This week I confess about diapers…
Confession #1: We use wipes.
Now for some of you this might seem like a cop out as who doesn’t use wipes? Well…lots of people. Many people who us cloth diapers like us, choose to use cloth wipes, or buy wipes that only contain natural ingredients or even make their own. My natural mom side loves these ideas, can get excited about these ideas and has even tried them…but the motivation to continue using them never lasts as we just don’t find them as convenient all the way around. Nope, this prada mom uses regular old chemical laden wipes. Ok, ok, I do have standards and tried to choose ones with the least amount but still…it is what it is…a wipe.
(And just for the record, we did start out buying the very expensive natural wipes with no chemicals but they made baby’s skin rash up everytime…)
Confession #2: There are disposable diapers in our house.
A few weeks ago we went to get Ella dressed. She looked cute in her jeans and shirt and off we went quite happy with our cute baby. That is until we put her down on the ground and she could barely sit let alone crawl. Sure natural mom was on my right shoulder nodding her head approvingly as she looked on happy to see babe in a cloth diaper as prada mom sat on the left shaking her head with her hand on her hip. Prada mom won out, it was decided that when we go out and Ella is wearing clothes that she will wear a disposable diaper for her comfort and to fill this prada mom’s need for her baby to look like a normal shaped baby with a cute bottom.
