Cloth Diapering, Day 5

We found out that Paul really dislikes wet and dirty diapers, regardless of the brand. He won't sit in them for more than 5 minutes before his whimpers escalate to piercing wails that make me think that the ceiling fan must have fallen on him or that the monsters under the bed may have started water boarding my sweet baby. This means that we go through A LOT of diapers (10-14) each day. We're currently on day 5 of cloth diapering, and it has been a success so far. If we had continued with disposables, we would be out by now. We used around 200 diapers in the 3.5 weeks since his birth. That's some serious investment. I'm surprised at how quickly Paul runs through our stash of cloth diapers. I sure hope that we've got enough to last till laundry day through his potty training days.

I'll post later on about successes/failures in cloth diapering.
