Showing Off my Newborn Stash!

I became slightly addicted to the cloth diapers (CD) when my daughter was 3 months old. (Wondering why on Earth I would opt for this??? Check out this Cloth 101!) It was tempered with needing to convince her daycare providers it was a) okay by the state code and b) better for her, the class and environment for a multitude of reasons. After we got past that, they gladly accepted them and worked with us, but I didn't want to stray too much for a very comfortable style of Bum Genius (aplix only at the time). (Need help talking to your provider? Check here: Daycare Tip Sheet) However, we had a few others at home we used- Fuzzibunz for one and Rumparooz for another.

Since I'm staying at home this time with the new baby (and other 2), we went all out for newborn cloth. With gently used sales on popular CDing sites, friends selling parts of their own newborn stash, etc I was able to build a stash slowly. Many of those CD sites have rewards programs and I am redeeming a $30 credit tonight that I forgot I had on 1 last newborn dipe I really wanted to try (Swaddlebees Simplex Newborn AIO) and a few other odds and ends. I also hosted a diaper party with an EverythingBirth consultant and got some free and discounted diapers since all my friends wanted Moby wraps!

So, I posted about how I organized the diapers with the help of my amazing husband. Now, I'll show you what I have. My plan is to write a review about how I liked them and how the baby did with them. Whenever possible, I opted for the snap version since I have had to switch out all the aplix on the stash from my daughter after her using them about 18 months. Plus, it got annoying with it all sticking together after the dryer.
