I have a plan...and it involves cloth diapers!!! Plus giveaway links!
It's been decided!!! We plan to cloth diaper our babe!!!
That's right: I AM GOING TO USE CLOTH DIAPERS!
(I'm shouting it in announcement so that I can't go back on our decision and we'll definitely have to follow through...lol)
It was actually DH suggestion several weeks ago. At first I thought he was crazy, but then I began researching, and I must say - they are just too CUTE!
Of course, there are many more reasons to cloth diaper:
1. Economical - the cost savings can be very significant when using cloth vs disposables - disposables can cost upwards of $2800 for a baby's life in diapers - cloth can cost anywhere from $200-$1300 per child. As you can see there's a vast difference!
3. Environmental - obviously reusable cloth diapers don't end up in the landfill - not like the 49 million of disposables that land there EVERY day!
4. More reliable - disposables have a bad habit of allowing blow outs - cloth diapers are made and designed to better prevent such accidents. Now I haven't had the joy of experiencing such an event, but I know I want the best secure diaper there is to prevent them!
5. And many many more advantages! Read up on them here, here, or just do a Google search - there is loads of materials out there to help you make your decision to switch to cloth!
Oh yes, and one more personal bonus for myself and other thrifty mama's (mama's to be) - I can make my own! Stay tuned for posts and updates on my diaper sewing fun!

Congratulations on making that decision, I would love to see what pattern you decide to use and how you go about it.
Congrats!! I'm a 7-week-old Mommy :) and made the decision to use cloth, too. So far, so good! I wish more people would realize how easy it really is.
I used cloth diapers too. I loved hanging them out on the line to dry. It was a bit of therapy for me.
That's great to hear! I plan on using cloth diapers in the future when I have a kid. Report back on how you like them! :)
