Cloth Diapering Roundup

There are few things I love talking about more than breastfeeding and cloth diapers.  I know they're not for everyone and I'd never want to push them on a friend, but if someone asks, I'm ready to talk.  And then I'll invite you over to play with my diapers, check out my wash routine, see the wet bags, and talk about how much money we can save by using cloth diapers.

So consider this your invitation into my home.  Through these posts, you'll get most of your questions answered about how cloth diapering works in my family.  It does work out differently for everyone, but if you want to know about the cloth wipes that I made, my favorite brand of cloth diapers, my wash routine, my hanging wet pails, and why in the world anyone would be crazy enough to use cloth, then take some time to pore over these posts.

Do they save money?  You better believe it.  But that question, along with many others, is answered below.
