I thought about using cloth diapers, but having learned how to work the CVS and Walgreens sytems, I’ll be using disposables. And unfortunately if you put your child in daycare, cloth isn’t going to work anyway.

Terry is a good absorbent fabric for diapers. The diapers I am working on now are made from a mint green robe I found at a yard sale for a buck. It looked brand new and it is lopped on one side and brushed on the other side. 100% cotton doesn’t retain smells and the same type of terry was $13 a yard at out store.

Check out elimination timing and you might be able to save even more on diaper use.

I’m a huge fan of cloth diapers, but never had enough courage to actually make them myself, and I don’t think I’m going to get around to doing so, now that I’m on baby number three! But, a couple of words of advice- try a couple of different patterns, as not all patterns work for every baby, make enough for baby number two as well, because you won’t have time during your next pregnancy, and check out snappis- the best replacement for diaper pins ever. While you’re at it, make some polar fleece diaper liners- they’re a great moisture barrier on top of the diaper, and easy to make- and some cloth wipes- super easy.

That’s so great and ambitious of you!! Are you going to wash the baby’s diapers yourself, then?

Mr. Micah says that sounds so comfy for the baby! Please do let us know what pattern website you’re using…this is totally something I could do someday.
