Cloth Diapers = FLUFFY LOVE!



Right before I found out I was pregnant with our youngest child, I told my mom that if I ever had another baby that I would try cloth diapering. Then a few months later - I discovered that I was pregnant. That was it - I was going to give it a try.


Hubby immediately shot it down. I quote "I ain't changing no cloth diapers. You can. But I want no part in them." I didn't care. I still wanted to use cloth. So I started researching. WOW! I got scared at all of the choices, terms, and sites. I changed my mind.


So when our little one was born - it was disposables all the way. But the idea of cloth was still in the back of my mind. After four months of disposable diapers, I started thinking about it them again. So I started researching. I discovered a cloth diaper board on my mommy site. So I decided to jump in and ask what I needed, where to start, and all the other "newbie" questions. I was directed to Nubunz.

Nubunz diapers are pocket diapers. They ae very much like disposable diapers. They looked pretty easy and best of all these were cheap. Plus they were having a seconds sale (which by the way is not always the way to go). So I broke down and bought 8 pocket diapers. I was excited. But then the doubts came. What if they leak? What if they stink and make my house stink?


And then they came in the mail. So now I had them - no what? So back to the diaper board. They gave me instructions on how to prep them. Pocket diapers are pretty easy to prep too. You just need to wash them first before you use them.



So I picked a weekend and used them only at home (I worked outside the home and hubby was not going to have any part of them). Well they worked, and guess what I liked them. And they contained the worse breastfed poo!! I was in love.

So to make a long story short, we are %100 cloth diapering. Even hubby uses them.


FLUFFY LOVE!
