Cloth Diapers...

Just for you Cindy!
I have eczema, and Zach and I were afraid that our baby would have it also when she was born (which she does have). While we were living in Alaska, we did a lot of research and found several different cloth diapers. My sister in law, Jen, also uses cloth diapers, and had bought lots of different kinds. She told us to try out the BumGenius. We bought them through the Cotton Babies website, because they were the most economical there. We fell in love with how soft they were. We bought 24 diapers for $400. At first it really was a large investment, but now we wouldn't buy disposable diapers for the world! Anyways, how much do you spend on a 2 year supply of diapers?? A whole lot more than $400, guaranteed!!
Carla doesn't mind having her diaper changed, and we love that! She has also never gotten a rash! The ones that we have are "one size." They can adjust to 3 different sizes, they fit from newborn until 35 lbs, so about 2 yrs. My friend tried them on her 1 yr old, and he hated having the messy cloth diaper so she new when to change him, and realized that it would be a whole lot easier to potty train him if he knew when he was messy and didn't like it.
We have a sprayer that hooks on to the toilet so that we can spray the poop into the toilet and then we just stick them in the washer and presto! Clean diapers! The other nice thing about BumGenius is that the diapers that a leak proof lining, so no blowouts! Poop stays where it should...in the diaper!
There are two inserts, one is the newborn insert and the other is the regular insert. When you start using the regular insert, use can also put in the newborn insert at nighttime if your baby is a heavy wetter!


My husband even loves these diapers! If a man likes them, then you'll love them! Added plus... they have colors!! So your baby looks oh so adorable just in the diaper!
