But all things considered I am finding out I may be able to do the once a week washing. I do think though I may do a daily hand wash though. I might take them all the to laundry mat clean or not and give them a good washing in the machine once a week.<br /><br />Just Me...https://www.blogger.com/profile/06704840849038906686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029731233993459538.post-49031059121627342942013-03-09T23:57:30.016-08:002013-03-09T23:57:30.016-08:00If I remember correctly, it is possible, but with ...If I remember correctly, it is possible, but with modifications. Most moms have 2 or 3 doz diapers to get them through 2 or 3 days. Most diaper services give you 80-100 diapers for the week. I would suggest checking out info on the Flats and Handwashing challenge. That may be a workable option for you. If not, get your 80-100 diapers (I still suggest flats in this circumstance.) and a few covers. The covers can be hand washed or put in with other laundry. (that's what a diaper service would have you do) Get a few heavy duty wet bags and use those to transport your diapers to the laundromat. You'll also want to invest in deo disks. I am more off to check out this laundry pod that c-joy mentioned. Good luck to you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235322393271068471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029731233993459538.post-73012755163571619352013-03-04T10:17:44.936-08:002013-03-04T10:17:44.936-08:00Thanks for the Laundry Pod suggestion, C-Joy.

I have to believe there is a solution out there. I was just thinking the other day about cloth diapering services. They do a once a week pick up. I guess I just figure, if they can do it, why can't I?<br /><br />My desire to CD this time is overwhelming. There's gotta be a way....<br /><br /><br />Just Me...https://www.blogger.com/profile/06704840849038906686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029731233993459538.post-55412389877432175532013-03-01T03:59:59.709-08:002013-03-01T03:59:59.709-08:00From what I remember from my CD days, I don't ...From what I remember from my CD days, I don't think it would work. Perhaps you could borrow a few cloth diapers & do a trial run now before making the investment? Also check out the Laudry Pod -you would be able to wash the diapers at home :)C-Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988652406948344207noreply@blogger.com
