Adventures in Cloth Diapering
This weekend we switched to cloth diapers. One and a half days in, I can't complain! We are currently using 12 Bum Genius 3.0 All in One diapers (size small). They fit James great, and so far no leaks! I also have 19 Bum Genius 3.0 One-Size-Fits-All diapers, but at the moment they are a little too big for James (so much for one-size-fits-all). I'll have to start incorporating those in as James gets a little bigger. Since we have 12 diapers that fit right now, we will have to supplement with some disposables on occasion. I really like the Nature Baby Care diapers- they have biodegradable components making them a little better for the environment (they can be purchased at Babies-R-Us or online). Our initial plan for washing the cloth diapers is: dirty diapers go in a cloth laundry bag (no rinsing required as breastfed baby waste is water soluble); every other day, diapers get washed and line dried (it's been over 100 degrees everyday here in Texas so we figure we'd take advantage of the heat- it's got to be good for something). I'm sure our system may require some tweaking as we go, but we're really excited about our new venture. I'll post an update soon!

I am impressed! I've contemplated the cloth diapering thing, but not long enough to do anything about it...
Can't wait to hear how it goes!
