A little behind -- 6 weeks old!!

D is six weeks old in these pictures. :) Over that weekend, he'd grown out of his tiny gDiapers and is finally into the small size gDiapers/gPants. Which means that we can finally start using the cloth inserts (the tiny g's use the disposable insert)!

The small size uses the cloth or disposable insert, so when we're out and about we use the disposables instead. We also put one of each in D's diaper when he's down for the night to help wick away the moisture and keep him sleeping longer! Don't need him waking up just because he's wet, and not because he's hungry!

I also like the fun colors of the little gPants. No, that's not D modeling the gPant, just a sample of the fun diaper covers they make. These aren't your old-fashioned cloth diapers - no diaper pins involved at all! Yes, I must admit, I do match the gPant to his outfit when I can, even when you can't see them because he's wearing pants!

Since I'm behind posting, I can say that I definitely didn't have enough cloth inserts and needed to order some more. I wasn't even able to wash every other day, and didn't have the time to be washing diapers every day!!

It doesn't help right now that D absolutely hates to be wet! We can change a diaper and 20 minutes later he's unhappy because he's peed in it again... So, we're definitely going through the 12 diapers a day that they talk about for cloth diapering! I don't mind the extra messing though.

We're still using homemade flannel wipes along with a wipes solution I found on the internet a while back. I also didn't have enough wipes made either, so more of those had to be cut. I found some closeout flannel in a cute print, so it didn't cost much to buy a few yards.

I also have to say, that yes, I know everything on the internet isn't real, but wherever I read that flannel won't fray around the edges when cut with a pinking shears lied! (Yes, I'm sure all the Grandma's are laughing at me, that's OK. I know... I should have asked and you would have told me!) All the wipes have now been hemmed around the edges so they don't fray any more! Thanks Mom for finishing the last batch! Knock on wood, but he's had no diaper rash issues at all!
