Fluff

Ahhhh, nothing like a stack of fresh, clean, fluffy diapers.  I really love them, and if you know me at all--you had to know that this post was coming! 

I think this time around with Laurel, I was confident enough in the basic mothering skills that I wanted to take on a new challenge- cloth diapering.  A lot of my students inquire about it, and I thought that I should have some first hand experience.  I researched and researched until finally when she was 8 weeks old- I bought my first set.

Doesn't she look cute at 2.5 months in her first wool soaker?

It is really not that hard.  I bet it only adds 2 extra loads of laundry per week.  Even my older girls (who did not get cloth) call disposable dipes "scratchy diapers". They have turned into diaper snobs. You wouldn't believe how far cloth diapers have come.  No more folded diapers with plastic pants...times have changed mamas!

They are really quite cute and trim. It is just a simple little thing that I can do to reduce my family's impact on our environment. (Pretty sure that my dad is rolling his eyes right about now.)  I haven't ventured into the land of sewing my own...not sure that I will get their either.  I would imagine that Laurel will begin toilet training next summer. 

Until then, I think hemp, fleece, cotton and wool wrapped buns are pretty cute!
