As I said, we’re very new to this whole cloth diapering thing.  New, but EXCITED.  Or, actually, I am.  My husband is mildly interested.  But, considering Evie wore only ’sposies on Mother’s Day when it was his job to change her diapers all day, I’m guessing he has some catching up to do.  Then again, he might be more interested once we get more “convenient” diapers in our stash.

Yesterday, Evie spent the day in infant prefolds (folded with the “bikini twist fold”), a homemade fleece liner and prorap covers.  I thought it went pretty well.  We only had one pee leak early on in the day and I think that was because I hadn’t made sure that all of the prefold was tucked into the prorap.  Oops!  I also think I need to perfect my fastening technique.  I think I’ve been making it too tight for the little dear as she has, at times, seemed uncomfortable.  And, well, the prefolds aren’t as comfortable as they could be.  I think they could stand a few more washings.

We put her in a BG 3.0 for bedtime and that worked great.  Not even the barest hint of a leak all night long.  And she had a significant poop overnight that I wasn’t even aware of until I changed her diaper this morning.  Whoops!   But I don’t think she’d sat in it for too long, which is good.  I was impressed that the diaper held up as well as it had.  Just as impressed as I was Saturday night she wore a BG 3.0 to the drive-in and had an Epic Poop and it was easily contained.  Now that’s something even your average ’sposie has trouble with!

I did some laundry last night and washed the pail liner I’d purchased at Walmart with the diapers.  Unfortunately, it was a pretty cheap liner.  It bled blue dye on the microfiber inserts and some of the prefolds.  To top it off, a big hole tore open in the side during the wash cycle.  Ugh.  That’s what I get for being cheap.  So I went over to Diaper Swappers and got a Wahmies pail liner off of FSOT.  It’s what I should have done in the first place.

In other news, I got an email this morning that gDiapers has released their new little g pants.  The new colors are Golly Molly Pink, Grasshopper Green and Goodnight Blue.  They look really cute, too!  Also, you get get flushable liners for 10% off for the next three days only.  That’s definitely a good stock up opportunity!
