Cloth Diapering, Take Two

We had to stop cloth diapering when I got pregnant with #3 because I couldn't handle it mixed with the ridiculous amounts of 24/7 "morning" sickness that I was having. We ended up switching Genevieve back to up & up brand diapers, and potty trained Sebastian.

Now, I am almost 21 weeks pregnant and the morning sickness is still frequent, but not constant. Hopefully this week we will be making the switch back to cloth. I'm really looking forward to it, because I actually missed the cloth diapers. They're just so pretty, and they have been sitting all alone in their dresser drawers for months. They must be lonely.


One problem that we had before we stopped using our cloth diapers was that we were having a lot of nighttime leaks. I did some digging around with some help from my favorite cloth diaper store, Bums N'beyond, and found out that our leaks were probably because we have tummy sleepers, and that AppleCheeks brand is supposed to be the best for heavy wetters. So, I sold a few of my current cloth diapers to a friend, and was able to purchase three used AppleCheeks from the owner of the store. I'm waiting to see what happens before buying any more, because apparently the "best" brand comes with a pretty high price tag. 


Wish us luck!
