Cloth Diaper Trial - Results!

Okay, so I slacked on reporting the rest of my diaper trial. We traveled two weekends in a row and thus washed diapers at someone else's house. That was a bit of a pain, and one washing was more successful than the other (fabric softener residue and a rogue dryer sheet), but I feel like I could handle it for traveling in the future. Having a full stash of diapers will help quite a bit, and a wetbag large enough for travel will also be a nice addition.

Our trial set has been successfully returned to Jillian's Drawers, and I've been slowly purchasing our stash. When all is said and done we'll have:

• 4 Grasshopper (light green) BGs
• 4 Butternut (yellow) BGs
• 4 Clementine (orange) BGs
• 4 White BGs
• 2 Noodle (vanilla, off-white) BGs
• 1 Meadow (green) Thirsties fitted
• 1 Honeydew (yellow-green) Thirsties fitted
• 1 Meadow Thirsties snap cover

The best part is that even though that sounds like a lot, we'll break even with Isabella even though we started really late and save quite a bit of money with a second baby! And then, once we're finished with the diapers, they can be sold to get part of our money back.

Cloth Diaper Trial - Day 7

Today I had to work, so Isabella's first cloth diaper didn't go on until 6:30 PM. She's also sleeping in cloth (BG 4.0). Luke and I have discussed what we think we'll be purchasing once our trial is done. We really like the BG 4.0s, so we'll probably end up purchasing around 15 of those (and getting 3 free thanks to BG's current sale!). My favorite for nighttime is still the Thirsties Duo Fitted with a Thirsties Duo Cover, so we'll likely get a couple of those, too. These next two weekends we'll be traveling, so we'll be trying out traveling with cloth diapers, and I'll make sure to do reviews following each weekend.

Cloth Diaper Trial - Day 6

All's well that ends well. Nothing eventful today, except that I purchased some BG 4.0's today.
