Cloth Diapers!?!

Little did I know when I started researching cloth diapers that I was opening the door to a whole world I never knew existed!

My interest was peaked when I read an article at Simple Mom on cloth diapering. Jason was still without a job so the idea that $400 dollars cold take us from birth to potty training was very appealing! The deeper I dug the more information I found about concerns with the chemicals in disposable diapers. Could that be why my kids struggled with terrible diaper rashes? Sorting through all the reviews different styles etc was so overwhelming! I was able to find a local shop Green Pixie Baby and the owner offered a fee consultation. Free I can do! She was so helpful in explaining the different types of diapers and how easy it actually was to wash the diapers. I was hooked. It didn't help that some of these fluffy bums were so stinkin cute! I decided to start with the good old fashioned prefolds and covers. The most cost effective. My initial stash was a combination of cotton and Thirsties prefolds with Thirsties covers. I wanted a few of the Thirsties prefolds because they are a cotton hemp blend. Hemp is supposed to be naturally antibacterial. Because of the girls issues with rashes I wanted to try a few of these. I spent $180 and had the essentials for diapering Lila until 9 months. And with a generous financial gift all off it was covered! Since then we have acquired some pocket style diapers also. I have Leia wearing cloth diapers at night, she loves them! She got upset at me when I tried to put a disposable on her. I did manage to get a pull up on her a few weeks ago when she was having some tummy troubles. We needed to make a quick trip and I didn't want to deal with any issues that might come from not getting to the potty in time! The next day her entire diaper area was bright red. The few remaining disposable went in the trash. Needless to say we are now a cloth diapering family and never going back to disposables. My biggest concern was dealing with diaper rashes and so far Lila has had none. I wish I'd cloth diapered all the girls!
