Cloth Diapers

We officially started using our clothes diapers on Parker this week.  We have quite a "stash" (that is what all the cloth diaper people call it) by now, consisting of a few different brands: Fuzzibunz, GroVia, Flip, and Charlie Banana.  All of them are a one size version that are very adjustable and should last until Parker is potty trained.  Right now, Fuzzibunz are the only kind I am using because the elastic in the legs is adjustable so they already fit very well.  Here is a picture of Parker sporting a red pair.

They are definitely fluffier than a disposable diaper.  Parker was on the verge of not fitting in some of her 0-3 month clothes, so having extra padding on her booty has pushed us into those 3-6 clothes a tad earlier.  So far we have had no leaks, even overnight! 

I have been using cloth wipes all along.  I just get them damp and put in the wipes warmer.  Then when the wipes and diapers are dirty, we store in this handy hanging diaper bag until ready to be washed.  Since she is solely breastfed right now, the poopy diapers are easily cleaned in the normal wash cycle.  Once she starts to eat solid food, things will change a bit...the poo needs to be dumped in the toilet first.  But they make flushable liners that you can use to make the whole process easier.

We will still likely use disposables for traveling and other occassions, but will be cloth most of the time.
