4 month Cloth Diapering update

Welcome once again to THISNURSINGMAMA. We have been solidly cloth diapering now for over four months. I have to say it has been one of the best things I have done for my baby. Second to breast feeding.  

After having success with Alva Baby and Kawaii I started to branch out to other brands as well.  We won a thirsties giveaway for a duo wrap cover and 2 duo hemp prefolds. This awakened an interest in using prefolds and covers. We have now acquired Grovia, and Best Bottoms covers as well.

We have also picked up a few more Kawaii and Alva Baby as well as a couple of Sun Baby pockets aswell. In addition we have begun to give wool and fitted a try as well. Our new top favorite is the flour sack towel. I will do reviews for it all as soon as I can.

All this in 4 months? When I first pondered cloth I never thought we would do it full time. But the incredible results we have had as well as the fairly easy maintenance has made this a wonderful and believe it or not fun addition to our family.

Baby N rarely suffers from rashes. If we get one it clears in a matter of hour to a couple days. They tend to be very mild rashes as well. His dry legs are no longer dry. We put lotion on them only as needed, not the several times a day we use to need.

N loves his diapers both him and R-L love to help stuff diapers. By this I mean the tumble roll and grab the piles of diapers inserts and flats. It has become a relaxing and fun event we all enjoy.

The laundry it's self, although it takes time is not difficult. And our routine has barely changed since the start.

I know we will continue to use cloth through potty training.
