Cloth diapers...

First responses... from almost everyone...

You are not really going to do that?

Are you really going to wash them?

You want to mess with all of that?

Are there going to be safety pins involved?

Do we have to use them when we see Bailey?

Everyone has been skeptical
... and honestly I was skeptical at first too.  But after talking to some cloth diapering mamas I got some confidence that cloth diapers are not the package of safety pins and burp clothes that they used to be.  They told me about the lack of diaper rash, children potty training earlier, the green implications, and how much money you can save. Those that know me, know that I am frugal (blog titled- our life on a budget.... guess that's a duh).   So the excitement is shown in this chart below borrowed from the fuzzibunz website. Now this is not actually the brand we are using, and we have not spent even as much as it says on the chart, but I feel like it provides a pretty good picture of the price difference.

The scary thing is we have invested so I feel like there is no turing back now... we're invested.   Here is our stock so far... Seriously... these are cuter than disposable :)  right now we are going with mainly pocket diapers by Bum Genius.  We have a couple of all in ones for relatives and in case she has to go to daycare. Up close picture... The wipes... they are on back order now, so hopefully they will come soon! Maybe I will try making my own at some point... but I will start with this.  I will keep yall updated as to how this goes!
