We were supposed to go to a cloth diapering class this past Saturday, but we found out our nephew was having a quickie birthday party that day instead.  So maybe this weekend we’ll make it.

My friend Gina had a good comment the other day about cloth diapering.  It sounds like we’ll be using cloth diapers similarly to how she used them.  There isn’t a nearby diaper service here, but we have a brand new washing machine that has all these bells & whistles, including a sanitize mode that will come in handy washing diapers.  And we are totally not going to be cloth diaper purists.  We go on way too many day trips and longer trips to fiddle with cloth diapers during those times.  We’ll be using disposables for trips, illness (me or baby) and for days when we’re expecting to be gone big chunks of the day.  So I plan to have at least a package of disposables in the appropriate size available all the time here at the house.

Now it is just a matter of figuring out which cloth diaper solution to go with and actually purchase the things.  We’ll be using disposables for the first 6 weeks so we still have a bit of time to figure this whole thing out.
