Cloth Diapers

Yes, Endrit and I are cloth diapering.  I have to say that I was nervous about starting it.  Since we had received so many disposable diapers for gifts I wanted to use those before I ventured into the cloth diaper realm.  Every once in a while I would use one cloth diaper here and there with her.  I liked the cloth diapers, but I had more disposables.

Well, we ran out of most of the disposables and started full on cloth diapers 3 days ago.  I have to say I LOVE them.  Not only are the diapers cute, I am finding that they work better than any of the disposables that we have used (Pampers, Huggies, and Luvs).

There are a few things that have changed since I was in cloth diapers as a baby. For one, they come in the cutest waterproof fabrics like froggies...

And Hello Kitty...

Yes, it is waterproof and it is called a pocket diaper.  There is a liner that you put in a pocket in the diaper for absorbency.  That means you can put as much or as little in there that you want.  Right now I am doing a triple layer of microfiber that came with this particular diaper type.  I also have plain covers called econobums that I use a prefold flat diaper and it works wonderful!

Another difference is this little thing called a diaper sprayer that is attached to the toilet.

It makes it SO easy to just spray the poop off of the diaper without having to dip it into the toilet.  Believe me, I had to do both, and I LOVE my diaper sprayer.

By far my favorite cloth diaper is the econobum cover with a prefold.  The simplest diaper I bought.  They are my night time diapers.  I have never had a leak with them.  I use the other diapers during the day because they hold less pee than the econobums and she would leak overnight.

So, yeah.  I am excited about diapers.  I didn't think that I would like cloth diapers as much as I have.  I know I only like them because the technology in the diapers has changed and I have a diaper sprayer. I love my little fluffy butt kid.
