Cloth Diapering!

So I did it!  We made the decision to go to cloth diapers.  I'm using prefolds and covers and wraps.  I haven't totally made the transition on Jocelynn yet becuase I only have 12 diapers right now.  I am so excited.  I can only imagine all the money we are going to save!  No running out for diapers or worrying about not having any diapers!




For those of you that haven't seen cloth diapers now a days, they are not like the old times!  There are NO pins, I use a little "T" shaped rubber thing called a "Snappie."  The Snappie makes it SUPER easy to keep the diaper snug and tight.


 

With the prefold choice of diapers there is some "learning" that needs to be done by whoever is going to be changing Jocelynn's diapers.  There are many different "folds" you can do, but you don't have to know origami to fold them!  I use an unbleached Chinese prefold.  There are MANY videos on Youtube that talk about cloth diapering.

For covers I chose for now to go with Thirsties covers and I have 1 Thirsties Duo wrap.


I do plan on getting a couple "All-In-Ones" diapers.  Essentially they are just like disposables as far as there is no folding involved, but you don't throw them away.  Extra easy for those that don't want to deal with folding.


I am so psyched we chose to do this.  I wanted to since I was pregnant and was so shied away from it, but deep down I knew I wanted to cloth diaper and I am doing it.  I figure if I can breast feed I can do ANYTHING!
