Having run out of my gift supply of disposables a couple of weeks ago, I've started using cloth diapers now. It's amazing how our trash output has slowed! I decided to use cloth wipes as well. I took some fabric I already had, cut it into squares, and serged around the edges. It only took me a couple of hours to make 50 wipes, so I have a good supply. I saved a wipes container, which I put my cloth wipes in, along with a bottle that has slightly soapy water in it. This way, I can just squirt some water onto the wipe, and I'm good to go! So far I've been happy with cloth diapering!
I hope it works out well for you...I love your idea about keeping the wipes and bottle of soapy water in an old wipes box.
ReplyDeleteI tried using terry nappies when my children were babies, but they had such terrible eczema rashes that I went back to using disposables. It's horrible to think that those disposables are still lying in some landfill site somewhere, even after over 16 years. I read somewhere they take decades to decompose.
Good for you to be environmentally friendly! :)
Im due in OCtober and plan on cloth diapers myself. Where did ytou get them I have been looking all over to price them out?
