Why Cloth Diapers Rock
Yesterday I was feeling stressed. The house is a wreck. The kids are really hyper! The baby seems to be sleeping a little worse. I am hoping it is just a growth spurt of some kind. So yesterday when I was at the store I grabbed some disposable diapers for the kids. We only have just enough cloth diapers to last us one day. So I am washing EVERY day. I figured this would be a perfect break to give myself. A weekend without having to wash diapers.
But the only glitch in my plan was that last night Peanut leaked right through the disposable and I had to change her clothes and her diaper in the middle of the night. When she woke up this morning she had a major blow out and there was poop all over her clothes and the crib sheets. So the joke was on me…I ended up having to do extra laundry anyway.
So all that to say that cloth diapers are AWESOME! No leaks, no blow outs, and much better for babies bum. And after using cloth for so long, using a disposable is weird. They smell funny, not clean.
And today is my husband’s birthday!!!! He is 28 and I love him and so glad he is part of my life!
hehehe sorry that’s too funny. Sorry about your extra laundry.
I totally agree! We have used cloth diapers since my 13 month old was 1 day old. Recently she was sick, I was sick, changing icky diapers was just too much for me while I was running a fever myself. So I switched to disposables for a couple of days.
She was drenched in the middle of the night both nights. And, cleaning icky stuff off her her toes and rinsing out her pajamas was WAY worse than cleaning the cloth diapers. The smell of a wet disposable is just gross. I kept saying “You can’t SMELL that?” to my mom. She is used to sposies with my nephew and nieces, so she said she could not smell it, but it was turning my stomach!
I was SOO happy to go back to cloth, that I did not even bother to finish the one little pack of sposies we bought.
Yea! Please tell hubby we said happy bday!!!
I agree, disposable’s smell so yucky compared to my cloths…though I still put Noble in a disp. at night b/c of the whole issue with the cloth hurting his bum overnight…we’ll have to talk about that next time you are over so you can help me to brainstorm how to fix it!!
love you:)
