cloth diapers
I know, I know ~ I can hear the groans and picture all of the rolling eyes. The response to Ashley’s decision to use cloth diapers has been less than well received. Everyone seems to have the opinion that cloth diapers are just “too” something ~ too messy, too smelly, too much work, too inconvenient…….they’re just too much.
But have you actually seen cloth diapers lately? They’re incredible! They’re so much like disposable diapers it’s amazing. They have an absorbent inside and a waterproof outside. And they can velcro on! No more nasty soggy prefolds, diaper pins or plastic pants. The new cloth diapers are seriously fantastic. A friend of mine has graciously offered to make a dozen newborn cloth diapers for us at a wonderfully discounted price. Since most people don’t believe me when I tell them cloth diapers are akin to disposables these days, I thought I’d show you a few pictures:

****Note (added later) ~ I forgot to mention, these cloth diapers are called All-in-Ones, meaning they have a soft, absorbent material inside and a waterproof material on the outside. No wraps or rubber pants needed ~ they’re so much like disposable diapers it’s amazing, and yet they’re so much better for the baby and the environment. Yep, I’m one of those ~ when my boys were babies, if I had known exactly what I was putting on their precious little bottoms, we would’ve been an exclusively cloth diapering family, even though those were the dark ages as far as cloth diapers go. I did use cloth diapers with Sawyer, but only about half the time. I’ve had plenty of experience with Chinese prefolds, diaper pins and rubber/plastic pants! They weren’t really that bad, although I will admit that it was much easier to use disposable when we were away from home. Nowadays that’s just not the case ~ the all-in-ones have revolutionized cloth diapering!
