Living in Color
We have finally started using our cloth diapers for Abram. He lives a very colorful life now :) Here's a small sampling.
Jaime, we are using all one size (both fuzzibunz and bum genius). We started cloth diapering at 7 weeks...and Abram is already about 13.5 lbs.! Definitely no need for the sized small diapers. As it is I need to add more inserts b/c he's wetting through the "newborn" ones. Can't say I like one brand over the other really so far. I like the feel of the fuzzibunz, but I think the bum genius may fit Abram a little better. Guess it's a good thing we got more of the BG than we did of the FB. Good luck with CD!
I was talking to a friend last night that is on her 3rd child with cloth diapering. She uses some bum genius and fuzzibunz, but her favorites by far are just the prefolds with the covers. Said she can get the prefolds to fit much better and they prevent leaks far better than the pocket diapers. Also that they are so much easier... and much easier to clean, she said. And cheaper. She mentioned the issues of using the pocket diapers with diaper cream... said those issues with the prefolds are non-existent. Anyway, the leakage thing just popped in my head when I saw your fb post, Mary, and thought I'd share.

Aww! I love them!! The red and the blue are my favorites! Maybe someday I will have a chance to try CD... if we try for another child.
Awesome!!! Let me know how its going! Are those the fuzzibunz one size or the perfect size??
