Why I cloth diaper
The other day someone gave me kudos for keeping with cloth diapers after two years. I told them that it was really my stubbornness that kept my daughter in her Fuzzi Bunz and out of disposables. When I was pregnant with my first child I spent hours trolling the internet on everything from cribs to bottles to diapers. I came across these things called, "Fuzzi Bunz," a product which guaranteed not to be the cloth diaper of days yore.
Investing in this brand was not cheap and probably saved me little money in first few months. However, I knew that I was not only investing in diapers for baby #1 but also any additional offspring. As I sit here pregnant for the second time I am comfy in the knowledge that I don't have to buy any more diapers ... ever. Lastly, the resale value of brand name cloth diapers on eBay is fantastic so as long as I keep them in good shape, I can recoup a lot of my costs.

Finally come the obvious environmental benefits. With every diaper change, I know that I am not contributing to the bulk in my garbage can or my local landfill. As for my daughter, she's never had diaper rash and potty training came early. I'm not perfect, I have disposables as a backup but I am quite happy with my cloth diapering commitment and it sure does feel good to prove the nay-sayers wrong.
