Clothe Diapering re-visited

Before Tash was a newborn, I bought about 12 small size Fuzzibunz (used) off of I think the motherease.ca diaper forums. I had a really good labour/delivery, but my recovery took a bit longer then average due to a couple of issues, so by the time I was ready to CD, my little miss was 15lbs, and did not fit into the small size FBs very well. They say average built they are good to 18lbs, but apparently my 'little girl' is not average.

Anyway, now that she seems to have plateau'd in weight (she's now only gaining 1lb a month, not 2+, and everyone keeps telling me she should slow down now), and her poo is more solid due to being on solids, I want to try again. So this Tuesday, I'm having a woman come over that sells FBs, Swaddlebees and another type to let me try the Medium FBs and perhaps buy a few from her.

I was visiting a friend this afternoon and she let me try out her Bum Genius 2.0 (medium) and it fit nicely, it was also "trim". The difference between the two is that the BG is velcro, not snaps and goes up to 35lbs. So, when I got home I decided to order a couple from Diaper Divas.

I have to admit though, I'm pretty excited about these 2 limited edition prints in the FBs, and have added them to my wish list when N comes over next week to teach me the ins and outs of CDs. Of course they are pricer then the plain ones. I need to start stalking Diaper Swappers. I may have some problems though, since mediums are rarely up for sale.


The real bottom line is, I'm tired of using disposables. I hate the smell, I hate the cost, and other numerous things that I won't get into. We'll see how it goes next week. smile
