So, I finally bit the bullet last night and ordered cloth diapers. I'm absolutely, positively, and utterly terrified.
Why? I dunno. I just am. It seems cloth diapering isn't the "social norm", which I don't really care that much about. But I am having lots of reactions to my decision - wrinkled noses, talks about dunking/swishing diapers in the toilet, "Good Luck" (with maybe a skeptical expression), blah blah. Kris supports me, and that's really what matters at this point... (Although, I'm not sure if he knows what he's agreeing to.) :) Anyway. But it's just something I felt like I wanted to pursue. It's cheaper in the long run, yes. It's good for the environment, yes. But I'm not really someone who is super environmental friendly, I recycle what I can, but I am far from being a crunchy mama.
But, more and more I looked into it, cloth diapering was something I wanted to try. If I really hate it, well, so be it. I know I tried it. Also, all the chemicals that are in the disposable diapers didn't really appeal to me. I tried to research it a little, and most of the info are on cloth diapering sites... I want to go find a resource that is unbiased, but here's what I did find in the meantime:
