The decision to use cloth sort of just came from no where. I am not an overly environmentally conscious person. I don't really love doing laundry. And yet I couldn't resist the idea of soft cloth on my little boy's skin, and super cute fabrics for summertime when he will spend lots of time in just his diaper.
I won't lie, it's been a challenge. And probably not something I would recommend to the squeamish or for a mom who is always on the go. You have to make the time to wash them and put them away. I have tried a few different methods, and I find that if I don't make the time to rinse the nappy after EACH change I am sorry later. I've set it up so that I can just put him down and switch on the mobile to keep him entertained while I clean off the nappy and wash my hands. It's working pretty well, but I have to remember to do it every time. I also need to wash every 1-2 days. If I wait any longer it becomes a hassle because the weather may not be good for drying and we end up in disposables for a day. But, after using cloth the thought of putting him in disposables isn't very appealing. So I really try to stay on top of it.
I bought a range of brands and types, and this was the smartest thing I could have done. I definitely have my favorites, but for the most part they are all very good. The one shown here is by at WAHM (Work at home mum) named Holly, and her brand is called Bum Cheeks. Other favorites are Little Britches, Bonnibuns, and Cushie Tushies :)
