Using Cloth

 ...diapers, that is.  It's true, I've decided to use cloth diapers with my little guy.  We're only on week two, but it is turning out to be as easy as I had heard {and hoped} it would be.  I admit I feel a little hesitant sharing {on this blog or in person} the fact that I've decided to cloth diaper because of potential criticism.  However, I'm not going to worry about it, and instead, show you how cloth diapers are working for me {and if for some reason they stop working, I'll let you know about that too}.  I know that using cloth isn't for everyone, but, being a stay-at-home mom, I figured I'd give it a try.


So far my stash is pretty little, which means a little bit more urgent and carefully planned laundry for now.  I've purchased a couple of a few different types of diapers because I know that different people have different favorites, so this way I could see which were my favorite and then buy mostly those diapers.  I decided to use mostly pocket diapers because they have the convinience of an all-in-one, but can be adjusted with different inserts.  I also purchased some prefolds and diaper covers to pad my stash for now.  I've been using everything only with the inserts that came with them, that way I will know which I like best straight off the shelf {or out of the package in this case}.  Over the next few weeks I'll be giving my honest opinion about each type.  Since being a mom has added a bunch of new aspects to my life, I plan to share my adventures with you, but don't worry, I'm only adding to my blogging, not switching gears.  So, stay tuned!

Yay! I'm so glad you're cloth diapering! :) I did with my little girl, who's almost 2 1/2, and she's potty trained!
Your baby is a sweetie! Enjoy every second.
