I have physically given birth to three boys, but it was only after my last that I discovered cloth diapers. Let me be honest; it was only our strong like of eating regularly and our weak cash flow that prodded me on this one.
I won't do something that takes too much time, too much money, or too much hassle. I thought cloth diapers was too much of all of these things. LOL! But, besides the two packages I bought before he came and the pack I received as a gift, I haven't bought any disposables since my son was born two months ago! I can not believe that I allowed myself to form an opinion of something before trying it. You don't even need diaper pins, anymore! We use a new contraption called a Snappi. The greatest diaper doodad ever!
Although you really can't find a whole lot of merchandise, aside from Gerber cloth diapers, in actual stores (think buildings) like Wal-mart or Target, a quick google search sent me to CottonBabies.com, and I don't think there has ever been a website that I was more excited about!
I really had to put the brakes on here, cause there are so many cute covers. They even have a clearance section of what they call "seconds". I bought only seconds, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with anything. I take that back. One cover has a tag that lays backwards...hey, it's gonna be covered up by the baby's clothes anyway!
CottonBabies has alot of information to help you get started, and alot of products to choose from. Even in our situation, where money is tight enough to split in half and cough up dust, we were able to inch our way up to full time cloth dipes.
Another great site that I found through CottonBabies.com is diaperpin.com. Lots of know-how! I don't think I will ever use disposables again, and this is coming from a me. I hate inefficiency. Unless it's talking when I should be working. I really need to get out of here and get up the road to the cleft doctor!
Does anyone have any views on cloth diapering? Any good or bad experience?
