I went now to cloth diapers for my three yr old. He is only needing them for nap and bed time. But I am trying to firugre out why I didn;t go with this before with my older two.. There would have been less diapers in the land fill from me. But I didn't know about them back then.. But now I do. I went with Fuzzi Bunz. And I love them..

Very, very, very cute little bums! I always wanted to cloth diaper, but our son was much older when we adopted, and other than that unfortunate litter box incident (yeah imagine an 11 year old) we had no need for diapering. The little ones we cared for as foster parents had diapers, but we were not given an option to use cloth. Dumb rules.

Also wanted to add...I'm the only one of my siblings to have be disposable diapered as an infant. It took longer to potty train me than my siblings, and I wet the bed regularly until I was almost 6. Not that I blame that on the disposable diapers, but it's interesing, isn't it? Also, I'm the only one with fertility issues.
Anecdotal, yes, but food for thought.

Brianna,

I'm hesitant to get more cloth diapers with velcro because my Bum Genius velcro tabs are really worn out from less than a year of use. Also, do you find that when using a cloth diaper you have to get bigger pants and shorts? Emma can wear 18-24 month shorts and pants when she's in a disposable, but in her cloth diapers she needs a 2T or sometimes even a 3T pants or shorts.

Oh, Jodi! I'm with you. I love the little ruff...

Oh, Jodi! I'm with you. I love the little ruffle bum diaper. We can't swing it right now, but maybe soon. :)

LOVE thoes bums!!

I have often thought about it. We are potty training Sam and not sure how much longer he will be in diapers and with the way Emma is picking up on things, I don't know how much longer she will be in diapers.

But if we were to ever have another one, I would definitely go with the cloth.

I also love that ruffle cloth diaper, how cute is that!

Take care,

Jodi

Oh yes, I won't be wasting my time with smalls. Colin was 16 pounds at 4 months, and I can't see the $$ savings in stocking up on any cloth diapers until then.

I am pregnant, due September 3rd (ahhh!).

Funny how things happen around the same time. We are doing cloth also. I have two toddlers and a baby due in a week. We are doing cloth for the same reasons..money and common sense for the future. We have no way to pay for them so we were blessed when a classmate of ours (from BCOM) had her sister sew us a variety of diapers for FREE. She is sending them out and we can test drive them all to find ones we like. Amazing how God provides. :) Keep us posted on how it goes (since I'll be diving in too) I've done an amazing amount of research but experience means so much more! Thanks for sharing!

I was going to try cloth diapers until I found out we were going to Baku. Maybe once we are adjusted and settled down there I might try! It was so fun to see you putting it all together the other week- it looks so easy!

2009-07-29T08:07:08.372-05:00

That is awesome! I think I'll splurge on the 6 pack. We cloth diaper now, although I do take breaks. But We spend about $20 a month on diaposables instead of $40 like we were before. And since we are having another baby, maybe this will help even more! My little guy has been 24 pounds forever, so it gets easy when their weight stabalizes. We love Fuzzibuns and Grasshopper baby diapers.

2009-07-29T07:43:02.445-05:00

I will check out those gdiapers. I use Fuzzi Bunz and Bum Genius One size. Occasionally I take a break and use some disposables so I don't get burned out on all the washing!

I love cloth diapering too! We mostly use prefolds with PUL or fleece wrap covers, but I have several pocket and regular fitteds for when we are out and about. I learned to make them recently, so I've been busy sewing newborn sizes for our new baby. I just love the cute little "bubble butt" my daughter has wearing a cloth diaper...and they're so much cuter than disposables too!

2009-07-29T01:32:35.294-05:00

I do cloth, but was too cheap to invest in any of the nice covers or the G-diapers. Layla only has 4 covers and enough prefolds to last about 2 days at the most. So if anyone else wants to try cloth, don't feel like you have to invest a lot of money into the endeavor. I like to wash them often anyway since they get nasty after a couple days.

2009-07-29T00:12:01.682-05:00

Cute! I didn't know they made cloth inserts.. is that new?

We use a mix of prefold w/ covers and pocket diapers (mostly BumGenius). I love cloth diapering too...

Came here via another blog btw.. the title caught my attention lol

I jumped aboard the 'cloth diaper' wagon in January after changing 10-12diapers a day STILL on my then 9month old. He hated, still does, being wet or dirty and the cost of diapers was getting overwhelming for me. I chose to go with the Bum Genius 3.0 and I LOVE THEM as well. I also have some mom-made fitted, that require a cover if you are out and about, and again I am totally in love...wish my husband could say the same, but when I remind him that our initial purchase paid for itself in a month and a half he is much happier to change them! I'm glad you have jumped aboard!!
