I have my first official Diaper Party this weekend! I am always spreading the word about the benefits of cloth, but this will be the first time in a structured group. I am so happy to share what we have learned over 22 years of babies, diapers, toddlers, tantrums, kids, and family life!
We used disposable diapers for many years. All of the older kiddos were Huggies babies. As I have gotten older, I have become more and more concerned about the footprint I am leaving behind. Additionally, my daughter Xanthe had very sensitive skin. So, when she was a few months old I was excited to discover a "new" kind of cloth diaper- Hybrids! We switched to G-Diapers, using the biodegradable inserts. I loved the concept, but hated the 3 separate parts and really hated the Velcro. Eventually, we ended up with a mixture of snapped cloth diapers, and different water proof shells (like Flip, WeeHuggers, etc), along with the GDiaper biodegradable inserts.
Not only were we making a more positive impact on the environment, but my daughter's diaper rashes went away when we stopped using disposable diapers! We used cloth all the way through potty training, and she was the fastest of all of our children to train.
Our youngest daughter (14 months) has used nothing but cloth and cloth hybrids. She is actively potty training, so it has been smooth sailing so far! In my blog, you will see a picture of a beautiful baby in a cloth print diaper- that's baby Jaz! Aren't the cloth diapers just stinkin' cute?!
If you would like to learn more about cloth diapers, please contact me. We can set up either a private consultation or a diaper party. BTW, Diaper Parties make for excellent baby showers!
Your friend in cloth, Kitty ;)
I hope you are very enjoyed this party. I absolutely want to try this diaper is so good. In this article everything is perfect and I like the idea of gussets.
