My Stash Organization Scheme

I obviously enjoy cloth diapering. Hence the blog. This means I have a rather large diaper stash that needs to be organized in such a way as to be use-able.

On top of our dressers are all of the AIOs, AI2s and pocket diapers. Everything is pre-stuffed so that it can go right on the bum. This makes it easy for infrequent diaper changers. On top of the dresser means stuffed, waterproof and ready-to-go. Also on top of the dresser are wool clothing items such as longies and skirties. Cloth wipes are at the far end, as well as wipe sprays and diaper ointments. Not shown is the hook beyond the dresser for a hanging wetbag.

Fitteds are in the first drawer. Again, it's easy to explain that what's on top of the dresser is waterproof and what's in the dresser is not. Organized by color with the night time diapers on the right (in the foreground of this shot).

The shelf next to the dressers is organized into cubes. Top shelf left cube holds PUL covers and wool soakers. The top right cube contains prefolds and waterproof changing pads. We change our daughter's diaper on the floor or our low platform bed after a bad fall from an elevated changing pad resulted in a trip to the ER. The middle shelf has a cube for blankets and back-up diapers (GMD Workhorse fitteds and Under The Nile fitteds). The bottom shelf has a bin for shoes and a spot for wool that needs to be washed.

Extra items such as wipes spray concentrate, Babylegs and diapers/covers that are still too big are located in the bottom drawer of the dresser. And yes, those are newborn diapers on the left. No, there is no newborn on the way. Yet.

The basis for the organization is having everything within reach when I've got a squirmy baby trying to escape diaper change time.
