Can I have some info on keeping the newborn insert clean?

Thank you for your question. For the Lil Luxuries bath tub sling, we recommend to rinse with clean, warm water, squeezing out any excess moisture. Position bath sling in bath tub or hang from the frame to dry.

It's not an insert - you basically roll the bottom part that clips around your waist and snap it so the baby sits higher. That way you can use it with a newborn (perhaps not a preemie, you'd have to look at the weight requirements). Hope that helps!

No. That's the beauty of diapers like these. They have a built in waterproof lining. Just remember to take the insert out when washing or it won't get clean and won't dry. Only issues I've had w these (and they are by far my favorite!) is that if your baby pees a lot (bigger babies and overnight) it can leak....but so do ALL the other brands out there, so stuff extra inserts in. Good luck!

If it's pee, just change the insert (the absorbent cloth in the middle). If it's poop, change the whole diaper. Take the insert out, shake off as much of the poop as you can into the toilet (diaper sprayers are good for this) and toss it in your diaper pail or wet bag to be washed. There are a lot of helpful videos and tutorials on how to diaper, how to launder the diapers on the internet if you google it. Also, I would go with a different brand. I have bought two different sets of Alva and have had lots of issues with leaks. The prints are cute and they are cheaper than other brands, but you get what you pay for unfortunately.

What a wonderful idea. I haven't tried it, but I can tell you, I sure am going to. WE bought our first Baby Alive this year for Christmas. It has to be okay. I think the main idea is to just have something that won't mildew and get gross, just in case it doesn't all get rinsed out with water. Great idea, good thinking! I think I'll just compare the consistency to Baby Alive food, and if it happens to be thicker, I thin it out with water to make them more comparable. Otherwise, I won't worry about it.

I clean in her creases with a soft white cloth and plain water. I also use baby spray conditioner to keep her hair smooth. She wears newborn or 0 to 3 month clothing.

These are pretty awesome, btw - one of the best cloth diapering inserts on the market. This product is an insert - you lay in inside a diaper cover like this bumgenious one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072FRFI6?tag=blself-20 . Assuming your child has only wet the diaper, you can just pull out the wet insert and put in a dry one, reusing the cover. This means you only need one cover for ever 3 or 4 changings. When your child goes number 2, the mess will likely spread onto the inside of the cover, and you'll want to wash both. If you are serious about cloth diapering, get a diaper sprayer: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00938R0XA?tag=blself-20 . I wouldn't do cloth diapers without one.

There are many different wash routines which can work for these diapers, and the wash routine will depend on the type of washing and drying machines you have as well as what kind of water you have (hard, normal, soft). Generally, you pull the inserts out of the diaper before washing (they will simply bunch up in the pocket), these diapers are best with a REAL detergent such as Tide, Arm and Hammer, Free and Clear (cloth diaper detergents generally do not get the job done as they have a lot of softeners and not much detergent). A prewash with a small amount of your chosen detergent is best to start, you will get most of the dirty washed away after this wash (think about it, first wash will be potty water) and you can do a full cycle next (next wash will be clean water as you have washed the potty water away). Personally, I did an extra rinse afterwards just to be sure all of the detergent washed away as it would go on baby's bum. I dried these diapers on medium heat but they also had no issues on medium heat or air dried. I would highly suggest looking up a group called Fluff Love and CD Science on facebook; these women are experts in all of the factors in washing cloth diapers such as High Efficiency machines vs old style machines, hard water, and the best detergents for baby's needs. With a little research to find your best method, these are easy to use and easy to clean. I was very pleased as the washing aspect is the most intimidating! Good luck, I say go for it!

I'm not sure but maybe you could contact the manufacture. I think it's fine with out any extra. You don't want it to soft for newborns due to risk of SIDS. I love it the way it is and the sheet that I got cleans up great!

No, there isn't an insert, but you can wipe the inside down. I keep diaper disposable bags on my changing table and put messy clothes in there, then into the hamper. Hope this helps!

I didn't buy the insert, but the purpose is to give added cushion/comfort, especially for small babies. Like what people sometimes put in car seats or strollers to buffer the head and body. I should have bought the insert, because I think the seat texture (by itself without the insert) is strange for a baby product. It is the texture of a canvas backpack.

I don't have the insert it came with anymore, however I wipe it with Clorox wipes weekly without issue.

I have no problems. We've had it a few months now. I just treat them like carseat straps. Mild soap and warm water. Wipes clean! :)

If you find the car seat support not enough for the baby, then go for this product. Also, it's important to keep the newborns head correctly positioned (straight), and to have cushy padding under it to eliminate the possibility of flat head. I don't think this extra comforting insert could cause any safety issues, just fill out your car seat, and if you find it too hard, or notice your little one isn't snug in it, by the insert.

As long as you're using fresh bags and nipples it shouldn't be a problem, although I would get some wipes to clean the bottle and the nipple ring atleast once a day. Either germs from hands/accidental dropping or sometimes milk/formula can pool alittle on the inside of the ring. If you're concerned about chemicals that close to your baby's food source, I know there are wipes that are made with natural subtances for on-the-go cleaning for pacifiers and teething toys (safe for baby) so you can just wipe down and let air dry for a minute. But I have used this system since my 7mos baby was born and I go through a whole day just using the same bottle but changing the nipples and bags for each feeding. No problem.

I have had the best luck with born free. They are BPA free and work great with babies with or without reflux issues.

The pad is white :)It's probably a good idea to use something under the baby or get a washable cover anyway, the thing is lovely and wipes clean well but it is much easier to clan up a piece of cloth or cover than the thing itself.
