Baby Boy Bottom Cuteness X's 1000

We are going to cloth diaper again with this one (Please, no, "ewwwws" because it is, actually, very easy).  I lent out almost all of my cloth diapers to siblings and relatives over the years and my sister informed me recently that most need to be replaced (they've made it through four or more babies - so, they held up well for longer than I thought they would).  This means, much to my husband's dismay, I'll have to buy all over again. Oh, darn.

I've already started up a registry at Green Mountain Diapers with some cloth diapering basics.  Diaper covers, prefold diapers (the most economical and easy to wash- no pins anymore - they have an elastic thing called a Snappi Fastener), one size fitted diapers, newborn baby diapers, and so on.  However, I saw the brand pictured above on a baby at a breastfeeding support group.  I loved them so much, I had to celebrate having a boy by buying Bright Star's Ultimate Trim Fit All-in-One diaper in Retro Owl and Nantucket Plaid (obvious boy prints).  All-in-one diapers (cover and diaper together) tend to take a lot longer to dry but are less absorbant than regular cloth diapers.  These, however, have room to snap in an extra soaker.  So, it'll hold up for a couple hours, at least.  And, I love that each layer snaps out so the diaper will dry very quickly!

It's so easy to go overboard with cloth diapers.  So, I'm promising myself I won't go too crazy.  I'm even going to see if I can save some money by buying some wool yarn, a pattern and asking my mom to make some wool covers and pants (pants serve as diaper covers too) for the baby.  I bet she'd be happy to do it!  Grandmas are the best!

You may see some more cloth diapering posts throughout my pregnancy journey.  So, if it's something that interests you, you'll want to stay tuned.
