Step 4 to Green: Cloth Diapering
Yes....I know what you are thinking....you are CRAZY!
We registered for several cloth diapers when we were pregnant, but only received one set. As scary as cloth diapering sounded, we hesitated and only started trying it yesterday.
Mind you, I remember when cloth diapering was a diaper (burp cloth) with funny pins! Yes, Angela, I remember changing those diapers on you!
Now, the diapers are snazzy with an ultra absorbent liner that you switch out every time your baby has a wet diaper. The actual diaper stays dry, as the liners pull away the moisture. Then, you change the whole diaper when its dirty.
We have started trying with the BumGenius diapers. We currently have 2 diapers and 2 liners, but found a set of 25 being sold on Craiglist for $25! So I snagged those up quick.
I have been pleasantly surprised at how easy it has been and so ecstatic to realize how much money we are going to save!!!!

Have fun, and if you ever have ANY questions at all, definitely let me know! I'd love to help!
(Oh, and if you have a a sewing machine and want to save big bucks you can sew them yourself. I can barely sew a straight line and I made a bunch for Nate. If you're interested I've got a great pattern I love.)
That pattern sounds like an interesting option too...Courtney - where did you find it?
