Adventures in Cloth Diapering

Before we had a child, I thought there was no way that I would ever use cloth diapers! I thought it was disgusting, and they seemed very difficult with all the pins and what not. But, after doing some research and trying to come up with ways to save money, I decided to give it a go. It turns out cloth diapers are totally different than what they used to be! They work basically just like disposables, you just throw them in the wash instead of in the trash can. Poopy diapers are a little challenge, but we have a diaper sprayer to help with that!

We started with 7 Bum Genius diapers, and we used cloth on the weekends for the first few weeks. We now have 24 cloth diapers, and we have been cloth diapering full time for a week and a half, even at daycare. I am really enjoying them, and Bill doesn't even seem to mind them. We have 20 Bum Genius, 2 Flips, and 2 Happy Heinys. The Happy Heinys are really cute, but I don't like the way they fit as well.

Wells loves the diapers, too! I think this one is the cutest that we have, but the solid color ones fit him best!

And I had to include this picture of Wells in his new "babylegs." They were perfect today when it was warm but he still needed something to protect his knees when he crawls all over the place! As you can see, he is always getting into something! The leggings were made by one of my "online" friends, Lisa Barney. Check out her etsy store!
