We've been doing disposables, but I would really like to change over to cloth. It's just so hard to decide how to go about doing it! So many choices out there... but your post and the comments here do help.

Congrats on your ne...Hi Kristina, I love your blog! Congrats on your new baby! I had to comment about the cloth diapers because I have been using them too! My baby boy is 5 months now and we have used cloth since the get go and have LOVED every minute of it! I wanted to make some suggestions to you...(I am in no way affiliated with any diaper companies, I'm just a mom that loves the ones that work the best on my babe). <br /><br />First of all, I do like FB's but their definitely not at the top of the list for us. For us our go to's are the BumGenius Organic all in ones (with snaps) and the new GroVia hybrids! GroVia especially because it's less bulky diaper for fitting over tight clothes...and it is a problem fitting the clothes over the diapers sometimes! The BumGenius are all is ones, so there is no inserts or anything, just take them off and wash them as is...no stuffing like the FB's. The GroVia's have snap in soakers, so ideally, (and as long as the shell has not been soiled, and it will sometimes) you can just snap the soiled soaker out and snap a clean on in! Therefore you can use the same shell, usually, at least 3 times before it needs to be washed. Also, I love how stretchy the side tabs are, it really makes for a nice fit. Both of these diapers are one size fits all because the rise is adjustable. That way, you don't have to buy different sizes as your baby gets bigger. Both these diapers are very leak proof and Luca sleeps in them, without a leak for 8hrs plus during the night.<br /><br />That's just my two cents on the diapers that we love. And on a different note, I never wash off the diaper before I put them in the washing machine...my baby is still breastfed and I don't plan on doing that until the poop is solid and it can just be shaken off into the toilet=) I'm not looking forward to those days though!<br /><br />Here's a couple of resources:<br />Where we got our GroVia Diapers: www.http://thegreennursery.com/grovia-grovia-starter-mini.html<br /><br />About GroVia diapers: http://www.gro-via.com/media.php<br /><br />We get our BumGenius from the same place as GroVia or here: http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?cPath=98&products_id=1825<br /><br />Cottonbabies is a WONDERFUL website...it's a great reference on cloth diapers and they have so many great products too! And FREE SHIPPING! I love that website! <br /><br />I hope this info helps!

They aren't made with a gel, so they are more breathable. If your worried with leaking you can get additional pads for night time or put a diaper cover over them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053233671037217868.post-32585605486196295242010-06-18T09:16:57.589-07:002010-06-18T09:16:57.589-07:00Really great post!

I've read many a good thing on the toilet sprayer, and am convinced I will need one, and I've been seeing brand new fuzzi bunz all over my local craigslist, which is a score! The hubs and I have always said we'd go cloth for sure, but I like your idea of taking disposables on trips--it makes a lot of sense if you're not going to a family member's home or camping where you could get away with cloth dealings...<br />Good work, mama! :)Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12549570165035187814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053233671037217868.post-65967642237534298562010-06-17T21:51:08.902-07:002010-06-17T21:51:08.902-07:00Check out Good Mamas you'll fall in love with ...Check out Good Mamas you'll fall in love with them.

I've gotta say though, the advancements that have been made in the world of cloth diapering since 1978 are quite welcome.kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291233186222706297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053233671037217868.post-70221514773028372942010-06-17T11:51:38.157-07:002010-06-17T11:51:38.157-07:00Um, clearly I'm not there yet, and I puzzled o...Um, clearly I'm not there yet, and I puzzled over the terms a bit. But! It's funny, since we (I?) think of cloth diapers as sort of trendy and cutting edge. But looking at the pictures? I grew up only seeing pre-folds at our house (which, for the record, we also used for burping babies, and then much later as our dusting rags and wood polishing rags (Very absorbant).<br /><br />Anyway. So. It takes me back. My mom must have used disposables on trips, because she's not nuts. But I don't remember them. Maybe because we didn't take very many trips then.<br /><br />Clearly I'm the oldest.<br /><br />Anyway. So trendy and cutting edge, but also not.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526722516550185150noreply@blogger.com
