It's only been a month since I started cloth diapering Quinn, but it feels like it has been a lot longer. Not because I don't enjoy it, though. To put it simply, I AM OBSESSED! I am so obsessed with cloth diapering!! I am sure everyone who knows me is tired of hearing about it, but I do truly love it. I have been doing so much research on cloth diapers and have been so immersed in them that it feels like I have been cloth diapering Quinn since birth. There is so much to learn about cloth diapers and so many options to choose from.
I love the feeling that I am doing something good for the planet. I read that by the time a baby is potty trained they go through 8,000 to 10,000 disposable diapers and those diapers stick around for 300 years in a land fill. That means Quinn's great great great great great great great great great (I think I did my math right on the amount of greats) grandchildren will be around when Quinn's diapers are still in the landfill.
Quinn's cloth diapers are so simple. He wears a diaper cover and the diaper insert is all that needs to be changed, the cover can be reused throughout the day until it gets dirty (I am sure you know what kind of dirty I mean). I even started using cloth wipes because it made much more sense to just throw the cloth wipe in with the diapers to be washed rather than worrying about tossing out the wipe. And the wipe solution is easy to make and smells so good.
I am sure everyone is getting bored with all of this so I will leave you with this cute picture of Quinn in one of his custom BSRB diapers (made by a work-at-home-mom).
