As the pictures indicate. We have started cloth diapering. Before Sawyer was born Kyle and I decided that cloth diapering was a good option for our family. We purchased 6 BumGenius 3.0 diapers and waited for our baby boy to arrive. However, we waited a little longer than we anticipated to start cloth diapering. Sawyer was born smaller than expected, we picked up our lives and moved to Ohio, we didn't have our own place, then we moved into our new home, then we began renovations, then we went on vacation, then we went to Kansas for 2 weeks. So, needless to say our good intentions kept getting pushed back. Now 7 months later we are more settled and aren't traveling anywhere for more than a weekend until Thanksgiving, so I decided to jump in.
It's only an hour into the experiment, but here are my first thoughts.
1) They are so adorable.
2) His pants now fit him (cloth diapers are bulkier than disposables and all of Sawyer's pants are too big until now)
3) He has not leaked through yet :)
If everything goes smoothly for the next week I will purchase more cloth diapers.
Any suggestions for other cloth diapers we must have?
Any other cloth diapering tips?
Hey, we are starting cloth diapering too! We got a bunch from Blair's advisor that we are trying out, also Bum Genius. We really like them thus far! Let me know how you like them!
ReplyDeleteHe looks adorable! Wyatt has rarely ever leaked with his Bum Genius dipes....we had far more blowouts with disposables. And I found that Fuzzibunz one size dipes don't work very well on skinnier babies. Wyatt constantly leaked out of the few we had. And I completely understand the pants fitting! That's the only way a lot of Wyatt's pants fit him. Have fun on the new adventure!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dana! I took your advice on the Allen's detergent. We'll see how it works. How much do you use per load?
ReplyDeleteCarisa we'll keep you updated. How are things going with Parker? I would love to see pictures.
