Cloth Diapers: Why use cloth diapers?

Welcome to my cloth diaper series.  We decided to give cloth a try for the reason of reducing chemicals.   We fell in love with the economical benefits.  $200 bucks has diapered our baby from about two weeks of age to his now 11 months.  We intend to keep going until hes potty trained.  We found diapers that adjust to a fit as baby grows so we have not needed to buy new diapers as he grew.   We went away for the weekend this past weekend and used the throw away kind.  We did not like them.  Leaks, poo that escapes, flimsy, And our son could escape.  Hes a bit of a stripper baby but his diapers have snaps and he cant get out of them, yet.  Really for any family looking to be frugal with a baby should look into trying cloth.  their not all folding and pins anymore.  In fact some work just like the throw away diapers except you put them in a diaper pail then into the wash.

The average cloth diapered baby potty trains 6 months sooner.  :)  I'm looking forward to this one with DS. My DD was a late potty trainer.  I wish I had tried cloth with her.

We at Happy Frugal Life will be sharing tips reviews and valuable cloth diaper information in our cloth diaper series.  You may even here right from my hubby who is well a HUGE fan of cloth diapers. In fact a mom-to-be cant get past him with out herring him sing the praises of cloth diapering.  *giggle*
