Lovely Pocket Diapers

As you know, I am very new to cloth diapering. The biggest complaint I have, is that the diapers are expensive. In the long run, much cheaper than disposables, but it's a little hard to stomach spending $20 + on 1 diaper.  When I came across Lovely Pocket Diapers on facebook, I thought it might be too good to be true - $7.00 per diaper? really - what's the catch? do they leak? fall apart in the wash?

I needed to build up my stash, as 8 was not cutting it. I decided to order 6. I anxiously waited for them to arrive (approx 10 days - not too bad!) and set about prepping them as soon as they came in!

I was pleasantly surprised when I felt the inner lining - very soft against babies skin! and they are super absorbant. I did a touch test when I changed him, and the lining was dry - but the insert was VERY wet.

I will most definitely be ordering some more of these Lovely Pocket Diapers, and recommend them - give them a try!

In honour of Earth day - yet another cloth dipe post

I recently bought a grovia diaper for Kyle - it is so cute. His little bum gets covered in owls now!

I love the fact that by using cloth diapers, we are helping to keep waste from the landfills. Yes, I use slightly more water now, because I have 3 extra loads of laundry a week - I hang them to dry instead of using the dryer, so I am not wasting too much extra energy (this is definitely a perk on the saving money side of things)

more on cloth diapers (yep, again)

As I have stated in other posts, I am really wishing I had switched to cloth earlier.  Today I need to return the trial pack I had from chiquita baby - and it makes me sad. I only have 4 of my own CD's, so Iwill have to use up the disposables I have, and then save some money and buy more cloth dipes.

A cute pic of my little guy with his cloth bum!

Coth Diapers - Day 1 =

SUCCESS!

I am so happy with how yesterday went. I used a few different types of diapers (pocket and flip, made by different brands). So far, the flip and the sweet pea pocket seem to be my favorite! And I must say, his little bum looks so cute in the cloth dipes!

I really wish that I had done this a long time ago. I waffled with the decision when I was pregnant, but really didn't think that my hubby would go for it. I guess I should have brought it up - oops.

Now I need to make some cloth wipes to use - and I will be all set.

For anyone in the Ottawa area, if you are interested in trying cloth diapers, check out chiquita baby. If your not interested in cloth diapers, still check them out, they have some pretty cool products in the store!
