THE CLOTH DIAPER EXPERIENCE SO FAR

THIS MY FIRST BABY AND MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH CLOTH DIAPERS. I BOUGHT A FEW DIFFERENT BRANDS IN VARIES SIZES TO GIVE THEM ALL A TRY, SO FAR I HAVE USED THE MUMS BUMS ALL-IN-ONE AND BUM GENIUS (ONE SIZE POCKET DIAPER). MUMS BUMS ARE ALL IN ONE MEANING THERE IS NO EXTRA PIECE (THE PART THE WOULD ABSORB PEE) THAT GOES INTO IT OR SEPARATES FROM IT. THE BUM GENIUS ONE SIZE MEANING IT GROWS AS HE GROWS WITH ADJUSTABLE SNAPS. THE BUM GENIUS DOES HAVE A POCKET FOR AN INSERT.

FIRST WE TRIED THE MUMS BUMS I REALLY THOUGHT THESE WERE GOING TO BE MY FAVORITE WITH NO POCKETS FOR INSERTS AND MADE OUT OF COTTON AND BAMBOO. BAMBOO IS NATURALLY ANTIBACTERIAL, I LOVE BAMBOO! YOU CAN EAT IT, YOU CAN BUILD WITH IT, YOU CAN WEAR IT AND IT GROWS REALLY REALLY FAST AND NEEDS NO PESTICIDES DURING THE GROWING PROCESS. ANYWAYS BACK TO THE DIAPER EXPERIENCE, I WAS REALLY DISAPPOINTED FOR MY FIRST TRY AS LITTLE MR. POOPIE PANTS SOAKED THROUGH THE DIAPER, HE WAS WEARING THE DIAPER FOR ABOUT 3-4 HRS, HE WAS SLEEPING SO I WAS ABOUT TO LET HIM GO LONGER, GLAD I DIDN'T. THE SHELL WASN'T REALLY WET BUT IT LEAKED OUT THE BACK TO HIS CLOTHES AT THE TOP BACK OF THE DIAPER. NO POOP THIS TIME, THANK JEEBUS. I WILL SAY THIS I AM GOING TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER TRY, NOT GOING TO LET THEM WIN!!





SECOND TRY WITH THE BUM GENIUS THIS TIME. THESE GUYS CAME WITH A SECOND INSERT FOR MORE ABSORPTION BUT IT MADE THE DIAPER WAY TO THICK TO GET HIS ONESIE BACK ON SO I LEFT IT OUT THIS TIME. THESE ONES HE DID POOP IN SO I DIDN'T LET HIM GO AS LONG IN THEM....BUT NOTHING LEAKED OUT! YAY! I DIDN'T GET A HOSE ATTACHMENT THAT IS RECOMMENDED FOR GETTING THE POOP OFF AND INTO THE TOILET SO I JUST USED A SPRAY BOTTLE (IT WASN'T A VERY BIG POOP) THIS WAS A MUCH BETTER EXPERIENCE!

I'M JUST GOING TO KEEP TRYING UNTIL I GET A GOOD SYSTEM DOWN!
