Cloth Diapers

We use cloth diapers when we are at home and sometimes when we are on the go. I know that sounds crazy to many of my readers but I also know that I have converted a number of people to cloth diapering as well.
My reasons for cloth diapering are varied but it was mainly cost and the fact that they are more healthy. Saving the landfills from my diapers is a nice side benefit as well.
We used cloth diapers with Katherine as well and Caroline is using those same diapers so the savings is really adding up now. It especially adds up as I am able to sell some of the diapers we have outgrown to a friend for about half of what I paid for them new.
In the newborn phase we use a Kissiluvs fitted diaper with a Prowrap or Bummis cover. When the girls get bigger we have a larger set of those diapers as well as a lot of pocket diapers. Our favorites are Fuzzibunz and Bum Genius. Fuzzibunz are sized (S, M, L, XL) whereas the Bum Genius are a one size diaper so there are advantages of each.
A few months ago I entered a Friday Fluff contest on the Diaper Whisperer blog. Actually, I enter almost every week. But, I won! I won a large wet bag that I use in my diaper pail, a small wet bag that I use when out and about and one new diaper. It is a Blueberry diaper. The Blueberry diaper is very similar to a Bum Genius and I really like it a lot. It fits Caroline very well and has not leaked yet. It is the diaper she is modeling in these photos.

Cloth Diaper giveaway


We used cloth diapers for Katherine about 80% of the time until we went to Norway when she was 18 months old. We probably spent about $500 total for these cloth diapers. Now that Caroline is here, we plan to use these same cloth diapers starting in about a week. That is where you can really save some money. We will not have to buy much in the way of diapers for her at all.

This week is cloth diapering week at Baby Cheapskate's blog. If you have ever thought about using cloth diapers this is a great week to check out the different post relating to the topic. It can be a little confusing to start out and I also have a great document with all of the terminology explained as well as what we did if you are interested. This week the Baby Cheapskate blog is hosting a giveaway for 12 Bum Genius 3.0 diapers. I have a few of these and really like them so I am entering the giveaway and hoping to win. If you want to give it a shot, just follow this link and enter to win.
