So, I have been thinking about cloth diapering long before my little man was even brought into the world. I went back and forth, cloth vs. disposable, of course, I wanted to do the right thing for his little bum and for this environment I was bringing him into. And it was obvious that the pros of cloth diapering outweighed the cons-but there was still that whole convenience factor that seemed to win. I had some cloth diapering materials-there is a lot to choose from, and very little knowledge about cloth diapering, so when my little man arrived the ease of the disposable WON. Now my little man is over 1 year old, I have guilt quite often about my decision ( especially when I take out the garbage). I kind of felt as if it was too late to make the switch, so much time had gone by, I could’ve saved all that trash and money. A couple of months ago I was helping a customer at Bellani with cloth diapers, she mentioned that her son was 15 months old and she was making the switch. She made some very valuable points, he was still going to be in diapers for maybe another year ? and she planned on having another child. Ah ha she would already have everything and I was inspired! I’m doing it! Now that the fear of not knowing- anything-when you have your first baby is gone, I now have a year of experience, and Bellani offers Cloth Diapering 101, I am going into this with a whole new confidence. The expense up front seems big, but it will save me in the future, I’m just thinking what If I had done this a year ago? I would be way ahead of the game.
