A Cushy Tushy

I received a package in the mail yesterday,
 filled with something I thought I would NEVER get excited about.
Diapers.
We have decided to give cloth diapering a try,
and to be honest I'm excited...who knew diapers could do such a thing.
It's not that our little love's bum is too good for disposables, 
and we aren't saying we will never use them,
but if I can avoid adding to the already over polluted landfills full of diapers,
then at least I feel like I'm trying to help.
I know, I know,
you are probably thinking why in the world would anyone want to attempt this
BUT...I promise they have come a long way.
We decided on using an All-in-one system by BumGenius (or AIO in cloth diaper lingo).
The system is quite simple and aside from being slightly more padded than a disposable,
the theory is the same. 
Baby does its business, you wipe the baby down, dispose of the diaper, and start fresh.
Except this system requires washing the diaper instead of throwing them out.
At first I thought, YIKES that's a lot of laundry,
 but then I actually had my tiny and realized I was already doing laundry nearly every day,
so why not throw some diapers in there too?
And if nothing else, they make for the cutest bum I have EVER seen.

    1. So far they are great. We will see what happens when we get to the "real" poop stage once she begins eating solids but so far we are loving them. I never would of thought I would tell someone we were loving diapers..my oh my things change.
