diaper decision
we've come to a decision on cloth diapers. if ya don't care abou this...ya don't need to read on!! i know i'm going baby crazy here. it may not be interesting reading to all y'all. but keep reading if you are interested!
when we were in Ann Arbor at Tree City Diapers, we got to touch and feel all the different kinds of diapers. pre-folds to pocket to all-in-ones...it was a bit daunting. we had a specific kind in mind, but after feeling the materials, seeing the fit and getting 2 recommendations, we changed our minds.

for the first 6-8 weeks we are going to use kissaluvs with a cover. they're super soft and they even have a little snap in front to draw down the center for the belly button to heal. plus, they're just so darn cute!
then we'll switch to the bum genius diapers.
The reason we switched is I guess 4 fold.
#1. everyone we've talked to says to go with these. Bum Genius just revamped their diaper making it even better than before, and i hear they rock.
#2. they're one size fits all. so we could start the babe in these and end in these 2 or so years down the road. they can be snapped down for smaller babes and unsnapped for larger babes. with the other diapers we would've had to buy small, medium and larges, making the expense 3 fold higher.
#3. they look the comfiest. the material is soft and gushy. i want my panties to feel that soft!
#4. they just seem to be one of the easiest to use. we'll be paying a bit more than we would if we got pre-folds, but the convenience seems to win over the cost in my opinion. you place an absorbent liner within the diaper and then it fits just like a disposable. no snaps or covers. just velcro.
ohh yeah, i also found these cool biodegradable diaper liners. they look like a narrow piece of paper towel/toilet paper that you line the cloth diaper with. it wicks away wetness and with le poopy...ya just flip the diaper over a toilet and off it comes. essentially, there's no swirling of the diaper in le toilet. now, i've never used them, so we'll see when the time comes, but if it works, that would be nice too!
so yeah, that's my opinion. although it probably isn't much good since i haven't used these products yet, but from what i hear they're good. i'll let ya know what we think in 4-5 months!
