But, I am a huge fan of cloth diapers! All my friends and family thought I was nuts for wanting to use them but I got over that pretty fast. <br /><br />You gave a great description! It's true about the big bum though. That's my least favorite part. I think if I had a girl it wouldn't be that big of deal b/c she would probably wear dresses. But, I do have to buy bigger bottom for my son.<br /><br />Another benefit of using cloth is the fact that you don't have to worry about buying them at the store all the time. I live in a tiny place and storage is an issue. Even so, I'm a fan of stocking up so I like that I can just have my 20 Bum Genius and not worry about finding a place to store other diapers.Christine (iDreamofClean)http://idreamofclean.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-56434260981896480322010-03-25T18:13:54.131-05:002010-03-25T18:13:54.131-05:00What a great post!

I had really considered cloth diapering, but ended up not doing it...mostly because Dave was home with Aila in the beginning a lot, and I don't know if he would have appreciated it! :) PLUS...I probably wouldn't have appreciated the clean up when I got home!!! Anyway, you've given some great info and advice for later down the road!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185029478243517165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-34050364868199133492010-03-10T13:22:59.115-06:002010-03-10T13:22:59.115-06:00Just wanted to add...be sure to check out my frien...Just wanted to add...be sure to check out my friend Shelby's blog at http://sewshelby.blogspot.com/<br />for super cute diaper and wipes bags, burp cloths, clothes...and all sorts of other accessories!Grace~The Mommy On the Bushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415033363688082792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-61349422774245609922010-03-09T21:20:05.437-06:002010-03-09T21:20:05.437-06:00I NEVER thought I would cloth dipaer, but I'm ...I NEVER thought I would cloth dipaer, but I'm really enjoying cding. Hudson is the first one (he's my 4th) I've done it with, but after 10 months we're still going strong! We used prefolds when he was really little, but now we're using the Flip system and I LOVE them. They also have a disposable insert option which is great for road trips or overnights in a hotel. My best tip for being successful is finding somebody that is knowledgeable about it! There is a local woman where I live that has been very helpful to me.

Brianah (the comment below yours) is another fan of the Bum Genius, so I'm sure they'll be a great fit for your littles!<br /><br />Bri~That's a good point about how people say you won't save money...that is pretty far from the truth! Plus, the re-sale of cloth dipes is almost just as good as the original price!...if you take good care of them!Grace~The Mommy On the Bushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415033363688082792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-26470636905239128242010-03-08T23:12:28.298-06:002010-03-08T23:12:28.298-06:00This is a great post! Yeah, we definitely don'...This is a great post! Yeah, we definitely don't have many of our family members on board with our decision, but it works SO WELL for us! No last minute runs b/c we're out of diapers (this happened one time when Carter first came home b/c we weren't cd-ing yet...it was a pain). <br /><br />I agree with you on the laundry thing. I wash every other day and it is just part of my routine. I post the order in which I wash (cold rinse, hot with detergent, and final cold rinse) by the machine and my hubby will usually run the 2nd/3rd cycle for me while I'm doing dishes at night.<br /><br />I also had a lot of people tell me that I wouldn't save any money b/c we wouldn't do it long term...WRONG! We also cd on the cheap (prefolds/snappis/dappis mostly) and it saves us a lot of money every month. <br /><br />The other myth I got was that our son would ALWAYS have diaper rash. Couldn't be farther from the truth. I have super super sensitive skin and my son does also. Disposables give him diaper rash something terrible. I have started cloth diapering him at night b/c he is sleeping for 10-12 hours at a time. Disposables will guarantee he wakes with a diaper rash. I use bumgenius one sizes at night (bought as "damaged" on cotton babies for cheap) and use mechanics microfiber towels for the liner (from Sam's club). Doesn't touch his skin so we don't have to worry about it drying him out, but they absorb great. Total price for those diapers (including liners) is probably about $10-12 depending on the sale on the BG's. He can go all night w/o a diaper change and doesn't have diaper rash in the morning.Brihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477543278707286918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-70409158657155059932010-03-08T19:54:00.802-06:002010-03-08T19:54:00.802-06:00I've learned to never ask the "regular&qu...I've learned to never ask the "regular" moms anything...they always think I'm weird!
