Expecting twins has really got me thinking about the everyday costs of raising babies. Diapers, baby food, formula, clothes, doctor's visits and the list goes on and on! But don't get me wrong, we cannot wait to meet these little girls and we know that no matter what life throws at us, God obviously thought we could handle this new journey.
Well one thing I never thought I would consider is cloth diapering. When I think of cloth diapering, I think of the "old school" burp cloths folded up and pinned together. Ya know, what our parents probably used to do at some point in time. My how things have changed! Something told me to check it out. I used to swear by disposables, for the convenience, never even considering the cost.
I decided to take to social media to get opinions and I was shocked at how many of my momma friends use cloth diapering. Not only do they use cloth diapers, but they love it and swear by it! This really got me thinking! So away I went researching! And what I have found has gotten me incredibly excited!
There are so many different kinds and brands of cloth diapers, but I personally have been drawn to the BumGenius brand. For any moms out there debating, I'd definitely check it out!
The diapers are not only user friendly, but they grow with your baby from 8 up to 35 pounds! Amazing! Plus they are pretty darn cute! The initial sticker shock can be scary, but when you weigh the initial cloth diapering system cost to 2-3 years of disposables, it's a no-brainer! They are easy to take care of, perhaps extra washing time, but that doesn't bother me. The cost of water for my HE wash machine is pennies compared to the cost of disposable diapers for two!
A special thank you goes out to my friend Megan, who really opened my mind to the idea! At first, I thought she was crazy and I am so grateful that she took the time to talk to me about it, answer my questions and walk me through how everything works. So THANK YOU!
I am attending a Cloth Diapering 101 class very soon and will be happy to share the knowledge that I gain of this modern practice! I just wanted to share this to say not to be close-minded about this concept. I once was and I regret not checking into it sooner!
