Following up on on my last post about “clothies“:
Wow, these diapers are cool. We have had our first day of using the diapers. They look and feel nice. They actually fit our little guy. The Egyptian cotton wipes are so soft and pick up poo like magic! They work way better that disposable wipes.
While it is no fun to get the poo out of the diaper, it is really not a big deal. You already work with poo when you change a diaper and wipe if off your baby’s bottom so what’s one more step? We just wash it down the drain under hot water then go through the thorough laundry steps.
Today when changing Will’s diaper he flatulated while pooing and shot me with it! So, I was wearing his poo on my hand arm and, oh my, my face. Well, if I can wear the poo I can work with cloth diapers.
Also, one can think of it like this: Will came from me and the poo comes from the milk that comes from me… its just the left over bits that his body wont be using. See? Easy. So what are you waiting for? Switch to cloth diapers. Its better on your budget and the landfills. Then there is the process making and transporting them.
Now, let’s see how I feel about it next week :}
