That, or you think we're crazy.
Or, well, maybe you don't care.
But either way, it's just another notch in the journey towards parenting that we've marked on our maps - pointing ourselves now in a direction that so many other people have long since done and yet still seems so bizarre to so many.
Yep, we're going to be cloth diapering, or CD-ing as the verbage goes. And that is, using CDs as opposed to using 'sposies. Oh, the things I've learned these last almost seven months.
Now don't expect this to be some crazy rallying cause for us. And no, I DO NOT JUDGE YOU FOR USING DISPOSABLE DIAPERS. We are, ourselves, already accumulating a bit of a stash thanks to our shower and a sweet client of mine - which we will not feel guilty for using whenever we may decide we would need or would like to - be it for traveling, weariness of laundering, or for pure kicks and giggles. And no, you may not judge me for that.
As time goes on, we may share successes and woes because its a hot topic and I think that a lot of people are wondering - like I have been for months - if it could be the right thing for them. And to be honest, we won't know until the time comes. For us, the discussion persisted not about all the things it is for the people for whom CDing is a way of life - not that I blame them for being passionate. For us, it's a little bit of everything... yes, it's going to be nice to save money... yes, I like the idea that it's a bit kinder to the environment... yes, I love that it can be an added comfort to our sweet girl... and yes, they are DOGGONE CUTE.
After much consideration, we settled on the idea of purchasing a six-pack of two reputable brands which have time and time again come up in my CD conversations and research. Two brands because who knows what will work best for our unique little girl, but at least we'll have options when the time comes.
Speaking of options, did I mention HOW CUTE AND COLORFUL THEY ARE?!
So once the decision was made, it was time to order and it was a whole new round of decisions - far less important - but still so... important? Yeah, I know, doesn't make sense.
So here's the "models" and colors we've ended up with in each model:
The FuzziBunz One-Size...
The bumGenius 4.0 One-Size...

They are so cute!
I absoutely hate thinking about all of Caroline's diapers sitting in a landfill somewhere. :/
I may take a short cut and just steal the fruits of your research for my next one. I wanted to do this with Simone but it just never happened. Good work momma.
