Adventures in Cloth Diapering, Part 2

Okay, we're sold! Jeff & I are loving the cloth diapering so far. After the initial adjustment period, it seems so easy now. We're sticking with the flat diapers with covers for day and the duo diapers for night.

Because you aren't supposed to use diaper rash cream with cloth diapers, we put Shay in a disposable the other night with her Boudreaux's All Natural Butt-Paste as her little bum appeared to be getting a little red (no rash, but we wanted to take preventative measures). Jeff actually discovered now that he's used to the cloth diapers, he actually finds them easier to put on Shay than a 'sposie.  Incidently, we really like the all natural butt paste. I recognize all of the ingredients and feel better about putting that on her than other stuff with mile long ingredients lists, half of which I cannot pronounce let alone recognize. I want to try the Thirsties Booty Luster which can be used with cloth diapers and is supposed to be a good, all-natural diaper rash preventative, but another time.

Once we decided we were going to commit to the cloth diapering thing, I went ahead and purchased a couple more covers, duos, a Planet Wise cloth diaper pail liner in lilac and Thirsties Fab Wipes. I figure, hey, if we're going to go cloth, might as well go all the way. This way, we can nix the Diaper Genie II Elite bag refills and baby wipes off of our shopping list. We can just toss the flats, covers, duos & wipes all into the Diaper Genie pail lined with the cloth liner and then toss everything into the wash when it's full. We just got our stuff in the mail the other day so haven't had much time to try out the cloth wipes and liner but I'll test 'em out and report back. I do have to say, everything is so cute and in such bright, fun colors! We now have diapers and wipes in orchid, rose, honeydew, mango, meadow, ocean, white, etc.
