Getting Started

My oldest child is 4 over the years he has had terrible skin rashes due to allergic reactions to everything.... At times when they where at their worst I would cloth diaper him... I would scour craigslist find some Crunchy mom who was selling her stash and make due till the rash healed. We would then find ourself back in disposables until the next bad rash.

Now with the recent birth of our new son I stockpiled tons of disposable diapers and prayed. This baby has not nearly the issues my first son did but I can already see problems he is having and I am gunna make the switch.

So I'm sure when you think cloth diapers you think white cotton and pins, you probably think of the inevitable leaks. When I told my grandmother she was sure I could just cut up some old flannel blankets like they did in her day. (Note To Readers) I love my grandmother but she is crazy why would I do that when I can spend a small fortune on cute wonderful diapers my child is going to poop all over.

So I joined a Diaper site that allows mothers to talk trade and basically all thing cloth diaper and did some research. I then hit e-bay, etsy, hyena cart, the trade forums and spent a small fortune that I cant describe in detail but lets just say 4 days into shopping i'm probably coming close to $1000.

Im sure cloth diapering is a lovely way to save money if your not a compulsive shopper.

So over the next couple days I am going to journal what arrives and as soon as I have a nice "Stash" we will make the switch completely stay tuned....

Oh and just a note when I say completly this is void in regards to daycare they will get sposies <-- Disposable Diapers I don't expect this of them.
