more on cloth

If you'd like to learn more about cloth diapering (cding) please go visit this blog. This particular post is excellent in explaining all the different types of cding from a real mom's perspective. A friend of mine's sister also cloths and she has a blog dedicated soley to cding. Visit her here.

I have done so much research on cding. I've scoured the internet, checked out books from the library and asked other cding mom's questions. I feel confident with the brand I've chosen that it will be right for our family. But the thing I've been told is that if they do not work for our little on to keep on trying other brands and styles. So that is what I plan to do.

I've been told, "the novelty will wear off", I've heard, "ewww"... etc, etc. The fact is that I HAVE to do this. Financially it is a must. I will make it work. Why spend thousands of dollars a year on something my kid poops in and throw it away. Plus the fact that I am home makes washing doable. If I had to send him to daycare we would for sure be using disposables as I don't think many daycares will do cloth.

Cloth diapering has changed over the years. There is no swooshing in the toilet anymore. Breast milk poo diapers can just go directly into the washer. No swooshing. There are disposable liners for solids that can just be dumped in the toilet and the liner will disintegrate. There is no pins. Just cute covers in many different patterns.

To me the only difference between cding and disposables is the laundry. I will be doing more laundry. Simple as that. But I do at least a load or 2 a day at this point, so what's another load every other day? Seems simple enough to me.
