Cloth Diapering Update

So, I was taking a trip down the ol' blog memory lane and realized I never updated you on the cloth diapering. I DID IT! (Once.)

I know, I know. I should have tried it more than once. When he was born we had some major diarrhea issues we were dealing with if you'll recall. Turned out to be a milk allergy. So, I couldn't use the cloth diapers b/c he always had some sort of cream on his bottom.

Once we got that resolved I decided to give it a go. So, I got all excited, put it on, and within about 30 min. we had a POOPY DIAPER! Seriously, not how I wanted it to go with the very first diaper. I freaked. Yes, I did. I dunked and swirled and vowed I'd never use them again.

Well, I had to put one on for his 3 month photos, and came to realize...they don't fit him very well anyway. They were way to big in the crotch and made his little legs stick out to the sides. I hate putting in the inserts and they're either too tight on his waist or too loose. There's no in between for him. So, rather than spend a fortune trying to find the right fit and the right diaper we now are using Target Up & Up disposables. $12 for a box of 96 diapers. Yeah, I'm pretty pleased with that. I am sad about the mess I'm leaving in the environment, and there is no justifying it. But, Gabriel is comfortable...so I guess that's all I need.
