1 week of Cloth Diapers

Imagine Prefold with a Snappi

Alright, guys!  We have officially made it a little over a week of cloth diapering!

Let me just say, those first few days I kept thinking, "Oh no.  What have I gotten myself into?"

It is intimidating at first.  How do I wash them?  What if they leak?  Did I pick the right detergent? What if I hate this?  Will my husband kill me if I just spent all this money and want to just use disposables?

As of right now, I don't hate it.  I also don't love it.  I am somewhere in the middle.

Here is a little summary of things:

What I like about cloth is...

-Rarely having to buy disposables (we use them at night for now)
-Saving money
-Fun colors and patterns
-Superiority of holding in explosive poop

What I don't like about cloth is...

-Extra laundry... lots of extra laundry
-Stress of making sure I am doing it right
-Stains on my pretty diapers

Things I am still figuring out are...

-Which detergent really is the best
-Best way to put on the prefold
-Which covers of mine leak and which don't
-Which type of cloth diaper I like the best
-Is it cute for babies to have an abnormally large, puffy butt
