I was a cloth diaper baby. Tydee Dydeee Diaper Service was a regular visitor at our house back in Illinois.
My siblings still tell me to this day about that stinky diaper pail and those pokey diaper pins.
Well - these days cloth diapers have vastly improved.
We were just discussing cloth diapers and day care last week.
In today’s Star Tribune you’ll find this article by Sarah Moran about the resurgence in the popularity of cloth diapers.
May and I both were/are “disposable” parents and learned how prevalent cloth diapers were becoming last year when we visited the Parenting Oasis in South Minneapolis.
One woman showing us around told us “We have regular diaper swaps.”
May and I asked “Oh you mean, like when you just buy a new jumbo case of size 3 diapers and your kid starts blowing out of them and you need to start buying size 4 and you have all of these leftovers?”
“No. We have a cloth diaper swap.”
“Oh.” and we instantly knew our kids would probably be in the minority for having Sesame Street characters on their diapers.
Are you are a cloth diaper user? - Which ones do you recommend? Pros? Cons?
