Cloth Diapers Ordered

When I tell people I plan to use cloth diapers most often I'm met with a horrified look. The next thing people tend to say is "We'll see how long that lasts". Cloth diapering has evolved so much in the last few years. No more boiling diapers on the stove, no more pins. In the long run they will end up saving us a TON of money as we can use them over and over again not only with Baby Boy, but with future kiddos! Plus they are better for the environment!

The ONLY real difference is instead of throwing them away, you toss them in your washer. They make this handy little sprayer that resembles a small shower head that you hook up to your toilet to spray out the poo before putting them in the washer. You might think this extra step is a hassle, but it is actually stated on disposable diaper packaging that you should flush the contents of the diaper before throwing away. I don't know anyone that actually does that, but still.

I ordered BumGenius 4.0 diapers. The size grows with the baby. Will fit 7-35lbs! They were having a special Buy 5 get one free and any orders over $100 get free shipping. So I ordered a total of 7 diapers for about $104.00. I still need to get more, but I might get a few different brands to try out to find which ones we like best. There are SO many types and brands to choose from, that it is very overwhelming. BumGenius came highly recommended and after countless hours of internet perusing and research I decided they would most likely fit our needs. Plus, how cute are they?!



Also, if for some reason certain brands don't work for us we can sell them and buy more of the ones that do work for us. Cloth diapers have an insanely awesome resale value!
