A 6 month update on cloth diapering

6 months almost to the day, have gone by since we started cloth diapers. I can say 100% that I am totally happy with the decision to switch to cloth. We still have disposables for the day care (they go occasionally) and random trips but 98% of the time they are in cloth. The only blow outs we have had with Siena have been in disposables. Just the other day I had her in a disposable because I was stripping the diapers ( i do that once a month) and I went into the room to get a new diapers and when I came back she had some how wiggled around enough that the poop had shot up her back and into her hair. So gross!

The extra 2 minutes it takes to wash the diapers right after they come off the kids, before putting them in the laundry room really isn't noticeable any more. I am hang drying them so the extra power isn't being used and the dryer isn't heating up the house. The every other day of washing the diapers really doesn't bother me. They come out of the machine perfectly clean every time. I think the only part that gets us behind is the stuffing of the diapers. We decided to do it before hand that way they are ready to use at a moments notice rather than stuffing one when we need it. So some times that extra 5 minutes can make or break us.

The diapers have already paid for them selves and I would recommend to any one even thinking about cloth diapering to give it a chance.
