Cloth Diapering 101

When I announced to my family and friends that I was going to cloth diaper my babies, I got the response, "We'll see how longs that last!" Well, two years and two babies later I'm still lovin' my cloth diapers, both Bumgenius One Size and G diapers.

Let me tell you why...
  • G Diapers are so cute on their little tushes.
  • They have saved more than a thousand dollars in diapers!
  • I never had to run out to the store to get more.
  • My babies get rashes in disposable diapers and never once in an cloth Bumgenius or G Diaper.
  • G diapers velcro in the back-- When your baby hits toddler age, they'll start to pull off their diaper and this prevents it from happening!
  • I love knowing that my babies are not exposed to chemicals in their diapers.
  • Bumgenius are best at naptimes, and G Diapers look better under clothes.
What's not great about cloth diapering:
  • You have to spray off poopy diapers with a diaper sprayer.
  • You have to wash diapers every day/every other day.
  • I do, however, use disposables at night and when I'm running a longer errand.

I love hearing about this! I have always wanted to cloth diaper my babies. Do you think that this is something that a babysitter or nanny could handle during the day? How many diapers do you need per day on average (both for newer babes and toddlers?) Do you use a wet or dry pail? How about washings... any tips there?
haha thought I'd pick your brain... hope you dont mind!

Adah is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! She looks so much like Lyla, but also nothing like her ;) We miss you here in Erie!

I work for a King.

I work for a King. He has put me in charge of His home. When He comes to see how I have managed His possessions and His children, I do not want to be found wanting. I want to do my best. Everything I have is on loan from Him. I have room and board and a job to do, but it is all for Him.
Therefore I want to dress my best, and do my best in all my work. I also want to be creative, for this is a sincere attempt to glorify Him and His beautiful creation. How I manage my home is a form of worship to Him.
