Often times when people hear that we cloth diaper Emmeline they are surprised & often look scared for some reason! We have been cloth diapering for about 2 months and I love it... we use the Bumgenius 3.0 One Size Cloth Diapers. They are adjustable and snaps allow them to grow with your baby. People often ask if you have to dunk the diapers in the toilet, and the answer is no, the creaters of these have thought of everything and make them so easy to use, you simply buy a special hose that you attach to your toilet, it acts similar to a shower hose and sprays clean water to remove the muck from the diaper directly into the toilet. You then store the diapers and inserts (a microfiber rectanglular piece that fits into the diaper and does the absorbing) in a well vented storage container until you are ready to wash them.
Here are some of the reasons we choose to cloth diaper:
- Better for the environment
- Better for baby
- Better for the wallet
- You get a better sense of the fluid your baby is taking in (important to monitor if breastfeeding)
- They are super cute and come in fun colors
- They are as easy to use as disposables, with velcro closures.
- I did not want to use a cloth diaper service because the thought of "shared" diapers was not appealing to me.
