I always enjoy seeing what is new and reading as people experiment and come up with what works for them.<br /><br />If your econobums wear out- give Bummis a try. They work with a prefold or fitted. And they just came out with cute new boy prints (JUST as my youngest potty trained!) Buy them new and treat them properly, they've jumped a little in price over the years but will last.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16130494587548828799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-48824210213980029182011-03-14T12:44:09.284-07:002011-03-14T12:44:09.284-07:00Samantha, so glad this post has been of interest t...Samantha, so glad this post has been of interest to you! I was curious (and more than a little nervous) to find out exactly what cloth diapering would be like, so I'm hoping that my experiences will prove helpful to others who are considering it!<br /><br />Jessica, I had indeed heard that newborn diapers don't need to be soaked -- I soak mine more out of preference than necessity! :-)<br /><br />Luci, I hope all of your cloth diapering research goes well! I hesitated to even publish these posts, since with only about 2 months under my belt, I still have a lot to learn! But now I'm glad I did, if it will be at all helpful to you! :-) It was definitely the high cost of ready-made cloth diapers that made me look for a homemade alternative -- While $20 a diaper will still be a savings in the long run, I had no intention of shelling out a few hundred dollars just starting out! If you already have a lot of flannel, you're set :-) <br /><br />Blessings,<br />Shannon~ Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882650511821959701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-71948058256489988632011-03-14T11:30:44.247-07:002011-03-14T11:30:44.247-07:00Shannon!

I love the idea of cloth diapering (well, I'm terrified of the messy diapers, but that's another topic altogether!) but have NO IDEA where to start. Making one's own diapers seems to be the most economical choice by far. (But I'm puzzled as to how we're supposed to be able to afford 24-36 $20 cloth diapers... oh well.)<br /><br />I can't wait to try the pattern you posted! My husband is even more excited, if that's possible, because he foresees me using up all of the flannel I have in my fabric stash. *wink*<br /><br />Can't wait to read about what daily cloth diapering involves!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />LuciNonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075368101950367697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-76558171028318172942011-03-13T17:09:36.453-07:002011-03-13T17:09:36.453-07:00Fun post to read...I love hearing what other CDing...Fun post to read...I love hearing what other CDing mamas are using! <br /><br />In regard to the Diaper Duck, do you know that you don't need to soak or rinse messy diapers if your baby is exclusively breastfed? Breastmilk poo ends up dissolving in the wash so until your baby starts eating solids, you can just toss the dirty diapers into the diaper pail (and then the washer) with no rinsing or anything. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-2357055401637821482011-03-13T16:32:37.839-07:002011-03-13T16:32:37.839-07:00Shannon,
Thanks so much for posting your research ...Shannon,<br />Thanks so much for posting your research on cloth diapering! I'm not married yet, but am always on the lookout for mothering advice to learn *before* I need it, and cloth diapering has been at the top of the list. I'm looking forward to your next post, too!Samanthanoreply@blogger.com
