After I had my second child is about the time I first looked up anything about using cloth diapers, I knew that cloth is a better choice for our environment and safer for baby's skin. At that time, we were still living in a 2 bedroom apartment with a shared washer and dryer for 7 tenants. We didn't have a diaper service in our area at that time, either (Although now there is! Read my review of Soggy Bottom Diaper Service HERE). I honestly still didn't have a clue about cloth diapering, I couldn't find a way to make it work right then. But I really wanted to use them instead of disposables. So I found some cloth training underwear and plastic pants at a garage sale and decided that at least would be worth a try. My daughter was 18 months and potty trained in less than a week when I started using the garage sale finds. I did have some success with cloth, afterall!

When I became
pregnant with baby #3, I went on a mission to understand everything about cloth
diapering! I joined a local Facebook
cloth diapering group and asked a hundred questions. A few of the members really went out of their
way helping me learn all I needed to know to get started. Armed with this new knowledge, I decided that
using prefolds and covers would be the most budget-friendly for our family. We
bought about 40 prefolds and 2 covers, newborn size. I love the simplicity of using prefolds, how
they stack so neatly and are easy to organize. Plus they're cheap enough that
you can cloth diaper without completely emptying your bank account. Although I must mention that it can be
difficult being frugal because there are some absolutely adorable covers in
fabulous prints and colors out there...
I am amazingly lucky
to have a couple friends that generously destashed which gave me the
opportunity to try a few "one-size" AI2's (All In 2's) including
TrendLab, Fuzzibunz and bumGenius. To be
honest, I really prefer the bumGenius brand so far out of everything I've tried, and I set forth on finding
the best deals online for them. I found The Green Nursery to offer packages at
reasonable prices, with a great rewards system that gives you points per
purchase that add up and used like cash when you redeem on future purchases. And referring others can give me more points
also! Please click the link above to sign up

5 days after I
ordered, the diapers came. They look so
pretty all stacked up, and absolutely adorable on my baby girl!
