Cloth Diapers

Today is Silver's first day to be in cloth diapers (we had to wait for the meconium to pass before we could use them)!  We are absolutely loving them.  And T.J. was so cute when he put Silver into her first diaper.  It was lime green - to match the outfit he picked out for her!  :)  She was so adorable, and even more so because she was dressed with love!

It took us a little bit to get on board with cloth.  From what we had researched at first it sounded like such a hassle and mess that neither of us thought we could handle...  But it's not going to be so difficult after all!  A friend referred us to The Changing Table, an amazing new cloth diapering company here in Oklahoma.  They had a great cloth diaper crash course meeting we attended, where we learned using cloth is a lot easier than we thought it would be!


People always want to know, 'what do you do with the poop?' (That's what we were worried about too!)  For breastfed babies, the poop is water soluble so you just throw it into the washer as is and it goes away.  Then, when Silver starts eating solids someday, they have rice paper liners that you just flush.  No way could I be shaking out some diapers in the toilet and dunking them or spraying them and all that... Well, maybe I could if I had to, but I'm really looking forward to the rice paper.  :)


We're very excited to have Silver in cloth.  Better for her butt (no chemicals), better for our wallets, and better for the planet!  A win win win.  :)


AND God is so good, we're getting almost all of our diapers for free.  Well, no not really free, but they are a newer company that was in need of a logo and some other products, so I designed them some things, and we're doing a trade!  What a huge blessing!!!  Here's what the final logo looked like.  And we definitely recommend them - they're great girls!
