It's amazing how my attitude on so many topics has shifted since I've had a kid--even since I was pregnant. For example, I always thought I'd get an epidural. No drugs during childbirth? Don't be crazy! But once I was pregnant my desire to do it drug-free grew stronger until I decided that was my preference unless it was a medical necessity to do otherwise. Thankfully, I got what I wanted and had a natural childbirth--and I'd do it again.
Which brings me to today's topic: cloth diapering. At some point during my pregnancy I decided that I wanted to try to cloth diapers. Part of it was environmental, part of it was financial. So after the initial newborn stage, we bought some cloth diapers and tried them out. We didn't like the actual diapers but didn't mind the cloth so we tried another brand. Worked like a charm...and for a while.
We've been CD-ing since Evan was about 4 or 5 months and he's almost 14 months so we've been at it for a while, but sometime last week-ish I decided I was done for a while. Why, you ask? My kid poops about 4-5 times a day. Yes, true story. I do feed him very healthy food but I guess I should lay off all the fiber, huh? Seriously, it's just too much poop to deal with each day. I feel somewhat guilty about the disposables but it's so nice to just take off the diaper and toss it...Maybe I'll get back to it soon, but for now I think I need a break!
LOl! My friend Kim tried this as well, and didnt like it because it was not convenient. I applaud you that you did it for so long, I could never do it, especially if my kid went poop 4-5 times a day..OYE! :):) LOL
