New Adventure with baby Number 3

By the time the third baby comes along  you have learned a lot and seen too much. One thing that I never thought would be happening when I had my third was that I would be changing my thinking of cloth diapering but you live and learn then get cloth. I only used disposable with my first two boys. I thought that was the best option and easiest but number three has made me rethink what I knew (With the help of one of my mom friends) She had told me about cloth when my second was still in diapers but all I could picture was the old style and stinky diapers in a pail.
My thoughts all changed because of local mom and a consignment sale. I was helping the sale owner and tagging items. She had two of the cutest diapers ever. I bought them to try.


















The timing was too perfect, we were almost out of my stock pile of his size disposables. After trying those two and seeing all the other adorable options I am hooked.


The diapers available now are not the same kinds your mom used. Cloth diapers now come in so many styles and patterns, the possibilities seem endless. Washing is not the horror story of the past either. I like simple so I just  spray my diapers after they are used and put them in with our other clothes. Then they get washed and dried right along with everything else.
I am lucky to have a local mom who I can ask questions but there are many Facebook groups for chatting about diapers as well as buying them.
I never thought that I would be trying something like cloth with my third baby but I'm really glad I finally gave it a try. Only regret now is that I didn't start this with number 1.
