Crunchy, granola, hippy wannabe...that's me!

So, not only do I plan to nurse number 2 for the first year and feed him/her homemade and/or organic baby food, but we also just made the change over to cloth diapers.

I might as well whip out the Birkenstocks right now.

I just cannot stand how much we spend on diapers and how much waste is produced. It makes me absolutely nuts. I had planned to do cloth with Isabel, but Dave was very hesitant and, given that she was our first, I decided to make it as uncomplicated as possible.

At this point in the game though, we both agree that we can manage it and is worth giving a shot. So, I purchased a cloth diaper stash on Kijiji today. It includes several pocket diapers (BumGenius and Happy Heiny), about a dozen Chinese prefolds and a bunch of accessories for both types (inserts, covers, snappis and stain/odor remover). It was a great deal and we are very excited to try them out on Isabel.
