Have I lost my mind????

I have always said that I refuse to use cloth diapers. I’m the oldest of 10 kids. I remember changing a lot of diapers, as a kid, because mom had her hands full and well someone needed to do it. But mom used cloth diapers for a lot of years, and I HATED scraping poop into the toilet, and having to ‘rinse’ the diaper out in the toilet before putting it in the laundry hamper. I also feared pinning the diaper on. It’s hard to shove the diaper pin through so much fabric, it often gets awkward  and there’s always the fear of ending up stabbing yourself when the pin doesn’t come through where you were expecting it to. Mom claims that I once stabbed the baby with the diaper pin, and that was when she switched to using disposable diapers.

Kyle hasn’t really had any experience with cloth diapers aside from, he says he wore them. So he has never seen any problem with using cloth diapers.

So that brings me today. I must have lost my mind. We’ve talked of Kyle dropping the second job, and have wondered if we could afford to drop the second income. So I decided that maybe we should give cloth diapers a chance. We could build up a supply of them while Kyle is still working both jobs, then, someday when Kyle finally drops the second job we won’t have the expense of buying diapers any more.

Well I found these abslutely perfect diapers online. No pins, no nasty plastic over pants, and if you use a diaper liner, no scraping poop into the toilet!

They are all one thing. You just put the pads that they come with inside the inner pocket and they are good to go. Some brands that I’ve found have snaps some have velcro. They are called ‘one size’ diapers because they are adjustable from newborn to potty training. So for Dinah and Chloe I can use the same diapers. Dinah just LOVES them, when the ‘pink diapers’ (we have a few pink ones in addition to these adorable purple ones) are in the diaper stacker, those are the ones she will choose, she will have nothing to do with disposables if she has anything to say about it.  So I actually might like this cloth diapering thing. 😛
