Show me your Fuzzi Bunz!!

About two weeks ago, we decided to switch to cloth diapers. I realized how much of a "contribution" I've been making to our landfills lately; having two kids in diapers. I did a lot of research and talked to other people who use cloth. The doula that was present at Genna's birth uses Fuzzi Bunz so I was able to see them in person, feel them and ask questions about them. I am so glad we switched! I love using cloth and they are so easy to use and easy to clean. Both Evie and Genna wear them and I haven't had a leak yet. When poop happens, you just dump it in the toilet...no swishing, no soaking. The diapers wash perfectly clean each time...I haven't had a stained one yet! I run the wash on the sterilize mode so I know they come out clean and then I run a "basket wash" in my machine with bleach to clean the drum but I don't think it really needs it because the machine has it's own hot water heater that gets the temp up high enough to sterilize. These diapers came with a pretty hefty up front cost but in the long run, it will be much cheaper than disposables. We've also switched to reusable wipes and we love them too! They come in all sorts of cute colors too!
