Ever since I found out I was pregnant with kidlet number two, I have been thinking of ways to safe money before and after our new little addition arrives. Hey, I'm very frugally minded. I can't help it.
One thing I have looked into, much to the husband's dismay, is: cloth diapering.
Okay, okay. Stop rolling your eyes. Let me say a little something in my defense. I know that my announcing that we are, or at least I am, considering using cloth diapers doesn't help the image I may emanate to many as an uber-crunchy, hippie-esque, granola mama. True, some of my thoughts on birth, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, etc. are a little foreign to some (read: most) people, but I swear I'm not that weird. I own a T.V., eat meat (albeit, rarely), and take long showers.
Cloth diapers just seem to make sense to me. They save the environment by decreasing the amount of diapers rotting in landfills on this planet, they don't have the chemicals that disposable diapers have, and most importantly, they save money! Ludicrous amounts of money! Is it sad that saving money ranks up there over saving the enviroment?
See. Told you. Not a hippie. ^_^
Since the Husband is pretty much against the cloth diaper thing 110%, I've been trying to put the idea out of my head. However, the idea of saving $80 a month on disposable diapers is really, really difficult for my frugal little mind to ignore.
So, what do you think? I wanted to throw this out there in cyberspace: cloth or 'sposies? Any opinions, experience, insight? C'mon, cyberspace! Don't fail me now!
