Switching to Cloth Diapers

I have decided to switch to cloth diapers. I have placed my order and will be receiving it next week. I tried using FuzziBunz cloth diapers last week and it was really easy and comfortable for Phoenix. I decided to switch to cloth since it really would be better for Phoenix and at least I'd be able to help the environment by not using disposable diapers. Another benefit is that it would save me more money in the future.

For those of you who still have this notion that cloth diapers are made of "lampins" that are folded and held together by pins, take a look at the new cloth diapers available in the market. They look like disposable diapers and are just as easy to put on as the disposable diapers. You don't even have to use diaper creams anymore since the lining is soooo soft and won't harm your baby's skin at all.

If you're still undecided about cloth diapers, read on. This is an excerpt from the FuzziBunz website:
