Why I chose to Cloth Diaper.

I will admit it... I always felt left out when I saw other moms cloth diapering. "Wow, she really has it together" I would think to myself...

I took the risk and paid $150 for 24 gently used cloth diapers... and I will never go back.


Granted, I cant speak for formula fed baby poop, but breastfed baby poop is water soluble...
Dont understand? yeah, either did I. What it means (to me..and, in real life) is that you can throw poo and all into washer and it wont ruin it.

After much trial and error I came up with a good routine..

I do NOT wait and do my diapers all at once, found out the hard way that the few diapers you had set aside is NOT enough to last until new diapers are clean, so I wash throughout the day.

I first put load into washer (duh) add soap and do a "pre-wash"

Then, I do a complete cycle on hot with soap, twice. Then I do one more pre-wash to make sure there is no soap left behind.

To dry- in summer I use a line, in cooler weather I set machine to low heat.

It is so incredibly easy I honestly wish I did this all along with BOTH kids.

If you have wanted to try cloth diapers, just do it because you wont regret it!
