We (I really) have decided to cloth diaper the twins. I know what you are thinking.. i must be crazy, right!? Up until now i had never really considered it either. I always assumed it would be super gross and i had this old school picture in my mind of cloth diapers with pins like our parents used. SO glad they are not like that anymore!! I decided to do this for a few reasons. For one, we are shelling out a ton of money for disposable diapers and wipes every month. We spend at least $100/month. With cloth we can save a significant amount of money throughout the 2.5+ years our twins will be in diapers. Another reason i decided to switch was because of Katelyn's bottm. She has had a nasty diaper rash ever since we started her in disposables. The more i looked into why that may be the more i realized how many harsh chemicals they put in disposable diapers. I had no idea. There is also a HUGE controversy lately with Pampers Swaddlers diapers with Dry Max. Kids are getting very bad rashes and even chemical burns from these diapers. With Tristan and Rylie i loved Pampers Swaddlers, but these new ones scare me. Oh, and in my opinions, cloth diapers are just super cute! Anyway, i ordered a diaper called Softbums to try. They are pretty awesome. They have a shell that can size a kid from 5-35 pounds. That sounds ridiculous, but seriously.. they can. I have put them on the twins for the last few days and i can say i am impressed. Not only do they fit, but they are super cute. So far, so good. I hope to purchase a larger package of these soon so i can get the twins in them full time. Wish me luck! Don't my babies look so cute!!
