Why I Love Borax!
My little monkey is addicted to blackberries - and being at that stage where he cannot stay still you can imagine the mess he makes!
We had been using Borax on his cloth diapers for a few months and it never occurred to me to use it in the rest of the wash. Faced with a brand new white shirt stained purple with blackberries I didn't want to use bleach or any other harsh cleaning agent - so I decided to try a cup of Borax in his wash.
WOW - not only did it remove ALL of the blackberry stains, but it took out old stains from other items in the wash. Pasta sauce, jello, juice it was all gone! And I feel good knowing that it's gentle enough to use on his laundry and not extremely harmful to the environment.
And on his diapers we don't even need to pre-soak them any more. Just a cup of Borax and the diapers come out clean and fresh. They also feel softer then when we use just laundry detergent on them - which is an added bonus.
Guess that's why Borax has been around for so long!

Just a quick mention that our new Sping Line is slowly being posted on the site - be sure to check it out! http://www.MommysLilMonkey.com (and yes I now prewash all the fabrics in Borax instead of detergent!!!)

Cloth Diapering Must Haves
Those who are new to cloth diapering know that it's a confusing world filled with many expensive and elaborate products. When I first ventured into cloth diapering I was overwhelmed with the opinions and information available on the Internet.
What I can't tell you is what cloth diapering system is best for you - each baby and parent needs to determine this through their specific needs and desires. What I can tell you is that there are a few 'must haves' no matter what diapering system you go with!
Diaper Liners - Mommy's Lil Monkey offers a variety of liners, all to fill a specific purpose. in general liners are used to keep the diapers from becoming too stained, allow easier clean up of 'solid messes' and in most cases adds a soft layer directly against your little one's bum! Whether you opt for a simply 2-layer flannel liner to minimize staining or add a terry filled liner for those babes who are super soakers - Mommy's Lil Monkey has the liner you'll need! The best part is our liners come in fun prints and are all tested before we market them.
Diaper Wipes (a.k.a. bummy wipes, wipes, cloths) - what is the point of cloth diapering if you are going to use disposable wipes? Also have you read the ingredients in those wipes - yikes! The best thing on a babies bum is cotton, soft and natural. That's why any of Mommy's Lil Monkey wipes are perfect for your messy needs! We offer a variety of wipes, many made from 100% organic unbleached cotton - and in numerous sizes. From little messes to those sticky toddler stinkies Mommy's Lil Monkey wipes stand up to the job. The more you wash our wipes, the softer they become. Also our wipe solution recipe is made from all natural ingredients (available at pretty much any health food, drug store or big chain store) and help fight yeast which is the main cause of diaper rashes.
A sense of humour - yup that's what I said! Let's face it cloth diapers can sometimes be a bit of work. And no matter what style diaper you choose - a dirty one is never fun! There is nothing I find more icky then emptying that dirty diaper pail at the end of the day and getting it ready to wash - ewwww. But I remind myself that for every cloth diaper I use - I am saving the planet and making it greener for my little monkey!
One small step at a time, Mommy's Lil Monkey helps you make cloth diaper fun, inexpensize, easy and greener then ever before! Be sure to take a look at our wide range of cloth diapering accessories and many other great products at http://www.MommysLilMonkey.com . We take custom orders on our prodcuts too - keep that in mind if you're thinking of a certain theme for your nursery or have a specific diapering need!
