Diapering

I've offhandedly mentioned that we're going to try cloth diapering, but I thought it might warrant its own post. We decided to try a product called Fuzzi Bunz. We bought a set of 12 off Ebay, and if we like them, we'll buy some more. The outside layer is made of a waterproof fabric, which comes in a variety of colors and patterns.



These are "pocket style" diapers, which means that the absorbency comes from an insert that you stuff into each diaper. We are trying two kinds of inserts: microfiber cloth and hemp. The insert is separated from the baby's skin by a thin, soft layer of fleece, which wicks the wetness away from the skin and into the insert.



There are multiple rows of snaps on the diaper to ensure that you get a snug fit around the waist and the legs. The whole thing ends up going on and looking very much like a disposable diaper.



Seems easy enough right now. We'll see if that turns out to be the case when the boy gets here.
