You just had to list the 3 most helpful baby things you wished someone had told you about.
I can't remember what 2 of the 3 were but I know the third was "how easy cloth diapering was".
Because it is.
And its so satisfying to see your green bin container going from overflowing to 1-2 bags in it each week of your food waste.
In addition to it being easy... you can put some very adorable diapers on your baby's bottom!
Poops are a bit gross, but you just deal. And as solids start it gets easier. Throw the flushable liner out and soak the diaper in a bucket of cold water. I've very little stains ever after a proper wash.
I have a wide range of diapers since I tried to buy them online whenever someone had a massive sale.
This first one though I bought at Diaper-Eez. A stack of prefolds and some covers. Look how easy it is... if my hubby can handle it, YOU can handle it.

| cloth and cover |

| 3 fold cloth and insert into cover... |
 |
| Voila! Diaper ready and its cute as ever. |
There's also the All In One (AIO)
I have a few different ones but here's an example.

| Bamboo insert that you 3 fold. There's a pocket to tuck it into so its not out like this. |

| Again. Adorable! |
And then the 'designer' diapers. I got it on sale! I love it. You never need bloomers I tell ya!
So really, why wouldn't you?
Oh right. Because the poopy ones are gross. I can't deny that. But you learn to deal with it.
Washing cloth diapers has been very easy. Except when our washer broke for a week. But otherwise, just warm water (hot now and then for a good zap) and special non-residue detergent and voila! I wash every 2 days, that's usually when the dry bucket is full.
I'm just sad its not summer to show off these beauties! But they will fit her for quite a while. Another nice thing about cloth is that there is good weight coverage with just one size.
Oh! And I won the draw!
