Diapers


Top ones are GroBaby diapers and the bottom ones are SoftBums


When you are pregnant, people tend to give you lots of advice. Some I just take with a grain of salt, some of it I tend to think "what was the point in saying that?", and other pieces of advice I actually stop to consider. I know that we'll just do what works for us and hope and pray that we are good parents. Now that the time is getting closer to her arrival, preparations are in full swing. Stocking the shelves with supplies, doing load after load of laundry, and picking out a myriad of "things" we need for her. One of the things I've heard a lot about lately are cloth diapers. Now, they aren't the cloth ones you are thinking of that your grandma used. These are actually re-usable, brightly covered "shells" which adjust in size as your child grows. You just snap in the washable liners and go. When it's soiled, you throw them in the washing machine and you're ready for the next few days. After doing the calculations, we could potentially save $1000- $2000 in the first 2 years of her life. That's a lot of money. The true question is, am I brave enough to try it? The jury's still out.....

  1. When they are new born it's easy, it's when they start eatting solids that cleaning those things gets gross.
