My friend had some cloth diapers that she wasn't using, so she let me borrow them. I was really excited about trying them out, and they look so cute.
The little boy also looks adorable! My favorite little boy!
She brought them by on a Friday, and I started using them on Sunday. Now I don't what happened next. I don't know if I shouldn't have started on a day when we were going to be out and about a lot with church, or if my kids just had a ton of wet diapers that day. It wasn't pretty though. Sunday morning went pretty good. I just put Zoë in a cloth diaper to try it out. It was great. She wore it for about an hour and I changed her as soon as we got home.
After lunch it went downhill from there. During Zoë's afternoon nap she leaked out of her diaper all over the place. I figured I probably just put the diaper on wrong or put the insert in wrong. So I gave it another try.
We were getting ready for church that evening and I put a cloth diaper on both of my kids. Halfway during church Zoë starts getting really red in the face and starts grunting. Zoë is a pretty explosive pooper, so needless to say I wasn't too excited about dealing with a dirty cloth diaper at church.
I start getting the diaper bag ready to go change Zoë when I notice that Jonah has wet all over himself. His shorts are soaked. He had two inserts in his diaper and had it on for less than an hour and had still wet through. I gave Jonah to Hopson and I took Zoe (who has also leaked through all over her clothes at this point) and we changed our kids. When we changed them we put disposable diapers on them both. They haven't been back in cloth diapers either!
Thankfully I have found other ways to save money! I don't think cloth diapering is in the future for this family, unfortunately.
Hahah. I was so going to do the whole cloth diapering thing. But I was going to do a lot of things with Indigo. Like not let her watch Dora. Yea. Right. Live and learn.
