March 9th, 2005 - Oh well to cloth diapers
We were a bit (understatement) overwhelmed when M. was first here and have ended up not using cloth diapers. Part of it was that the first ones I got didn’t fit right. By the time I ordered new ones and felt more capable of taking the time for them, she was 2 pounds from out growing them. That made them very expensive diapers. My husband wasn’t too into the idea in the first place, and now he’s the stay-at-home Dad. Without his use of them during the day, the cost if way too prohibitive. We are at least using inexpensive store-brand (Target) diapers and I tear wipes in half before using them. (One of these days, I’ll try homemade wipes. I have the ingredients. Maternity leave just disappeared so quickly!)
