Changing- Diapers that is

So, I've been looking into modern cloth diapers. Don't say "Ewwww!" just yet. (I can see your face Lyns) They have come a long way and there's no more swishing them in the toilet. The realization that we will have 3 under 3 and all in diapers scares me (especially the cost). Carlise is very resistant to potty training and I'm not going to force it. Especially just for her to regress after the baby is born. Did you know Wal-mart sells them online? pretty cheap, too. I think we're going with All-in-ones (AIO) which are just as convenient as disposables, only you re-use them. yay! I have a friend in the breastfeeding support group who is trying to sell her stash. I went over yesterday and looked at them and she sent me home with some to try out. We're still not even sure if this is what we want to do. I have to be able to keep up the laundry. And I'm going to buy disposable liners to deal with the solid matter. They make it so much easier. The ones I would LOVE to buy (but would also need a loan to do it) are the bumgenius one-size diapers they're like an AIO, but are actually a Pocket diaper. You stuff a pocket to customize the absorbency of the diaper. The thing I love about these is the fact I could diaper all 3 of my children with one diaper. No different sizes to deal with because it fits 7-35lbs. Oh well, I can drool. =]

Hey I was looking at those cloth diapers on the bumgenius.com....they are spendy but if you look on like ebay or craiglist you could prob find them a bit cheaper...I looked on ebay and they had a 9 pack for $162 but if you bought like 27 or something and do like a load of wash a day...it would be alot of money up front but I think it would be A TON cheaper in the long run for sure...I think its a great idea...I may think about that when we have another one...you are so smart... love ya bunches

ugh....you're right. I made a face. I just have this vision of a women I babysat for in NY who used the plunger to wash the diapers in the potty and would leave them there forever. Makes me want to throw up a little....
