I Quit Cloth Diapering
When I went to visit my in-laws this summer, I knew cloth diapers would not be an option. I was afraid of using the disposable diapers as they had caused diaper rash in the past. But for 3 days I figured it would be acceptable.
The visit went by without a hitch – no rashes! When we got home, I started using cloth diapers again but would mix in the disposables for “emergencies”. But cloth diapers remained the standard. And then Lucy started pre-school.
Once the day school program started (twice a week) disposables became a necessity. No day school is going to bother with the cloth mess. “Emergencies” became more frequent. Without thinking about it, I just found myself using disposables more and more often.
It has been about four months now since I have used a cloth diaper. I didn’t mean for this to happen and feel a bit of guilt about it. But lack of sleep and lifestyle choices seemed to move about and here I am using disposables. And its actually quite convenient. I love the Pampers Cruisers. And my daughter loves seeing the Sesame Street characters.
