Diapering Adventures!

Some of you may know that we decided to give cloth diapers a try. We spent a lot of time going back and forth. We have done the diaper discussion for a while, even before we got String Bean.  Once getting SB, we got disposable diapers & were gifted disposable diapers as well.  So we didn't have to think about what we were going to do right away.  We recently went back into the convo about cloth. The ultimate reason hubby didn't want them at first and many people don't want them is to deal with the poop.  At that time I had been washing out baby washcloths that we were using since he had a diap rash, so ummm - the poop thing really wasn't a biggie for me by then.  So we decided to just try them out, and see how it goes.  We bought a diaper that a friend uses and a few inserts for them.  We got three diaper changes out of the shell and inserts before we washed it all.  Hubby realized that these are just as easy as disposable diaps, just unsnap insert ans snap a new one in.

Now we do plan to cloth diap 50-75% of the time. There will be certain reasons to prefer disposable over cloth. Mainly for visitations as they will probably easier for biomom to do and also possible for overnights once SB sleeps though the night.  The reasons I am choosing cloth is I think they are better for baby-less chemicals on his skin. And also, although they are pricey up front, ultimately it is cheaper to cloth diaper a baby.

So the diapers we are using are Best Bottom diapers with maybe a few BumGenius thrown in. Best Bottom's are snap in insert diaps that grow with your baby.

Also I am really excited to try out "baby wearing." It is supposed to be very good for the baby. I believe my aunt bought me a wrap I registered for-so I am excited to try it out!!
