Yep, that's my son wearing a cloth diaper. Even before he was born I considered cloth diapering, but knowing I was going to work full time, he'd likely have to be in disposables for daycare, and why torture myself with cloth diapers the few hours a day I was home? So, we went disposable. When I quit my job, I again considered cloth diapers, but was so used to disposables, I never did switchover. Well, I've been thinking about it again, and with potty training looming in the not so far of distance, I figured, hey, what the hell, might as well give it a go. studies show that toddlers in cloth diapers tend to potty train faster than kids in disposables. And of course there is the financial and ecological benefits to cloth diapering.
I went to the hippie store (aka Wild Oats) and picked up a diapering kit that actually consisted of two cloth wraps with disposable/flushable inserts. To start my experiment, I'm using the wrap with a Chinese prefold inside. This gives my son some serious booty. My baby's finally got back!
I admit, I'm a little scared of the first poop. I have no idea what kind of mess this is going to be. I don't really know how gross it will be to wash these things. But, I've got plenty of time, energy and hand sanitizer to explore my inner hippie.
