Cloth Diaper Update

This is 24 hours worth of diapers in our house.

I told you about a month ago that I was going to cloth diaper again. With two babies and one toddler in diapers we were using a TON. It feels so nice not to have to open all those packages of disposable diapers.

At this point, Lil' Ruthie and baby D are in cloth all day and all night. Baby E is wearing cloth during the day but I put him in a disposable at night. I will transition him to cloth overnight eventually.

I used "Antsy Pants" when I potty trained W years ago. They are a pull up style cloth diaper.  I pulled them back out to use for Q overnight. He won't need them much longer but I am glad I don't have to buy pull ups any more. Those bad boys are expensive.

Lil' Ruthie and Baby D are currently using BumGenius Elemental diapers. They are an organic cotton diaper.  I am still trying to find my way with them. I much prefer organic cotton over microfiber. At night they are wearing BumGenius pocket diapers stuffed with a flip organic cotton overnight insert and two hemp doublers. 

Baby E is using BumGenius all-in-one size small diapers with an added hemp doubler stuffed inside. I am also using some pocket diapers with him snapped down to the smallest size. They are stuffed with a small microfiber insert and a hemp doubler.

I got rid of my diaper sprayer so I am using disposable liners this time. It is working well for us. I appreciate the ease of clean up when we are out and about.  

I am washing diapers every night. I have enough diapers that I could wait and wash every other day. However, I have enough dirty diapers per day to make a nice sized load. I wash between 20 to 25 diapers per night. I like the idea that they are being cleaned each night and not sitting around dirty. Diaper laundry is my favorite laundry to do. It just makes me happy to see all those diapers clean and ready to use again. I know that sounds weird but cloth diapering moms will understand.

So there it is.  My cloth diaper update after a little over one month. I am sure there will be more to come.
