I would think it would happen even more frequently with cloth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162503989452573560.post-973574907921114912008-12-02T22:02:00.000-05:002008-12-02T22:02:00.000-05:00oops, my journey, not my journal...sorry :o)oops, my journey, not my journal...sorry :o)Jenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074541529484344348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162503989452573560.post-33995561422548102442008-12-02T22:01:00.000-05:002008-12-02T22:01:00.000-05:00Hi, I'm brand new to your blog...found it through ...Hi, I'm brand new to your blog...found it through a friend. I want to ENCOURAGE you to use cloth. I started with our second baby and can't believe I used disposables for so long. We still use them once in awhile, but we are 98% cloth. I have tried to do a very small, very informal blog on my journal in cloth diapers in addition to my family blog. www.clothcrazy.blogspot.com<BR/>We are in the middle of Financial Peace University and soon we will be DEBT FREE. I think that using cloth really has helped us....plus they are environmentally friendly...plus my kids don't have chemicals on their genitals 24/7.<BR/>Good luck!<BR/>JenneyJenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074541529484344348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162503989452573560.post-89740789457285563082008-11-25T12:34:00.000-05:002008-11-25T12:34:00.000-05:00I've heard that, but I don't buy it.

We already buy natural, concentrated stuff, so that means less than a teaspoon of detergent. Plus we have a front loader which uses less water. Plus, water is, on some level, a renewable resource. Also it scares me the things they put in disposables...not stuff I want next to my baby's skin.Dennis & Heidi Swenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785262212138249328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162503989452573560.post-171057714819146092008-11-07T21:36:00.000-05:002008-11-07T21:36:00.000-05:00Hey Guys!Good news and bad news!

We looked into cloth diapers quite a bit (and may still do them) and believe it or not, they're not any more green than the others since it takes soo much water to wash the number of them and so many detergents. I kept hoping that somehow the cloth diapers would be better but everywhere I looked, they didn't seem to be. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I've heard REALLY good things about the BumGenius. A friend of ours from high school has had terrific success w/them- you can check out her blog here. I'm pretty sure she's blogged more than once about cloth diapers but feel free so look around if you're interested. http://katierobinson.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/i-heart-cloth-diapers/<BR/><BR/>That's all for now. Hope you're well! Baby Swender will be here before you know it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
