   | The cloth diapering experiment has concluded, and we have decided to stick with it. It might be a little more work, but the benefits are worth more than the extra work to me. We have found that we really like pocket diapers, particularly those that snap (on the side is best) as Andrew has figured out how to undo Velcro. We had been putting Andrew to bed in a tee-shirt and diaper, and one morning Jordan found him without a diaper on because he had opened it up, what a mess that was! Andrew no longer goes to bed without pants. Cloth diapering has had some other unexpected influences on our life as well. I have really begun to enjoy how much less waste we create every week, (I am sure Jordan doesn't miss emptying the Diaper Champ twice a week either) so much so we are cutting way back on our paper towel usage. (Jordan loves paper towels, he always has at least one in his pocket, I(or Molly) find them all over the house) We now have a basket of cloth towels on the counter to use to clean up messes and dry our hands. A roll of paper towels used to last about two days, now it lasts a week! Many people have asked me where to find more info about cloth diapering, and it turns out that one of my favorite |
