Diapers are a HUGE expense at our house. Since Jude has such sensitive skin, I buy the Pamper's Sensitive Swaddlers and the Pamper's Sensitive wipes. I figure that between the two I spend close to $30 a WEEK on just those two items!!
With Jude's belly button all healed up and back from vacation, I finally started cloth diapering Jude over a week ago. I had some cloth diapers from when I cloth diapered Julia for several weeks before we started potty training. I also bought some more pretty cheap from a fellow mom who made them. I also found a pattern, so I could make them myself if I wanted to.
My, my how cloth diapering has changed in the last 20 years since I last changed a cloth diaper. Now they are SOOOO similar to disposables!! No nasty plastic pants and diaper pins. I prefer pocket diapers, which is a diaper that has a pocket so you can stuff the inside of it with an insert. This insert is then removed for washing. It cuts down on the drying time. Once the insert is stuffed into the pocket is is just like a regular disposable diaper. A lot of cloth diapers had snaps as closures, but I prefer velcro. I feel I can get a better fit with velcro.
So far colth diapering has be working GREAT! AND..... cloth diapers are so much cuter on than disposables!
