Cloth Diapers

ME: "We are going to try and use cloth diapers."


EVERYONE: "That's gross...I tried to do it but the pins and prefolds and plastic diaper covers....well good luck."



TRUST ME....Cloth diapering isn't what it used to be! We don't have too many of our friends and family that are supportive but anyone we have talked to that has tried NEW cloth diapers and disposable, prefer cloth.



So here are some of the main reason we are going to use cloth diapers:


1. Our baby's health - a disposable diaper contains many harmful chemicals that sit next to your baby's most private parts. Having this information is hard for me to ignore and cloth diaper seems best for our baby. Baby's that wear cloth diapers have less diaper rash.



2. Environmental - It takes over 500 years for just 1 diaper to decompose...not only do we recycle everything we can, I can't imagine throwing that many diapers away every day, week and year....



3. Money - Need I say more...



4. I am saying that cloth diapering is for everyone but we want to give it our best shot and please, be curious and not negative. I will gladly share with you our knowledge and experiences so far:)



Our cloth Diaper Stash and set-up so far:)

Some infant All in One Diapers

Sunbaby All in One Diapers, prefolds and some Snappis


A couple of wool diapers and prefolds


Diaper Doublers and some more All in Ones


The back side of an All in One diaper


The inside of a All in One diaper - if baby only pees, then we can just change the insert and re-use the outside of the diaper, or diaper cover. If it leaks thru to the diaper cover then just get a new diaper.

Inside of a AIO. This AIO is a pocket diaper - you insert a prefold into the pocket and can only use this diaper one time.

Changing table decor Danny made:)


So pretty! The lanterns are decorations from our first shower and the pom pom ones are from our second shower.

I'm so glad you decided to cloth! I got alot of negative comments at first too, but it helps to find local moms who cd also. It made a huge difference once I found the lady's on the cd board!

You know I'm always here when you need some advice or support! Are you going to put up a clothes line in your backyard? I wish we had one!
