I have an 8" shelf just above my washer and dryer which is where I keep my diapers (just out of reach from my daughter). <br />As for your wipes warmer addition, I've been using one since my daughter was born and I so regret not having used one with my son. It is the best cloth diapering accessory I own. Cloth wipes work so much better than disposable ones! The warmer saves a ton of water and time when using cloth (you don't have to run the water to get it warm). I really dislike disposable baby wipes - they're too thin. I also don't like the idea of putting a dirty wipe in the garbage (yuck!). We only use cloth so dirty cloths go with the diapers where they belong - in the wash!<br />For my diaper bag, I keep some cloth wipes and use a foaming wipes solution by Northern Essence. <br /><br />With my son, I diapered him using 12 medium Fuzzi Bunz. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I decided to expand my collection a bit and ended up trying almost everything available in Canada! My daughter is 14 months now so has gone through her NB and smalls (and mediums in some brands). My current stash reflects my favourites. <br /><br />My Diaper Stash<br /><br />For day - home<br />10 Fuzzi Bunz (med) 7 old style, 3 new<br />1 One Size FB<br />1 Swaddlebees One Size Organic Velour Eco-Nappy<br />1 Bum Genius One Size Organic AIO<br />3 Thirsties fitted (large)<br />1 Imsy Vimsy organic cover<br />1 Baby Beehinds cover<br />3 Loveybums doublers<br />3 AMP bamboo inserts*<br />1 Jam Tots one-size bamboo insert*<br /><br />*inserts are used with FB and BG in rotation with some old hemp inserts and the microfleece inserts that come with the diapers<br /><br />Laundry Room<br />1 FB hanging diaper bag (bottom zipper is great for front loader)<br />1 wipes warmer (love this!)<br />16 wipes<br /> 6 bamboo velour wipes (Northern Baby)<br /> 6 sherpa wipes (Northern Baby)<br /> 4 others (not as good as above)<br /><br />Diaper Bag<br />2 Jam Tots wet bags<br />1 Mommy’s Touch changing pad for diaper bag (thick and rolls up)<br />4 wipes<br />Northern Essence Foaming Wipes Solution<br /><br /><br />For daycare (Yes, I convinced an Ottawa Child Care Centre to use cloth!)<br />8 AMP AIO diapers (large)<br />4 Bum Genius One Size Pocket<br />12 NBC Wet bags with toggle (from makers of Gro Baby)<br />2 large wet laundry bags (at public daycare, they must put each diaper in a wet bag before putting in the laundry bag)<br /><br />For nights<br />1 Moonies organic cotton velour fitted (size 2)<br />2 BabyBeehinds one size bamboo fitted (amazing diaper!)<br />2 Loveybums organic cotton with snaps (large)<br />1 BabyBeehinds wool cover (love wool!)<br /><br />This is far more than what I really need, but I love my diapers!<br /><br />JulieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652053955492085219.post-6106026651246011362010-02-05T16:06:39.223-05:002010-02-05T16:06:39.223-05:00The wicker basket is actually awesome.

But still much better than a plastic pail! <br /><br />Thank you for your comment New Mama :)Vickyhttp://www.ottawaclothdiapers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652053955492085219.post-57855066283377390402010-02-05T14:55:17.868-05:002010-02-05T14:55:17.868-05:00Thanks for the great tip about the wicker basket. ...Thanks for the great tip about the wicker basket.
