Better Diapers

Apparently most of my friends already knew this little secret ;) but here it is anyway. Seventh Generation diapers can be bought for less on Amazon.com. If you subscribe to the diapers (commit to getting them anywhere from once a month to once every six months) you save 15%, making them a just few cents more than buying huggies at Costco. (I will pay attention next time I am in Costco and get the exacts.) But I was excited to find a way to get the better for my baby diaper without spending a lot more than I would on other diapers. Plus, they don't have annoying patterns!! I was getting so tired of Mickey and Minnie, I bought Target diapers the other day (they were on clearance!) and was thrilled to see other things on them.

(I still use cloth, but my older two wet too much at night, and every now and then we are gone too much and I fall behind on laundry, or we take a road trip. . . )

Cloth Diapers!

Cloth diapers can be incredibly overwhelming to figure out, especially when starting from scratch and researching on the internet. I personally love them, and am really happy to be using them! I feel like a better mother using them, not that I think less of people who use disposable. Personally, I was afraid to even look into cloth diapers. But when I did, the argument was overwhelming. Why spend the money on diapers when I could spend it on something else? Something a lot more fun than poopy bottoms? If you are interested, here are a few good starting points:

A good, incredibly thorough site with everything from directions to mommy reviews. Best to stay focused and look for the information you need. :) I can get lost forever here.

Good directions along with detergent and diaper cream reviews. My favorite for the basics!

Has a useful list of basic do's and don'ts for cloth diapers.

While you're at it, consider washable wipes and save yourself an additional approximate $200 dollars, per baby. Wow. Honestly, I never envisioned myself here three years ago, but now that I am here, I could not imagine doing things the other way. Weird.
