Some People think I’m CrAzY–The Cloth Diapering adventure!

Some People think I'm crazy, and 4 years ago I thought one of my friends was that took on this adventure! (sorry Jamie :) )So with Kiersten the only thing natural I really did was make her baby food!  Yes, and some thought I was crazy then as well. I know for a fact how easy making baby food was!! Once a week I made baby food and froze it.  If we were eating something that I thought Kiersten would like fresh then I just blended it up and fed it to her!  I’ll be doing the same with Katelyn once she gets old enough to start eating. But this time it will be a bit easier because my mom bought me a baby food making kit!  So with that said Cloth Diapering is my new adventure and so far its been very easy.  I chose to use pocket diapers, because of the ease of use and the price.  After all I am doing this to save money most of all!  There are many types of cloth diapers out there…. prefolds, fitted, with covers, Pockets, and All in Ones.  All in ones are the easiest probably, and the most like disposable. Everything is encompassed in the diaper and you just put it on and wash it.  However I didn’t find these to be cost effective…or at least not as cost effective as the pockets.  Pockets are similar to AIO diapers except you have to stuff a soaker insert into them.  Other than that you put it on, take it off, pull the insert out, and wash, then after wash stuff the insert back into it.  Yes cloth diapering will add a couple more loads of laundry a week however I think its worth the money saving.  All my cloth diapers cost me $138.00, I bought a 24 pack for 108.00 and got three other ones for $20, so I have 27 diapers all together! The ones I bought are One size diapers which means they snap smaller and unsnap to make bigger so they will grow with Katelyn and I shouldn’t ever have to buy any more!  Now think of how much a pack of diapers cost… I did just buy a pack of pampers size 1, 128 diapers for 24.95.   (my husband says he refuses to touch the cloth, so i'm still obligated to buy some disposables) Those would last us….aprox 10 days.  So in about a month and half I would have paid and thrown away what I just paid for my cloth!   This alone is what convinced me to try cloth!  And now I’m addicted to its cuteness!!!
