I Wish I Knew...


I wish I knew that cloth diapering is NOT that big of a deal! A lot has changed since my Mom cloth diapered us all those years ago! I was impressed with the "modern cloth diapers!" Research has revealed much to me lately regarding commercial disposable diapers. With Jackson's eczema, I found myself buying lots of diaper cream because of severe irritation. So this week, I did it! I took the small financial plunge and adjusted to the routine of Cloth Diapering!

My Conclusions:
1-Do your research! Yes, it's less in landfills and better for the environment. But more importantly, educate yourself on what's really in disposable diapers and it's effects. In comparison, disposable cost a fortune, even the generic. Talk to other mothers who cloth diaper!
2-After 12 hours, Jackson's bloody behind was improved 50%! And within 24 hours, almost completely gone!
3-Brand doesn't matter, you just need to learn what you need, how to use them, and be patient by giving yourself a few days to figure it out!
4-Disposing of the XX isn't that bad, mind you, Jackson is moving into a more solid diet, so it is easier for me. :)
5-I wish I'd tried this with Maizie!
6-Kushies work great! Canadian made, so I was able to find these at the local Babies-R-Us and WalMart!
