Am I crazy?

I would like to think not.  I never thought of myself as a cloth diaper mom....but it looks like I am going to be one. I was going to go with Gdiapers, but then my two friends who are cloth diaper pros talked me out of them. Am I the only mom on here that is going to be a cding mom? We are going to be cding 80% of the time, if not more if I have anything to say about it. Dh will  not change a cloth diaper, but I think I can talk him into changing them if they have the disposables inserts in them. I am actually really excited, esp since I found some with owl prints.

Re: Am I crazy?

  • I think I might be too. Since I will be staying at home whenever we have a little one it makes it easier. My mom said she will not change them so she can use disposables when she watches the little one.

    My friend just had a baby and it using them and so far likes them. 

    I heart Ben!!

  • Lissy CD's I believe.  I am very much considering it for the eventual babies.  I will see how my cousin does(maybe do a few diaper changes while I babysit fer her little one.  But its something I am definitely open to.  So no you are certainly not crazy.
  • I think that we're going to cloth diaper too.  Drew is totally against it, but he can suck it up and deal with it.  The cost savings alone is enough to make it a good decision, plus it's better for the baby and the environment.

    What brand did you up going with.  I've heard great things about Bum Genius.

    Drew says that he makes enough money that we don't have to worry about that.  He needs to get off his high horse and realize that it's better for the baby.  And his dad better keep his two cents to himself about it.  My mom cloth diapered all of us and loved it!

  • I really wanted to, but DH was totally against it. Since he works from home and she stays home with him during the day, he won that one.

    I went with Gro Via, both my friends raved on them. I didnt get their inserts though and just went with bummies preemie cloth inserts that my one friend said she uses and they work a lot better with the Gro Via. I can't wait to start using them.

  • We didn't because DH is the main diaper changer and he was against them.  Recently we were looking at them in the store and he saw how cute and easy they are, so I think maybe for the next one.  I'd consider switching now, but we only have a tiny stacked washer/drier and the landlord won't replace it if it goes so no sense adding more laundry!

    I know i am not crazy, I just have to keep telling myself that lots of women  cd and its not like what it use to be (try telling my dh that though) I am pretty excited.

  • We thought about it for a long time, but I wanted a diaper service and we couldn't find one near us. I still haven't ruled it out for our second.

  • I'll admit that I'm kind of sick of having to do laundry every 2 days (that's what's recommended, or else they'll stink), but every time I use a disposable on Jacob, it just doesn't feel right. I like putting cloth against his cute little soft bum, and other parts.

    We are exclusively Bum Genius. Daycare uses them without a problem. They are just as easy to use as disposables if you get the new generation of CDs (not the prefolds). Tell that to all YHs who don't like it! The only problem with them is the laundry and if they're not doing it, then what's their problem? :)

    Dealing with the poop really isn't a big deal, either, so the hybrid disposable / cloth covers seem a little besides the point to me.
