We've gone through a
LOT of diapers over the past 2+ months.
Like 1,500!
So as the girls have gotten bigger, we've gotten braver.
I started primarily using cloth diapers with Addie when she was 6 months old.
Why would I do such a crazy, insane thing?
1.) attempting to avoid the chemicals found in and created by disposables
2.) the extreme amount of waste we were producing
3.) expense
Why have I already started using them with Anne Perry and Audrey Kate?
1.) expense!
No matter what incredible sales you find or what coupons you stockpile, there is no getting around that diapers are
expensive!!!
We have been so blessed by friends and family to only have to buy a
very small portion of the disposables we've used, but we have about 10 days left of size 1 disposables.
So we took the plunge. And aren't they cute?

These are gdiapers. I have 6 smalls. They are a little different than our bumGenius diapers we will eventually use full time. I kind of feel like I'm cheating. These have biodegradable (and chlorine free) liners that look like ginormous maxi-pads that you insert into the diaper liner. The diapers rarely get soiled because of the plastic liner inside them, so very little washing!
The downside? Unlike the bumGenius we use, these are size specific. The upside? They are perfect for tiny little 2 month old bottoms!
