And I Thought I Was Nuts...
Posted: 11-06-07 18:43pm

I was watching bringing home baby today and this lady not only had a natural birth with no meds but she had twins. She also was nursing both of them and hopes to until they are two. Then to top it off they are using cloth diapers. geez i thought twins were hard enough without all of that!

I want a set of multiples one day but no naturally!

I don't think she's nuts ! I think so is overly ambitious!! I would be very surpirsed if she sticks to the 2 yr mark or cloth diapers. Who knows though!

I'm addicted to discovery health and TLC's baby shows! I think *I'M* nuts. I've been addicted to them ever since my freshmen year of college... and way before I ever had any "run in"'s with pregnancy myself!

My husbands mother used cloth diapers with her kids. Man... that really would save a lot of money huh?

Weird question: How do you go about using cloth diapers? In a picture that I love that Bridget posted of finn I think he's wearing one. Do you use them Bridget? So like... how do you keep it in place... just with those ole' timey diaper pins? And how do you go about getting all the yucky out of the diaper before dumping a load in the washer? You can't possibly just put a whole bunch of cloth diapers in the washing machine together as-is... right? And where do you keep them while you're waiting for some more to get dirty so you can wash a load of them together? A hamper of those in the bathroom just would not smell very pleasant. You can't practically diaper-genie those, you know?! I feel really dumb, but I really don't know these things! Laughing I guess it really is a good thing I'm not pregnant.

nope, i don't have the patience for cloth. i do have a picture of finn (where he's in a basket) and he has an old fashioned cloth diaper tied around his bottom, but that was just for pictures.

they've come a long way from what you're picturing though. i think some people still use the thick white diaper with rubber pants over it, but most people use stuff like these-

i just don't think i'd want to deal with the laundering.

haha... see I didn't even know there were "cloth diapers". I thought the thick, white diaper cloths were still the norm. I pictured exactly what finn had on in that basket picture. I'm so embarrassed Laughing

Still though... I have a lot of questions about the laundry process with them.

Cloth diapering isn't too bad. Then again, I don't have twins. It is easier than people think.
