Cloth diapering update.


 it is unanimous, at least between grandma, mama, and daddy.  and the verdict is...a resounding yes to cloth diapering! i love cloth diapers and would highly recommend using them for your little one.



i wanted to test out the whole cloth diapering business for at least a month before i bought more since they are a pricey investment.  when i finally made the decision that cloth diapering was for us, bum genius changed their elemental diaper to a "new and improved" version.  however, after much research, the "new and improved" version, is not really new and improved.  many moms disliked it saying that it was poorly and cheaply made.   most online stores and amazon sold out of the old style bg elemental diapers.  i even tried eBay.  but when i saw that people were selling used...yes, used...elemental diapers for over $30 each my jaw dropped.  heck no was i going to (A) buy used diapers and (B) buy 1 diaper for $30.



if you recall, i only have 12 bg elemental diapers.  these were given to me by my very generous colleagues at work.  since i only have 12, i have to wash them everyday which forces me to use disposable diapers as i wait for the cloth ones to dry.  this really annoys me.  i hate putting on disposable diapers on ella.  after using the cloth ones, which are way softer, the disposable ones seem so rough and thin.



i finally found 2 online stores that had a few left in stock.  bingo!  i ordered a total of 9 more.  once they come in the mail  we will be cloth diapering ella full time at home.  yay!
