we did it


I can't believe we've done it, but we have switched from disposable diapers to cloth diapers. It's something that I thought about when we had Drew, but just didn't know much about it or anyone who did it. There's a great store in Fayetteville that put on a little workshop that I attended & learned all about it. The information I learned helped make it less intimidating. Basically, changing a diaper is changing a diaper. There are a couple of extra steps you have to do, but they have come a long way with some perks in the cloth diapering world... including a sprayer attachment for the toilet to spray away poop!

I am anxious about explaining to people that we have switched and am glad its out there now. We aren't becoming total hippies or anything, but it just seemed like a no-brainer to us financially & environmentally. Drew is actually still in disposables as we will put him in training pants soon after we get settled in Stillwater. Today was our first day in cloth diapers & we still have a lot to figure out.

(Yes, we know Benjamin is in OSU orange!)

  • that IS very impressive.....I get called a hippy pretty often so I wouldn't worry about it :) and hey....the cloth worked for me when I was a baby. Mom said she learned the art of the swoosh in the toilet for the dirty ones :)
