Cloth Diapers

by

I wanted to talk about cloth diapers for my own selfish reasons. I’m expecting a baby in September, and I really want to try doing cloth diapers. I used (ok, use, present tense) disposable diapers with Peanut, and I want to cut down on the amount of landfill space I personally use! Plus, I’ve heard it’s cheaper, so that’s always great. Does anyone out there use these for your toddlers? I’m concerned about leaking, and I’m also concerned that I won’t fold the diapers up right so everything will just come out anyway! I’m also a little clueless as to cloth diapers - there is actually quite the variety out there. I got some prefolded Chinese diapers with some covers, but there are also all-in-one diapers and more. It’s hard to know where to start. I’m sure there are other toddler parents out there who may have younger children and want to start doing this. I think it’s great - though more work. If you have any thoughts or advice about cloth diapers, let us know! I would definately appreciate it, and I’m sure a lot of other parents would as well.

PS - The book What My Toddler Ate Today is still up for grabs. If you’d like it, just email me and tell me a bit about your toddler’s eating habits. This book can be a great tool for you and your child.

About Parenting Toddlers

Raising a toddler is one of the most rewarding experiences. We learn just how much love we have in the deepest recesses of our hearts and just how deep the well of our patience can go with only three hours of sleep. We learn to see the world from a new perspective and we delight in the very basic achievements of our children. Amid their tantrums and shouting "No!" toddlers help us to stretch our imaginations and rediscover the books we enjoyed when we were children. Rebecca will share stories of her own children as toddlers, review parenting and children's books and offer suggestions for everything from potty training to catching bugs with a straight face. She will share craft ideas, fun activities, how to form a playgroup, nutrition for toddlers, development, adding a new sibling, your toddler as the youngest child, adopting a toddler and more.
