We're TRYING Cloth!!

I'm really excited to do this. I know some of you may think "what on earth is she thinking" but they've really come A LONG ways with cloth diapers these days. I have to say don't knock it until you've at least checked it out! I did A LOT of research on them and what would go into cloth diapering and this is what I've come up with!

• It doesn't have to be 100% cloth!! For every cloth diaper I use that's one less disposable that I've paid for and one less diaper that's in a land fill some where!!


• For every child you have, from birth to potty training you spend about $2500 on disposable diapers! If you do cloth instead, it may be an expense at first... i.e each diaper can be anywhere from $15- $20+ so if for each child you said they go through no more than 10 diapers a day...and had enough for 3 days...that's $450 if you did 100% cloth. Not only would you be able to use that diaper on more than one child...because you can buy one size fits all...but you could sell them when you're all done! I've found that these diapers REALLY hold their value!! It's amazing!! So say you spend $450-$500 all in all on these diapers, use them for at least 2 children...that's a savings of $4500 PLUS then you can sell them and from what I've seen you should be able to get at least $9 each diaper depending on their condition! If you keep them in good condition it could be even more!! So say you get at least $9 each...and you're all done diapering so you sell them all...that's $270 BACK...so it only cost you about $230 to cloth diaper two children!! That to me sounds MUCH better than $5K!! Think about what you could do with all that money saved!!


• Ok so I know there is dirty diapers involved...however...did you know you can buy disposable liners to put in the diapers so when your child poops, you can just throw that in the toilet!?! How easy is that!! Then just wash the diaper! No biggie!!

So I know it's not for everyone...but all I can say is for me, it's TOTALLY worth a try!! I'm sooo game for saving some money!!

I am starting out with just a few diapers to see what brand works best for Liam! We went with 1 bum genius with snaps, 1 bum genius with velco, 1 fuzzi bunz with snaps, 1 happy heinys with snaps and 1 happy heinys with velco! Here's the picture I took of them yesterday...I was sooo excited to get them in the mail!!

They're sooo cute aren't they!! I can't wait to try them...not to mention how soft they are!! OMG I'm jealous Liam's heiny's going to love them :) lol! If you want more information email me...I've done soooo much research I have information coming out my ears! lol. I'll let you know how we make out...my plan is to wash them tomorrow and try this weekend!! We'll see how it goes!! Wish us luck!!! I'd love to put that extra money in my pocket!!!!
