I Cheated….
on my cloth diapers!
Lily got a yeast based diaper rash, and I decided it best to buy disposables to be able to treat the rash without worrying about ruining the cloth. It KILLED me to buy that package of diapers, but it was more important to be certain we got that rash treated.
Not too long after, we were going to take a trip to my folks house, and she still had a bit of the rash, so we bought some more. And then, while we were there, we got locked out of the car so we had to buy yet another package.
Of course, we weren’t going to let diapers go to waste, so we used them.
I started to really like it. I was actually caught up on laundry, because the machine wasn’t taken up with diapers all the time. I loved that she didn’t reek of ammonia in the moning. I loved that a stinky diaper got promptly wrapped up and taken outside. I loved not having to worry about wetbags and covers and triple stuffing diapers for nighttime and not having to lanolize wool.
But, the eventual end of that last package came, and I just couldn’t buy another. I love that I use cloth on my daughter. I love that they are cute! I love that they are so much better for her skin. I love that I’m going to be able to pass on her diapers to another person and thus be a little kinder to the earth. I love that I don’t have to go to the store in the middle of the night and shell out a ton of cash on something my daughter pees in.
So, sposies: you were fun and I had a good time, but I’m going back to my first love.
