My good friend Meggie has a little girl named Kenna who she used cloth diapers on. I was super intrigued by this that I started looking into them way back in October. Now, FYI cloth diapers have come a long long way from what they used to be. They have snaps and are all different cute colors! I was so nervous to start cloth diapers because of the work that goes along with it. Everyone kept telling me I was crazy for doing them. Which I found as more of a challenge :)
Addie didn't fit into them until now. I would always try them on her after a bath, but they were always too big!T his week is the first week we are in cloth. Not bad at all. I thought they were going to be a lot of work and be really gross with poo. I'm laundering them myself which also saves tons of money. (Of course I'm using a little more water and electricity by washing them, but I'm drying them on the drying rack or outside so I feel it makes up for it!)
I just recently found out that a wet pail does not help the stains in the diapers. So once I stopped putting them in a wet pail before washing, the stains came out faster! Also using some diluted lemon juice and placing the diapers in the sun helps with stains!
Once they are ready to be on her bum, I spray some diluted lavender oil on them as well to give them a nice calming scent.
I am doing laundry once a day but I still do not use all the clean diapers in one day. I just don't like to let the diapers sit dirty for too long. I think I have 24 diapers. We purchased 18 and then received 6 for free (FuzziBunz had an amazing deal back in October-and that is when we purchased!)
She looks so stinkin cute in them. Sometimes I don't even have to put bottoms on her because he diapers act as a bottom!
They can also be used as little swimmers (if you have ever purchased little swimmers, you know they are super expensive!)
She doesn't get diaper rash like she did in disposables either! So many benefits! I highly recommend it!
