Diapers

Ok before I start, I was just looking at the pic that is at the top of the blog. I am as far along in that pic as you are now. How funny. So I am going to give you the links to some different diaper websites that Rachel gave me a long time ago.  The diapers that I bought from her are these

with these covers

The situation with these diapers is that if you have about 24 then you will have to wash them every other day. If you have 36-40 or so then every three days. Now you only need a couple of covers. I have three of the air flow ones and they are all I use. I love them. So only 3-4 covers is all you probably need. You can get liners if you want but most of what I have are just fleece squares that Rachel cut out of a piece of fabric.  The liners here are nice for night time when they will wear the diapers for longer periods of time.

So Rachel told me that she has a friend that has used just about every kind of diaper and really loves the all-in-one cloth diaper.

Here are some videos that show how to use them. They look cool and I might consider these.

There are a couple of other things that you will need along with all the diapers. First is a wet bag. Now you can get these in two sizes. I have 2 big ones and 2 small ones that I use. The small ones are for your diaper bag when you are out and about.

The last thing you will need is a mini shower. This hooks up to your toilet and you use it to spray the poopie diapers off.

Jeff and I have actually talked about putting a utility sink in our laundry room so that we could have warm water for some of them. But that is in the future.
Now when you look at all of this you might be overwhelmed with the cost. As I said before, if you price out disposables for 2 + years then you will end up spending less. I guarantee. Some people will argue with this but I really believe it. I really like using them. They are a little more work but so worth it. Well I think that is all. If you have any more questions just let me know. Also, there are a lot websites with cloth diapers if you just google it. You can also look on craigslist for them. If a person has only used them for one child then they will still last a couple of kids for you and would be worth it. Just an idea.
