Success

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures at this moment, and can't even snap one of her since she is napping. Anyhow, our first full day of cloth diapering was a success! No leaks. No complaints. And a happy baby!

I love it so far, and I really hope I keep to liking it. Nick hasn't changed her into one yet...so I can't say his thoughts on it so far. Besides that he thinks its good...haha.

I was thinking of reasons why I wanted to go cloth. I think the main reasons are, we will save loads of money. Its known that CDing can help to aid in potty training earlier/faster. They are super duper cute! And all this nasty stuff I didn't know about disposables is a big thing...go HERE and you can read what I am talking about.

The diapers I chose are not pricey at all. They are an off brand you can say. I do have one FuzziBunz..which is nice. BUT they are 20 bucks a pop. I got 24 SunBabyDiapers with 24 inserts for 108 dollars. Depending on how many diapers you have to buy, thats usually cheaper then a months worth of disposables for most people. With 24 dipes, she goes through an average of 5-6 a day. So I will have to do diaper laundry every 3-4 days. Which I don't think is bad at all.

I chose to do PocketDiapers....this is where you don't need a cover...it had a pocket inside it where you stuff it with an insert..HERE you can find all the different cloth diapering systems out there explained. All in Ones seem the easiest because they literally are just like sposies, but Pockets are what I thought would be best for us, and our pocketbooks.

So far so good. Hopefully it'll keep in this direction. I do know that when we move in a month we'll be packing the CD's in the suitcase and using sposies till we have access to a washer and dryer. I'm not crazy enough to try that!

We're making the switch!

To....

cloth diapers!



Yes you read that right, I am going green I guess you can say. I'm not one to do the whole, green thing, but this will really help our pocket book, especially when we move to the states! I am very excited. It will be tough at first, to get all used to it but I think it will be totally worth it.

This has been on my mind for a few months now and I finally got up the nerve to order and test and then say yes! Nick is on board, but he's kinda like, whatever at this point. We honeslty haven't had to buy many diapers at all since B was born. At my shower we recieved a wide variety of sizes and then my friend Tiffany has a son that is older than B and she always gives me his un-used, too small diapers. So I think that Nick doesn't realize how much diapers acutally are. We have a pack and a half left, so I decided this is a great time to switch. We should have enough left of the disposables to get us by before the cloth ones come in the mail.

And, aren't they just the cutest?! We only have this one, its red. But in my order we're getting some cute prints along with colors and whites. So I am pretty excited to start this new form of diapering! And to think, we'll never have to buy diapers again....for any more babies to come as well! I haven't thought much about reusable wipes just yet. I think I'm going to get the hang of the dipes before I switch from disposable wipes just yet. Hehe. I just wanted to share my excited, and a few pics of my chunky bottom, cloth diapered cutie!
