If your kids need any trouble shooting help they can feel free to email me at amy(at)ohsosavvymom(dot)com. (sorry that was so lengthy)
