I thought I wouldn't start CDing, as it seems like a big investment despite the long term savings. I like sposies, the thought of chucking it out is simple. No need to wash, dry, fold (thinking about lampin). After all, I have jumbo packs of diapers which will last for the next couple of months (I love stocking up when I see a good bargain)
Quoted from Miabambina:
I like the third reason: healthier for our children
I have 6 of those Itti Bitti Dlish, with snap on mini boosters. No need for a diaper cover. It lasts 3-5 hours. I love its fluffiness.
There are other types too:
Quoted from Miabambina:
Quite simply, cloth diapers are convenient, cost effective, healthier for our children, and better for the environment. I feel as though the real question parents should be asking themselves is why use disposables?The first two reasons, you can read up and do the maths. The fourth reason.. hmm I produce too much waste being in medical line to actually think about it. Think disposable gloves, disposable dressing sets, disposable VE sets... dispos dispos dispos...
I like the third reason: healthier for our children
- No diaper rash despite no barrier cream used (we almost had 1 episode of diaper rash while using the sposies)
- No toxins in contact with her bum
- I shall never encounter the gel like absorbant crystals with CD (I used Drypers pants for the second time and it sorta broke apart, exposing her bum to it!)
- Fitted
Baby Beehind Hemp Fitted - used with a diaper cover for night. Can last up to 12 hours

Hanim, my first set of brand new diapers were also from MiaBambina & gently used ones from Christene Allthingspurple. Then I never looked back and started building up the stash because at that time Armand was 1yo and another baby due soon. Dulu2 suruh maid je tukar diapers (sposies), sekarang I pulak suka!
Welcome to the wonderful world of cloth diapering your child heee hee...
