back to CLOTH

After a recent conversation with a mom happily cloth-diapering her baby I decided to give it another go. She suggested that using a special detergent might make the diapers more absorptive which seemed like a reasonable enough conclusion so I decided to put in the effort. I also decided to use brand new diapers so the leg elastic would be nice and tight. And lo and behold, we have been using cloth diapers during the day for a week or so now with no leaks!!! We are still figuring out our storage and washing cycle but, as far as their effectiveness, the adjustment has been easy. We still use a disposable at night which I think is fairly commonplace. The best part - they are super-cute on his little bum!

Even Lucy thinks so...
