t's official the rest of my cloth diapers just arrived! I'm in the process of getting together everything I need to make the switch. Dipes, cloth wiipes, wetbags, a diaper pail etc...
Once I get settled into cding, I will post a beginner's guide to cloth diapers for other moms who are interested. So stay tuned!
For now though, I thought you might be interested in why I am making the switch from sposies to cloth.
1. I find myself very into natural/attachment parenting. I knew I was going to bf, but I didn't expect to become such an instinctual mom. I've found my expectations were out of line with the reality. I expected James to sleep in a crib. I expected him to use disposable diapers and love riding in a stroller. That's not what worked for us though, and I have learned to trust my gut.
2. That gut has been telling me that I needed to research cloth diapers. I felt guilty throwing away all those sposies.
3. I found out some interesting facts: the chemicals in sposies are associated with toxic shock, blindness, etc. I don't want that next to my son's privates. Disposables take upwards of 20 years to decompose. The average child goes through 1200 disposable diapers in the first year. (I found a lot of info a lot of places, some of it differed in factuality, but the principal was the same: diapers=chemicals+waste).
4. I found that cloth is much easier than it once was and very cute!
So wish me luck. I can't wait to tell you guys how it's going!
