Cloth Diapering in the Modern World

In many ways, I have been cloth diapering in the dark ages. Sure, I use fancy pocket diapers like this green Bum Genius on the right here, but I usually save them for night time and when we are out and about. When it comes to diapering at home, we usually use the old fashion pre-folds with pins.

Using pins never bothered me, and people are always asking me if I poke Lilian. To be honest, I've never poked her, but I have poked myself! I never had a problem with diaper pins, until now. Recently they have gotten so dull I can barely get them through the fabric. I asked Kyle to sharpen them, but it just didn't do the trick. So I finally gave in and stepped into the cloth diapering light.

Today I went online and bought two new age cloth diapering items, the first being "snappi's." These plastic diaper fasteners are made to hold your baby's diaper on securly and they come in adorable colors! I cannot wait to try them on Lilian. They have gotten great reveiws and hopefully they work well!

The other thing I bought today I have been saying I would get for ages. So I finally gave in and did it! The "Bum genious Diaper Sprayer" connects to your toilet and hangs beside it. It allows you to spray off messy poo's into the toilet instead of having to swish it around in the toilet. I have been getting so sick of taking care of Lilian's icky poo I had to give in today. I really hope it works! I had it priority shipped here so that I can use it as soon as possible!!

Well alright everyone, I've got to get going! Love you all, hope the weather starts to get warm, if I could have I would have bought us all some sunshine!
