Cloth vs. Disposable

Since approximately half way through my pregnancy, I wanted to try cloth diapering. A couple of folks I knew were already cloth diapering with success. Justin wasn't so sure about it. Between him and daycare "not" on board (aka, not allowed) I didn't go any further.

I envied each time I read a post about cloth diapers. I wanted to do this. Good for the bum, good for the earth, and GOOD FOR THE WALLET. A fried posted that she had a couple of diapers for sale. I JUMPED ON IT! I did not say much about it to Justin. Then while on vacation, I researched like crazy. I convinced him that it was going to work. Let's try and "if it does, it does" & "if it don't, it don't".

Being that it's summer and my job gives me summer off, what better time to give it a try. From the first diaper I had a fetish. I am in love with the cloth. Madalynn seems to be more comfortable. She isn't red when you take her diaper off. Mostly because she is, usually, dry to the touch when her diaper is removed.

I have worked my magic and Madalynn will be using the diapers at daycare. Our house brand favorites are Smaripants and BumGenius.
