Cloth diapers today are no longer your grandma’s giant white sheet with a clothes pin. Heck no. I think any momma these days would shudder at the thought. Today, the best cloth diapers have a cute pattern, washing is a breeze and the brands are simply amazing.
In the not so distant past, I swore off cloth diapering before I even knew a thing about it. Then, we became pregnant and suddenly I transformed into some kind of penny-pinching fiend. We had big financial goals and spending a bajillion dollars on disposable diapers seemed silly.
I was told:
“I’ll give you two weeks and you’ll quit.”
“My sister tried that too…”
“You’re not doing that when I’m there!”
Yeesh. You’d think cloth diapering was some kind of crazy, questionably legal activity. But all these people had preconceived notions that cloth diapering was like it had been twenty years ago. I had done my research and it was just so simple. In fact, a few of those naysayers started cloth diapering too!
