Personally I feel that this is unrealistic for most parents, as we are all very busy and unable to stop every two hours for a diaper change. I think your goal should be to try and change your baby's diaper every 3 hours... it will then probably end up being closer to 4 hours! I try to be very diligent with diaper changes when I am home, however, when I am out I sometimes get distracted and 5 hours pass before I get to change my baby's diaper.

The only way to know for sure is to ask them! If you're using a daycare center, they might try to tell you that state law prohibits cloth diapers in the center, and they might actually believe this, too.

Most diaper rash ointments can destroy the effectiveness of the outer fleece linings on pocket diapers, voids warranties, and should not be used. If you do get some ointment on your diapers, you can wash them as directed and then scrub the area with a toothbrush and dishwashing detergent.

Not at all! Disposable diaper companies would have you believe that rash is caused by feeling wet, but it's actually caused by a combination of factors, including heat and bacteria in the diaper area.

There are as many ways to wash diapers as there are babies in cloth diapers! Here are some suggestions, please feel free to find the method that works best for YOU. Most people recommend dry pail storage, because wet pail can pose a drowning hazard to curious toddlers, and dry pail extends the life of your diapers.
