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.
