Cleaning

Swiffer solution: equal parts water and vinegar, 1-2 drops dish soap, couple drops of essential oil (from here)

Diaper wipe solution: most reddit threads recommend just using water in a spray bottle. One comment suggested using a couple drops of oil to remove really sticky / partially dried ones as needed.
Diaper cream: Mt Sinai video said no need to use cream for routine diaper changes, but if they get rash can use white zinc oxide cream (should be plant oil-based to make cleaning diaper easier). can make own by buying powder (up to 40% zinc oxide by weight), but apparently hard to clean if used in pot.
Diaper pail (from diaperkind):
- can put Tbsp baking soda in bottom of pail for extra smell help
- if pail smells while open, change the deo-disk (~4-6 weeks)
- if pail smells while closed, change carbon filter (~3-4 weeks)
- time between changes vary based on season, temperature, and humidity
diaper basics (from diaperkind):
- change baby with every feeding or whenever you detect poop
- you do not need to wake a sleeping baby to change them
- it's okay to leave a pee-diaper until next feeding
