Going cloth!

We are doing it! We are going to try cloth diapers. The first five I bought are medium (20lbs-30lbs) all-in-ones from an Etsy shop with great reviews. I love that these are exactly like disposable diapers, just Velcro them on. No snappi/pins required!!! They arrived today and Alec couldn't wait to try them giving mom a nice poop in the very first one he wore! I was surprised it was really easy to clean. I put the washer on cold rinse cycle with the lid open so it stops after the water fills. I then added baking soda to neutralize the urine. When I change a dirty diaper I plan to just plop them in the cold water to soak until the end of the day. Then I will shut the lid and let the rinse cycle run to get the urine and poo out. Once that is done I can run a regular laundry load with the diapers in warm water with regular detergent. I can dry them in the dryer or hang to dry depending on how soon I need them. LOVE this!! I purchased a slug of one size fits all, all-in-one diapers that will last until he is 36lbs (Carsyn isn't even that big yet!) I will try those on Carsyn when they arrive. So exciting!! So far so good!!! Alec started drinking from his bottle on his own today. Here are some pics of him playing on the floor with his last ounce of dinner (and new diapers!).

I must also add today that Carsyn now calls his baby brother by his full name "Al-eek Danio". Its friggen adorable!
