Aren't they beautiful? Can you believe it? After a few weeks of contemplating making the switch from disposables, I finally ordered them. What made me decide to switch? Well, in a nutshell, I had heard all the pros about how it saves money and the environment. It also has benefits of less diaper rash and helps babies potty train quicker. I know of several moms who are already in the CD world and they RAVED about it. And the cons weren't "cony" enough for me to say, "Never."
Cloth diapering has been known in the past to be lots of work. However, over the years, developers have used new fabrics and designs to make it extremely simple. After talking with my friend, Erin Tink, I decided to check out bumGenius diapers. And I as soon as I read up on them, I said, "I can do this!".
I will probably start Clare out on them this weekend while we are home together and see how it goes. We have plenty of time to transition and I will allow myself to use disposables when necessary, i.e. traveling.
I had high hopes of making my own baby food, but I'm going to conquer one thing at a time. For right now, Gerber knows more about baby food than I do and I'm okay with that.
Yell if you ever need CD help. Make sure you have the right detergent or they will stink. I use Flips which are made by the same company.
