Fluffy butt


Many of you might know this, but I've decided to cloth diaper this time. For lots of reasons. 1. It's an investment up front but it will be cheaper in the long run. 2. It's better for the environment and I'm kind of crunchy to begin with when it comes to that. 3. They are cute. Enough said.

We waited about 10 days to start on the cloth diapers and used up the disposables from the hospital. For those that might not know, newborn girls can bleed in their diapers from all the built up hormones from being in their mama's belly. We never had much of an issue with that with Meredith, but Anna was having bloody diapers so we wanted to wait until that ended.

It's been a week now doing cloth. I was just a tad nervous at first to put the first one on her but I quickly got used to it and I am loving it. It's a slight adjustment at first but it's really no big deal.

Cloth diapering has come a long way in the past four or five years. There are so many options out there depending on what your needs/wants are. And I do my own laundry. Diaper services are a thing of the past.

Here's a picture of little fluffy butt. We call this one Anna Moo. She has a red/white diaper that Meredith calls Santa Anna.
