I started to cloth diaper my little one’s tiny tush a few weeks ago. If you are interested in knowing WHY I would be so crazy, please see this post. I must admit, cloth diapering makes me feel pretty good about myself. No more diaper waste, therefore I am greener. My baby looks damn cute with a fluffy butt. The diaper laundry is no big deal and I have been more diligent about keeping up with the regular laundry, meaning that I am a better wife. See what I mean about feeling good about myself?
But I’m not completely selfish and I have a greater reason for loving cloth diapers. Giovanna has a perfect bum. No. Not perfect as in Beyonce-perfect. She’s less than 3 months old for crying out loud. I mean she has absolutely no diaper rash. It didn’t disappear over night, but it is now completely gone. I feel like a better mother as well as a better wife. I know. Everything always seems to come back to ME. Sorry.
I guess it’s true that you can’t help others without helping yourself as well. Lesson of the day.
So, now that my family is committed to cloth diapering, I am thinking of adding to my stash. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!
And if you’re a mom and interested in learning more about cloth diapering, let me know. I’m not an expert, but I do know a thing or two and I’m happy to help.
In other news, my trusty computer is currently broken. So I’ve hijacked my husband’s. But I miss the convenience of mine. I miss my bookmarks, my music, my photos. And I despise having to type in password after password. This computer just doesn’t know me…
Also, it dawned on me yesterday that Giovanna is no longer a tiny newborn and she is more comfortable with her legs hanging from the Moby Wrap. I guess I was in denial about the size of my little one. Babies grow too fast. What’s a mom to do? It’s not like I can stop feeding her.
Here she is this morning. Gotta love the random ears attached to her hood.
Happy Monday!

Button love.
Your baby is so cute! Found you in such a roundabout way and I’m loving everything that I’ve read so far. I used cloth diapers with my girl too. So much trial and error involved but well worth it.
Glad you found me! Yes, I am truly loving cloth diapers. I wanted to cloth diaper for a while before I started and I’m so glad I stopped being *scared.*
I love your writing!! Your baby girl is adorable and cloth diapering is straight-up awesome. As a momma who recently started cloth diapering too, I know that it IS all about you… As much as it is all about baby, hubby, the earth… I also found your blog in a roundabout way, but I can’t wait to read more!
