I'm always looking for new ways to save money. As such, I was reviewing ways to save money with baby D. I decided to start researching cloth diapering. While I was pregnant, I asked the hubs if he would ever want to cloth diaper. He said absolutely not and I was fine with that. Now I'm intrigued. I have a coworker who cloth diapers and he said it works well for them and its inexpensive. Once I started researching though, I was overwhelmed. There are so many different styles or methods to cloth diapering and different steps to take just to correctly lauder the diapers. Let alone all the different brands...but then again I love researching and I was not about to give up. I decided on doing pocket diapers as it was close to disposables but we could change the absorbency. This was important as baby D keeps peeing through his disposable diapers at night. But what brand to choose? And would the hubs get on board?
After researching more on pocket diapers, it seems like the bumgenius 4.0 diapers are popular and well liked. I ordered a couple to try and anxiously awaited the shipment.
In the mean time I had to get the hubs on board. To do this, I just talked his ear off and hoped that once he saw how it easy it was, that he too would like to cloth diaper. But then the shipment of those cute pocket diapers were taking forever and baby D was still peeing through his diapers at night. Then while I was at Target I found this:
A Charlie Banana pocket diaper. This is one that is not talked about much online but I was dying to try a cloth diaper so I purchased it. I brought it home, washed as directed, and waited for bedtime to try it out. That night was miraculous! It worked!
In another post I'll update on which diaper I like better, how cloth diapering is going, and if the hubs will ever get on board.
