We are a cloth diapering household and now that there are 2 little ladies in the house, I am struggling to keep it all organized.
My toddler wears cloth pull ups and pocket diapers, and the newborn is in one size pockets. I do not use a changing table for the toddler, and I only use the changing table at night for the infant, because the toddler likes "helping" with diaper changes. I have a 3 stack diaper stacker in the bath room with toddler's over night diapers (extra stuffing!) in one stack, pull ups in another, and all the dry wipes in the 3rd. We have a basket inthe living room with the regularly stuffed toddler pockets. This has worked well for us, because we have the diapers we use in the bathroom in the bathroom. So where to keep the infant diapers? We are mostly changing in the living room during the day and changing table at night. Keeping them both places has been inconveinent, running to each place to retreive diapers has been inconvenient. I thought about getting a diaper caddy thing, but they are all made to fit disposable diapers and thus you can fit very few cloth diapers in them. It is getting frustrating to always have to hunt down diapers, wipes etc before every change.
Also, living in rainy washington, I can't dry diapers outside most days. I used to use the baby gates and the shower rod for drying lines inside. However, with a second baby in diapers, I do not have enough room to hang them all in these places. Any ideas for indoor diaper drying?
Thanks ladies!!!
I am not sure if you can get these in your country? http://www.laundrymaid.co.uk/index.asp
You fix them to the ceiling and raise and lower the airer as you need things
I keep a little wicker basket, inside cloth lined, with handles, in my living room. It's about 12" x 8" x 5" tall and it fits a pile of diapers and my box of wipes. It sits under my end table and doesn't look that bad. Sometimes the baby empties it (and then sits in it), but whatever - she's exploring and being creative. I even keep the diaper rash cream in there. I change her on the floor in the living room too.
Since you only change her at night on the table, keep only one or two there and the rest in the basket. Keep the rest of her diapers in the basket with the toddler's or get another basket for the baby's.
I also second the drying rack in the tub idea. I have a metal folding drying rack and i found it a bit sturdier than the wood one, but it's all about preference and need. They are not expensive.
Buy a drying rack that folds up. Put it in the bathtub while you are drying the diapers. Fold it and put it away when you aren't using it.
I have a wooden one which can hold a whole wash. It stands about five feet high when set up.
I use disposibles, but I have a plastic three drawered caddy on wheels with supplies. You could use a few of those. I change mine on the floor in the family room, this room is connected to the main level bath. So, I keep the caddies in front of the tv stand, whick keeps my 13 month old from continually pushing buttons on that tv.
You could buy a portable drying rack for the diapers, or I had my husband put up a closet rod near the ceiling across our laundry room. You could fit a ton on a rod if you used pants hangers!
Love Baby Changes for diaper storage that's pretty and doesn't take up tons of space!

I just use a basket basically but there was a great post about this not long ago over at the cloth diaper whisperer - maybe this will help: http://www.theclothdiaperwhisperer.com/2010/05/mission-or...
