Cloth-diapering Journey: why we cloth-diaper

One of my passions is cloth-diapering. Yep. Some people may find that crazy while others may totally relate to the "fluffy addiction." I just love it! 

For privacy reasons, my daughter will be referred to as RaeRae on my blog and fan pages.


Three main reasons why we cloth-diaper:


1. Good for her bum! (No chemicals like disposable diapers have). Less rashes, if any, and oh so soft!


2. Good for environment! (No stinky disposable diapers in landfills). It takes YEARS to break down those sposies (nickname for disposables). Cloth is reusable and all the cloth diapers we have can be used for our next baby. Then when we're all done, we can sell them to other mamas!


3. Good for our wallet! Think hundreds of dollars. Disposables average about $2,000 per baby from birth to potty-training. A good set of cloth diapers can cost as low about $300 to last for the entire time from birth to potty training! Some people may think that's a lot of money to pay up front, but you can certainly buy one diaper at a time and during pregnancy too! There are options...many options! 


Okay, there are FOUR reasons why we cloth-diaper (and this last reason is pretty much for me, hehe):


4. They are soooo CUTE!! Seriously, there are so many cute prints out there! I love picking out different colors and designs for her to wear. Sometimes I like to pick out diapers that match her outfits. When she's a bit older and when it's warmer, she can just wear the diaper alone for cute photo shoots or crawling around.
