A friend came to visit last week and her daughter was wearing the most adorable, softest diapers I ever felt. BumGenuis! She also said they WORKED great!!! For the past week I've been researching these popular reusable diapers. I was sold and am waiting for my order to arrive! I'll post again when I'm a few days into the new trial. The things we get excited about as parents!!

I took the plunge and grew a stock of 24 diapers. Yes I did more laundry but I also wasn't buying disposables every week. I truly like that I know what's on my baby's bottom, but also have a very heavy wetter so had to switch to disposables for the night stretch. I'm sure there are other cloth diapers that would handle the task...but I just didn't want to put more investment in and wanted to work with what I had. To save a midnight pajama change, the disposables work well for that purpose. I use the bumgenius about 50/50 now. It's nice that I can switch when I want and have a choice depending on the day, weather, etc. I give moms full credit if they can use them 100% of the time...I just had to go with the flow and do what works best for me. I will say the diapers DO wash great..and have held up really well. You definitely need to use the recommended detergent so you don't create a build up of soap. Having said that, our clean diapers never have a soiled smell! Very clean! Some complain about the Velcro tabs wearing etc. Ours are still in great shape...and I'm still happy we made the investment. I do feel it's already paid off and continues to do so each time I use them.
As for my daughter...potty training time is nearing...as the weather warms..the time is coming. Exciting stuff!
