Now we are on baby number three and I have over 40 diapers, most I made, others I bough from WAHM's. Its worth the investment to have them and to know that what you are putting on your babys bum isnt chemically enhanced!!! Great post, I truly enjoyed reading it :)Kat https://www.blogger.com/profile/13339602715485604736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149664287965616549.post-47480034405411674722012-04-21T22:12:56.629-07:002012-04-21T22:12:56.629-07:00I have 2 in diapers and we have saved a ton of mon...I have 2 in diapers and we have saved a ton of money on cloth. We were spending around $100 a month on disposables. I wash every other day now and I spent less than $300 total on our stash. Its all about watching for sales just like anything else. I also make diapers out of recycled fabrics and use flour sack towels that are only $1 each. So it can be economically savvy to use cloth. Thanks for the tips!<br /><br />PS. I don't find lugging around the dirty diapers to be cumbersome. I just throw the wetbag in the diaper bag in place of the dry ones. Doesn't take up anymore of my space. But I know a lot of moms who use disposable liners in their diaper covers to avoid having to deal with the messes. Another option, perhaps?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149664287965616549.post-49326750476228821822011-03-22T03:51:42.710-07:002011-03-22T03:51:42.710-07:00Really well written post :-) I never tried these e...Really well written post :-) I never tried these either, but I do recall my mum when she had my sisters, and the unending washing cycles. But I must say you make a really strong argument for these, line or no line between tress to hang them from!Danièlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18378805779170435364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149664287965616549.post-43591381510366021032011-03-21T12:04:45.695-07:002011-03-21T12:04:45.695-07:00Never thought I'd so enjoy reading about diape...Never thought I'd so enjoy reading about diapers.Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01557963803225800931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149664287965616549.post-46341117114062465792011-03-21T05:47:08.701-07:002011-03-21T05:47:08.701-07:00I have 4 kids and never used cloth - it never appe...I have 4 kids and never used cloth - it never appealed to me, and I have looked at the costs since I have a friend very much into using cloth, like yours on the line. I don't know that they are necessarily cheaper by the time you buy the nice cloth sets/accessories and the washing, versus store brand/sale disposable diapers. I have my littlest one still in diapers, but she only needs about 4-5 a day and my disabled child at 7 is in pullups. He uses about 3-4 a day, since he does attempt pottying, but in a wheelchair, it's tough to be unstrapped and moved in time. It's whatever works for you, IMO. Of course, the other two are past that, but I once had 3 in diapers at the same time. Cloth would have been a nightmare.Myrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163175961766563965noreply@blogger.com
