Ok so I have been cloth diapering our youngest for about 3m now and am still enjoying it!! No more having to buy diapers at $40/box. I wanted to use cloth with my middle child, but just couldn't get over the amount of up front money to buy what I needed. However a friend mentioned that she was making diapers and I thought, "I can do that!" so here we are and things are going great! The longer I use them, the more obsessed I become!! haha I am finding all types of blogs to read and websites to go to. Finding out that my idea to use hooded towels and recieving blankets is something common to other cding Mommas! So far, I've used old flannel my mom had from making dad a new shirt for xmas every year since they got married (30+) and old tshirts and made myself a bunch of prefolds. The only money I've spent is to buy 4 size M Motherease covers and 2 size 1 thristies duo wraps to start with and now I've purchased 6 more thirsties duo wraps size 2 and I love them! I would have only purchased the thristies had I known how much better I would like them! Now I'm getting creative about other things to use. All extra recieving blankets have gone into the diaper stash along with extra hooded towels and a few extra burp cloths to use as doublers for nites. I'm trying to decide what to do about the wool soakers. I would really like to find a good pattern to upcycle one I think, I just need to ask family/friends if anyone has an old wool sweater. I've also recently been turned onto the idea of fleece from one of the blogs I'm following and I know I've got old fleece pj's that could be upcycled!
So I'm very happy with my switch to cloth and wish I would have done it sooner! And I can't wait to get my clothes line up so I can hang all the cute diapers/covers in the summer sun!!!
