I have a confession to make. I am lazy. Well, at least when it comes to cloth diapering. I would say that currently Hendrix spends about half the time in cloth diapers and half in disposables. This is not a percentage I am happy with but oh well, its reality.
I use
Bum Genious 3.0s. They are easy enough to stuff and wash but I only use them when we are home and during the day. If we are venturing out I am totally grossed out about having to carry around the dirty diaper in bag until we get home and can throw it in the wash. I am also nervous about leaving them on over night since he barely makes it through the night with the disposable and the thought of him waking just to be changed is not one I am too fond of.
Washing the cloth diapers take minimal effort. Even the nastiest of poop diapers are easily cleaned. I dump the diapers in the wash, put the detergent in, and turn it on. Done and done.
I feel so much better when Hendrix is all warm and cozy in his cloth diapers and
damn, they sure are cute. Plus, the added bonus of helping out the environment makes me super happy and tingly inside.
I have been so diligent about everything else. I
exclusively breastfed. Now, I
exclusively feed Hendrix homemade baby food. But I have failed at exclusively cloth diapering.
So I am curious, Cloth Diapering Mamas and Papas out there...are your little ones exclusively in cloth? How do you keep up?
