I haven’t given a good “cloth diapering update” in a while and I wanted to let you all know that I’m still here and going strong!  While my daughter’s rash isn’t 100% gone, it’s not near as bad as it was.  I’m thinking it just had to run it’s course, though I did whatever I could to keep the redness down.

Evie is still 100% cloth diapered.  At this point, I don’t think I would dream about putting a disposable on her.  We don’t even have any in the house that would fit her any longer!  Her “stash” is still pretty small and I would love the opportunity to grow it someday but there just hasn’t been a good opportunity to do so.  Plus, whenever I get the chance I just want to buy fancy, expensive stuff instead of something practical.  Bad mama!  Here is our stash:

• 6 bumGenius diapers (three of these are generally worn by Liam part time, however, and Evie only wears them very occasionally.)
• 10 5 unbleached Indian prefolds (whoops, miscounted) (I have found I prefer the softer Indian prefolds)
• 2 prorap covers
• 1 WAHM-made PUL cover that I love so much it hurts. (it’s lavender and is lined with cozy fleece and is a side-snapping style that I am finding I HEART so much)
• 4 fitteds including 1 Bagshot Row Bamboo (BSRB) apre-fitted style fitted, 1 goodmama (GM), 1 Sammy One Size (SOS) and 1 Muttaquin 3 step rise (Mutt 3sr).  The BSRB has a very low rise and I generally use it when I want Evie to “air out” or when we’re sticking around home.  It’s very trim but not very practical.  I still don’t really care for the Mutt.  Too many snaps!  I am finding I kinda enjoy the SOS, even if the print isn’t especially fabulous and my favorite fitted is the GM.  Go figure!
• 5 prefitteds (3 tinkle traps and 2 of another brand that I’ve forgotten the name of already).  A prefitted stands for a “prefold fitted”.  It’s essentially a prefold that has been cut and sewn to resemble a fitted diaper but usually lacks the closure (I use a Snappi to close them).  I LOVE these and use them all the time here at home.  They have elastic in them to contain messes and fit the baby better and they are the right price!
• 5 Rumparooz (RaR) pocket diapers. I have two prints, one solid and two minky.  My favorite BY FAR is the one with snaps that I just recently got off FSOT.  I now wish all my RaR diapers had snaps because I had the Aplix on the RaR diapers.  I WISH I had a snap press or knew someone with one so they could convert the RaR for me.

And there you have it. 33 28 diapers.  Wow, that’s a lot more than I would have thought I had.  I guess because at least three of those diapers aren’t generally worn by my daughter that I think I have less?  I still do diaper laundry every 2-2 1/2 days.  And I still want more diapers!  I want more fitteds and prefitteds as well as more snap RaR diapers.  Maybe some more bumGenius too, if I got lucky enough to find them at our local Target (had you heard that some Targets now have bumGenius diapers??).  Or come in on another seconds sale, because that was a great deal.  I do wish I had more diapers so that I could use them on Liam more, help him gear up to potty training.  I don’t think I want to try to do prefolds on him.  I’m not THAT brave.

So what’s up with you all?  What do you think is missing from your diaper stash?  m
