I gave up cloth diapering

Some times as mom I think I make things harder on myself.

One of those instances for me was cloth diapering. 

I decided to cloth diaper before Braden was born. 

I wanted to love it...

 because it would save money,

 the diapers were cute, 

and because it seemed to be like the cool thing to do

(which is really a ridiculous reason to do anything, just incase you were wondering ;) 

A few months ago I just got super fed up with cloth diapering. 

I was tired of having to deal with the poop, honestly. 

I just want to be able to take the diaper off and be done. 

I don't want to have to try to get the poop off (I know... this is gross)

And struggling to get them clean was a pain. 

I decided enough was enough...I'm done with cloth diapering. 

It's not worth the stress and frustration for me. 

Plus, did I mention the smell of cloth diapers makes me so sick when pregnant?

Seriously, gross. 

This is been something I feel guilty about. 

Mostly because it would save a ton of money and that would be helpful.

Thankful my husband isn't that into cloth diapering and just told me to quit! ;)

I'm trying to talk myself into not feeling guilty because really its just silly

And it's okay to not cloth diaper.

Cloth diapering doesn't equal being a good mama. 

Loving and taking care of my babies does. 

By the way... I have a ton of cloth diapers for sale if anyone is interested! ;)

Mostly bum genesis and a few others! 

My battle with cloth diapering

I never really thought about using cloth diapers, not until I saw a handful of mom's around me doing so.

My thoughts were something along the lines of, "isn't that what they did in the old days?" 

Because, well, it was...

But I listened to mom's talk about it and how it saves money + is good for the environment. 

Not to mention they make the babies butts look so darn cute. 

So I made the decision that we'd use cloth diapers and we do, most of the time.
But can I just say that some times I really hate them? 

I despise doing laundry and they surely add a ton more because um, babies go to the bathroom a lot! ;)

It's not even the laundry part that makes me dislike them so much at times...

It is the fact that some times they are just nasty. 

I tried spraying them, but really it just got everywhere and I really didn't want to throw up.
So then I used a spatula. Not gonna lie... that was probably worse. 

Now, I just dunk em.

Still grossed out? 

Yeah, me too. Seriously, some times that makes me want to gag. 

Some times its just easier to use disposables and I do. 

I give myself grace in this area because at times its better to not deal with it. 

It's a battle really. I go back and forth between wanting to keep on using them and wanting to stop. 

I know though, that using them will save a ton of money because my goodness diapers are pricey! 

That's what will keep me using them. 

And the fact that I just got a box of them for $50 for baby Maeva. ;) Love finding them for cheap! 

Do you use cloth? Did you and then stop? 

What are your thoughts of cloth diapering? Worth it or no?
