Cloth diaper!
The diaper dilemma is over! Jacob is wearing cloth about 99 percent of the time. I love his recycled wool sweater diaper covers. I had them made from some felted sweaters that I had been saving for crafting. They cost about $12 each to make. The nice thing about wool is that it absorbs extremely well, no leaks so far. Also, there is no smell because it neutralizes the smell from the urine. They are not as bulky or warm as most people think either. They also don't irritate his skin. Overall, I'm really happy with the way things are working out. Jacob seems happy too. It's been nice because he hasn't been in daycare this summer, so we can do whatever we want with feeding and cloth diapering. We'll see how things go in the fall when he goes back to daycare. I don't think they are opposed to cloth diapers, but according to his teacher, not one mother has done it in her time working at the daycare.

I almost cried yesterday when I bought a pack of disposables. We are going to be in Yosemite for a week and I don't want to deal with cloth!!!
