We’ve Gone Cloth!
It’s official we finally took the plunge into cloth diapers. We have been talking about doing this for some time but once you have a kid everything you had planned kinda goes to pot, at least until you get your bearings again. Now that we’ve gotten into our groove with Cameron we finally had enough courage to do what we said we were going to do and we bought into the cloth diaper realm. And we totally love our new cloth diapers!!
L did quite a bit of research on the topic before we spent the money and it’s a little expensive at first but over time it really pays off. We chose the Fuzzi Bunz cloth diapers and would recommend them to any parent who is thinking about going cloth. They have the best overall fit, comfort and come in a variety of colors.
One word of caution, these diapers are a little more work than your typical disposables but once you get the hang of it, it’s really not any different than the normal routines you find yourself getting into once you have a child. The amount of times we empty the diaper gene went from once a week to almost once every three weeks and Cameron actually has less diaper rash with cloth diapers.
In addition, we simply feel better that we’re not just filling landfills with crap (literally) and we’re probably saving, from what we’ve read, up to 2000 dollars in diapers over his lifetime. I bet with all the extra washings we do now that estimate might be a little lower but still…we’re doing what few people do and many want to do. We highly suggest doing cloth diapers as they are both eco friendly and they look really cute on!
If you’re thinking about trying cloth diapers check out Fuzzy Bunz Website and if you’re here in Austin, this store has a great selection and really helpful people.
