Well, I was excited about our jump into cloth diapers, but now I realize how convenient disposables are! Ethan seems really happy in them though, especially since I let him hang around naked long enough to take these pics. Day 1 went pretty well, but Day 2 (today) we had a poopy mess! I thought he was pretty predictable with the dirty diapers, so we had planned to use disposable liners to make it easier. Well, that didn't really go so well...
If you are interested in the non-dirty details, we're using the BumGenius FLIP system, which is basically a one-size wipeable fabric cover that goes over an absorbent insert. You don't need to change the cover each time, since it doesn't touch the waste. For the insert, we're using several layers of microfiber and prefold diapers (similar to the Gerber kind often used for burp cloths). There are tons of snaps to adjust the rise and waist, so you can use the same covers all the way through potty training.
They are more bulky than I expected. Ethan is already in 12 month clothes and the cloth diaper makes him look like a sumo wrestler. We're moving on to Day 3, but hopefully it gets a little easier! Here are some big smiles and adorable arm rolls...
Sooooo excited for a TEXAS visit :)
