Last night we used the last
of the disposables.
I spent the evening sewing velcro into the 4 cloth diapers I had previously
sewn.
When I put on her new diaper this morning she loved it. A couple hours later
she came to me and said 'poop'.
The dreaded word.
I went to go change it and it really wasn't that bad. It actually keeps a
normal consistency in cloth as compared to disposables that turn it into that
nasty stuff that sticks to everything. I just emptied it into the toilet (no
swishing, no dunking) and put the diaper in the diaper pile. She had even wet
in it and her clothes were still dry. I did not use a cover, just the 100%
cotton 'pocket diaper'.
I put on her new diaper and she was so excited when she got another cloth one.
She just kept saying, "nice". I don't blame her. I wouldn't want that
plastic 'cloth' with super absorbing chemicals next to my *&@%!
I still have several containers of wipes, but I am going to make a few cloth
ones and start using those. I heard they clean a LOT
better than the disposable wipes. I'll save the disposable ones for when I really
need them.
One day has not been bad. I think I can try it for another.
We'll see how Mom likes them when she comes to help watch the kids this
weekend. I'm sure nothing could be worse than the old-style ones she had to use
on most/all of us (when did they come out with disposables?)!
