Still lovin’ the cloth diapers!  The good news is the other night was the first time I was brave enough to leave Princess Tater Tot in a cloth diaper because I was afraid of leaks.  Not only did they not leak, but she didn’t wake up early and fuss like she does sometimes when her disposable is soaked through.  I’ve rarely had a disposable leak overnight (maybe once or twice in a year) but they’re sopping wet and uncomfortable for The Tot.  Not so with the Bum Genius!  I used a Cottonbabies microterry insert with a Babykicks Joey Bunz Hemparoo insert closest to the moisture and it worked like a charm! 

I have to give props to FuzziBunz, too, though.  They generally seem to have a more trim fit on Tater Tot than the Bum Genius although I haven’t tried the Bum Genius with only a Hemparoo insert.  That would give them a more trim profile, I’m sure. 

I wish I’d cloth diapered from day one but I just didn’t have it together enough to do it back then.  We had a fairly rocky start with The Tot in the NICU for two weeks and home with meds after that.  By the time she had gotten stronger and we had figured out what her colic was all about (reflux), I was traumatized!  It took me a while to relax into mommyhood.  When I look back on all that we went through, I am so grateful to be here where my most pressing problem is that she is kinda clingy sometimes and sometimes doesn’t want to take her afternoon nap!
