Makin' the switch

I always wanted to start out with cloth diapers, but Matt was vehemently opposed. In many ways, I'm glad we started with 'sposies. I can't imgaine having to keep up with washing 12-15 poopy diapers a day in the beginning. Now that things have slowed down, so to speak, and I've realized that I do 95% of the diapering and 100% of the washing, I think we're ready to make the switch. I'd like to do cloth for several reasons: I think it's cost-effective, I think it's better for baby, and I think it's better for the environment. I'm going to start out by getting a 12-pack of Fuzzi Bunz and seeing how that works out. Then I'll add to it as needed/as we can afford.

  1. We love cloth. Kent was hooked as soon as he saw how easy they were. We switched from disposables to Fuzzi Bunz with Bradley around 8 months I think. We have been really happy with them. We are in the midst of potty learning right now. I already have my CD stash ready for the new baby.

  3. yay!! I'm so glad you're making the switch. I don't know if I'd have the stamina for a newborn in cloth either.
