cloth diapering.

i started using cloth diapers with badger this spring with the intention of being able to use them with the new baby, under the assumption that badger would someday start to use the potty. i'm sure he's not too far off but in the meantime, i am so turned off cloth diapering! in the short few months i have been using these diapers, they've become stained, stinky, harbored a stubborn yeast infection, and have just been disgusting to handle, especially the soiled diapers.

i took a break when the new baby arrived but now that his bowel movements have lost that newborn runny quality i started with both boys in cloth and have had mixed results. one day i'll have leaks on both boys, the next day i'll have none. but i've determined that i am done done done with cloth on badger. it's too gross. i can manage the breastmilk poop but sorry planet, i am putting my nearly three year old in disposable diapers.

Karen -

You sound so tired ... at the very least, of poop and pee ...

If you want any ideas about destinkifying the diapers, other simple folds to try for better poop containment, etc., I'd be happy to try to help via e-mail. (I'm no expert but have a three-year-old who's been exclusively cloth-diapered.) Feel free to use the 'contact' button under the belly photo at http://adoulatoo.blogspot.com

And good luck with everything!

Well, the diapers are no longer stinky and my main concern is to keep the yeast -- I will be angry if it spreads to the baby!!! I really am done with the big boy in cloth -- those poops are just too disgusting for me!

The leaking seems to have subsided, no idea what was the issue there!

I am very sick of poop and pee. You've got that right!

Dude, I have so been there. Well, not with a toddler...but cloth just didn't work for us. I will plant some extra trees or something. :) Hope it works out better with Charlie. And good for you for giving it a good try!
