I've had a few leakage issues though but that wouldn't deter me from giving this five stars.

I didn't even research it-- it just wasn't even an option. Now, I am starting to think about it. Especially with thinking about having 2 kids in diapers... the cost will add up... Like you, we can afford disposables but I just am thinking about how much more money we could have in our pocket!!?!! Hmmm... we'll see! So proud of you for doing what's best for your family! I'm sure it will go great!

That is why so many people are complaining about their sprayers breaking, because they were not made to handle the abuse. You can save money and buy a cheap plastic sprayer and then need to buy another one soon or you can get a Stainless Steel Sprayer at www.bathroomsprayers.com for a little more that will last, it comes with a 5 year warranty. And don't forget, using it as a Hand Bidet means you will save money on toilet paper, everyday....forever....Just a thoughtbidetsprayermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007554248910818315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854389253351284318.post-19444634440319288382013-05-11T21:36:41.927-05:002013-05-11T21:36:41.927-05:00We have used bum genius diapers for about 20 month...We have used bum genius diapers for about 20 months and LOVE them!

On the whole we have loved it! We did switch to disposables at night when she hit about 18 months because she was leaking at night. We haven't had a single blow out (though definitely some leaky pee) and once you get a laundry system figured out, it's really not that time consuming. I do a heavy duty rinse cycle on cold, then a hot wash cycle w/Charlie's soap, then a short rinse cycle with a few drops of essential oils. Grandparents have been excited about trying it out and some church nursery workers are up for the challenge. We have used disposables in every size, so if you get some at your shower, don't worry! You'll use them! Good luck and enjoy the savings and freedom from all the chemicals. :)AFGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11651143712558671217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854389253351284318.post-54892558686770849022013-05-09T19:26:27.131-05:002013-05-09T19:26:27.131-05:00this is so great!

I have always joked with my best girlfriends that I'll be the mother that cloth diapers, makes her own baby food, and breastfeeds her children until the very latest date possible. I think all-natural approaches have been working for SO long, why change them? I like the balance, too of not expecting others to do this for your kiddos, as they shouldn't have to if you go out of town, etc. Smart lady! Sounds like you are planning everything out very well for baby Hart!

I did a lot of research and the main thing we didn't like was all of the extra laundry and time it would take. Also that you have to change more frequently. Ryan REALLY was not a fan. I wasn't freaked out about it being "gross" lol. We will be using all natural diapers though (most likely from the Honest Company).<br /><br />And to the reader above who asked about it getting your washer "dirty", everything I read said that because it is pretty liquid poo, or just stains when you start scraping the solids off into the toilet, it's no different than washing your own underwear. The detergent and warm water disinfect it all the same. CD moms will say "our washer doesn't stink or anything".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854389253351284318.post-50383636729732253052013-05-09T10:48:25.183-05:002013-05-09T10:48:25.183-05:00This may sound weird but ever since you mentioned ...This may sound weird but ever since you mentioned the CD's on Intstagram I have been waiting for this post!!!
