Fluffy Bum

Yesterday was Earth Day- a perfect day to start cloth diapering little Max! We have been building up our cloth diaper stash for a while now and I am happy to say that we have officially made the switch. The timing couldn't have been more perfect: Max had developed a diaper rash from teething, which I believe was made much worse by regular diapers. My theory seems to hold true because after just one night of wearing cloth, it is almost completely gone! It's only a little more work to do cloth, or "fluff" as it's known in cloth-diapering mama circles, but I think that the benefits for Max's bum, and his planet, are well worth it. Cloth diapers have come a long way in the past decade. They are easy to use and to clean, and the ones I have don't require covers or pins. Plus, my little sweetheart somehow manages to look even cuter than usual in cloth... an added bonus.

"Hmmm they're colourful, good for me AND good for the Earth? Okay, I'll give them a shot!"
"They're much more comfortable than the disposable ones!"

These are Bumgenius brand, artist series diapers, some of my favourites (cloth is much nicer to look at than plastic!)
