Théo and the Fuzzibunz

It is now official, we now use only cloth diapers for Théo. Some would say "what?! cloth diapers? You're crazy, and it's so much work!". Well, things have changed since WE were babies. Those cloth diapers where you have to fold a simple piece of cloth in a very specific manner and secure it with pin are no longer the only option. Today we have so many kinds to choose from and so we chose to go with the very popular Fuzzibunz. The diaper is a waterproof exterior with adjustable snaps, and it has a pouch in which you put a liner (cloth as well of course). Once that is set, we're ready to put it on our baby. We also found out that Théo adjusted perfectly to the transition and had no diaper rash since the cloth protects him a lot better from these irritations than a regular diaper.Alright, it is a little more time consuming because of the wash we have to do but:
1 - One load every other day is not that bad and we are proud to be a little more green by not throwing hundreds of diapers in the garbage throughout the year.
2 - It's much more economical than purchasing a box of 80 diapers every other week (if not more!)
3 - Théo seems to be very happy in his new diapers and this is actually the most important for us. And, he has so many different colors to choose from everyday!
In sum, we were a little bit hesitant because of the practical aspect of it, but we are very pleased and happy to have made this move and invested in the Fuzzibunz.

Great! I know someone who used these and was very happy with them.

Only today I just came upon a few unopened bags of G-Diaper inserts... not sure if they will work well with these diapers, but if you're ever in a pinch, maybe you would like to try them- have some of the outer diapers, too.

Théo looks quite pleased with his fancy red on.

Théo really LO-VE them! And I'm ot kidding...he has had one rash since. And I mean, come on, isn't he so freaking cute in it? :o)
PS: Did you notice...the blue of the plane, the white of the crib, and the red of the diaper...so french :o)
