Making the switch to cloth diapers!

We are very excited (yes, Ryan too) about finally making the switch to cloth diapers. I know, most people think we're crazy, cloth diapering is nothing like it was when we were kids (or when our parents were kids). Cloth diapers are now just as user friendly and convenient as disposable diapers with the added benefits of long term cost savings and less impact on the environment.

After finally doing the research for myself, I am finally starting to understand all of the options (which are nearly endless by the way!) cloth diapering has to offer and wanted to share some of the info I found most helpful in deciding what type of diapers I wanted to start using. By the way, we've decided that One Size Pocket style diapers are what we are going to start with. Yes, this means I will be able to use the same diapers on Nicholas AND Andrew :)

Here is the website I found most helpful:

http://www.diaperpin.com/

I recommend starting with the Dictionary Page and the How To's/FAQs Page

Diaper Swappers and Diaper Traders are also great sites for WAHM (work at home mom) made cloth diapers and buying/selling/trading cloth diapers as well as great advise from other Cloth Diapering moms.

If you ever have any questions about cloth diapering, please ask! If I don't know the answer I can definitely find out for you :)

A few really nice sites I've used for ordering new Cloth Diapers are:
