So today marks 7 full days that I have been cloth diapering Noah, except for at night time. Not brave enough for that yet, but I'm sure I'll try it at some point.
My first mail delivery of cloth diaper paraphernalia included this bunch of accessories:
Wet bags, cloth wipes, odor remover, fleece and flushable liners, diaper cream (which, as it turns out, isn't actually that safe for cloth diapers), a diaper sprayer, and pail liners.
This was very exciting, but I received this package before receiving the big shipment of actual diapers. So I was feeling... bereft.
The next day Noah and I drove out of town to meet up with Erin and Aubrey at a huge indoor play place. It was super fun, and when I arrived home, my huge package of diapers was waiting at the side of the house! I immediately ripped into them. I considered just washing one of each type, but then decided to just go ahead and wash them all. Diapers have pretty good resale value, so if I didn't like them, I would sell them. I spent that whole evening doing several wash cycles to get them ready for the next morning. Man alive, the washing machine really goes slowly when you're excitedly waiting for something that's in it!
This is all my diapers, washed, prepped, and stuffed (except for the bamboo diapers on the bottom right), prior to my first day of diapering:
I bought Kawaii's. I got 30 diapers and 60 inserts (10 of which are bamboo) for $169.99. I read the reviews, I liked the price, so I went for it. I have 7 different styles of Kawaii diapers, but there's 6 piles here because the one pile is a solid snap diaper, but there's original and ultra soft in that pile.
I have used every diaper on that table at least twice, except for the ones with aplix. They've only been used once.
I'll do a more detailed review of each diaper in another post.
For now, here is Noah in his first diaper of the day on his first day of full-time cloth diapering:
"Seriously, Mom, what is the big deal?"
