Cloth Diapering Times Two!

Double the Diapers, Double the Pins, Double the Savings, We are having Twins!

(35 weeks pregnant with twins)

Finding out that we were expecting twins only made me want to cloth diaper that much more! When thinking about all the diapers we would go through with twins I could not imagine throwing all that into the trash... What I mean is spending literally thousands of dollors filling landfills with disposable diapers.

Cloth diapering twins has saved me time. One of the hardest things I have found with having twins is running errands. I am so glad my time is not spent running out for diapers. I also don't have to spend my time changing my boys outfits several times a day due to explosive poops up the back. I remember my daughter in disposable diapers, we would go through 2-3 outfits a day because of messes not contained in the disposables. I don't have time to be changing and cleaning up 2 babies all day. Besides that would really mess up their matching outfits, ha ha... With the cloth diapers everything is contained in the diaper, even the really messy ones. The big question I hear a lot is: What about all the laundry? I really do not notice the laundry side of it being anymore time consuming. I still do the same number of diaper loads, (1 everyother day or two.)

Keeping my babies health in mind is very important to me. With cloth diapers there are no harsh chemicals like the ones found in disposable diapers. There are a lot of reports out there showing just how harmful the chemicals in disposable diapers can be, some of which can leave your baby's bottom red and even cause diaper rash. My boys are over 5 months old and have never had a diaper rash.

If any of you are considering not using cloth because you are having multiples or you will have more than one in diapers, I would suggest that you reconsider for the sake of time, money, the enviroment, and your babies bottoms!
