Hi I just discovered your “Motivated Moms” checklist-I love it! However I’m due to have my first baby this December. Any chance that you have a checklist for new moms-especially moms who will be using disposable diapers? It might help me feel like I can get things done along with having a newborn

I’m on boy number two and have been using cloth diapers for 5 months now and i’m loving it. I have some Bum Genius and then i found out about a cheaper brand that i like just as much (maybe more) it’s called Kawaii Baby. They are also a AIO one-size pocket diaper and they are about $10 less per a diaper than the BumGenius ($18 less up here in Canada)

Thanks for your comment on my CD post! I have read all your info on cloth diapering, and have decided to make the switch! Even though our boys are over a year, and one is actually close to potty training, I feel like we really will save money. And the money in the bank sounds so good to me!!
I’ll be ordering this weekend– lets just hope they ship to the APO fast!

Not sure if this is ok to do here….

I used cloth for my third and fell in love with them. I have drawers full of the wonderful things, some barely or never used.

I was hoping for another child to use those diapers, but I’m nearing 40 and that 4th child just hasn’t appeared. I’m so sad. =(

Soooo, here I have drawers full of sad, not-being-used, unlikely-to-be-used cloth diapers going to waste. And here some of you are on a tight budget. If you’re interested in said drawers of diapers please feel free to contact me at keeleysbrooks at yahoo dot com.

I even have some wonderoos. I loved my wonderoos.

Leslie – I did the research knowing I would be on a super tight budget after #1 was born and we were on 1 income. It seems like a bit of money up front, and we even used the super cheap option of prefolds (with just a few of the fancy one size diapers for sitters and convenience) until we went from literally poverty level to barely middle class. One thing to take into account is that the velcro closing diapers will start wearing after about a year or so. If I had to do it again I would buy the snap close ones instead (check Etsy for lower prices).

Also, I actually started using a more expensive laundry soap, but we use less of it even for regular laundry so I consider that a gain. I do a load of diapers every 2-3 days, and I the energy and water costs are pretty low. Especially if we can line dry (putting up a rack inside can take a LONG time in humid places).

We have bought 2 bags/boxes of diapers in the last 18 months. One was because we weren’t sold on cloth with the umbilical cord (that changed when we realized the price and that prefolds are easy to adjust lower) and one for a vacation including 4 days of car travel. We should welcome #2 in January and aside from adding a few more diapers to account for 2 people using them, it will cost us close to nothing to diaper him/her.

Also, if you buy the nicer diapers, you can often sell them when you are done saving you even more money.

I found your website through WE ARE THAT FAMILY…I thought that I was over the notion of cloth diapering…but, we are about to purchase another home and the one we live in still has not sold and probably won’t. Needless to say, we will be on an extremely tight budget until we can get this home sold or rented out. Anyway, I am pregnant with my third child and heard about cloth diapering with my second…but never tried it. I have researched myself silly. One of the websites that I read pretty much all the way through was Green Mountain Diapers (google it) Anyway, I think I became overwhelmed. I guess I just need some support and someone to tell me that it really is better and it really will save our family money. ANY HELP OUT THERE??

I’m here as a blogfrog leader. I love to see other moms CDing. We CD too. We use Tiny Tush OS Elite. I have that same drying rack too. CDing is indeed so easy and better for the environment and baby’s bum!!
