I always thought that I would be a cloth diapering person. Even before I met my husband, and even before I was sure I wanted to HAVE children, I knew that the wastefulness of diapers was not my thing.
But once I was pregnant, I wasn't so sure about it. We got a brand new puppy one month before I got pregnant, and I spent months cleaning up messes, preventing messes, following her around waiting for messes... I was overwhelmed! So I said no to cloth diapering and we loaded up on the disposable variety. The less contact I had with poo the better!
Now I should be honest, thanks to the generosity of friends and family we haven't spent a dime on disposable diapers. The baby is 3 months old and I've bought (maybe) two containers of wipes (only because they were super cheap).
But I see the end of our stash in sight, and I see the amount of plastic diapers filling up our plastic diaper pail bags. So I was ready to try cloth diapering.
Stay tuned to learn about my (very successful) cloth diapering experiences!
