Ew! Gross!

That's the reaction I get when I tell people we cloth diaper Liam.  I'm not offended mostly because I was once like them.

To be honest, before I had my son I didn't give much thought about the amount of trash I produced. It wasn't that I didn't care, I just didn't think about it.

Then I read somewhere it takes about 500 years for diapers to decompose. What!? That's when I started thinking about how many diapers a child goes through until age 2. Approximately 7500. Yep. Seven thousand five hundred. Now think about how long each one of those sits in a landfill. Then have more than one child.  Well, you get the point.

I decided to learn more about cloth diapering. I joined a cloth diapering Facebook page.  I YouTube'd until I couldn't YouTube anymore. I placed my first order, and I was hooked (Liam hadn't even arrived yet).

Besides being eco-friendly,  cloth diapering will save us thousands. Liam has yet to have a rash (he's 7 months), and they are so cute!
