I ordered more diapers today! This time, I'm trying out Sunbaby pocket diapers. Hopefully they will work well since they are considerably cheaper than the big name brands. Can't hardly wait to start posting pictures of our little one's "fluffy" bottom soon!
We have been asked why we have decided to cloth diaper this little one when we didn't with our first two. Well, we never really looked into it before. We had folding, twisting, pinning, and washing out poop stuck in our heads. Cloth diapering isn't like that any more. It is really close to using a disposable - but you wash it instead. After potty training 2 children already,we have washed out enough poopie underpants that it just doesn't bother us like we thought it would. Plus, there is a nifty sprayer that you attach to the toilet - don't even have to touch it! Secondly, after using disposables with 2 others, it is literally throwing money away - so a cost savings is big too. Third, the environmental impact is huge - it will be 6,000 less diapers that we contribute to a landfill.
But the 4th reason is truly why we started looking at it to begin with. Our niece, Miss A (and Luke was a smaller degree), is highly allergic to all disposable diapers except pampers cruisers. Her skin and the chemicals in the diapers do not get along......at all. Since Miss A and our baby share the same birth mother, we thought we should seriously consider doing everything we can not to expose our baby to all the chemicals and off-gassing of plastics.
