| This is my stash. In case you were wondering, that is a BUM-ble bee on top. Tee-hee. |
The bamboo flat is new, but I've been using everything else for quite some time. Most of the flats were used for the challenge last year too. We have a handful of prefolds we often incorporate, especially for nights.
I could get by with less if I wanted, but it is pretty awesome to realize that ALL my diapers from birth to potty training (and we can use them again on the next kid) cost just over $100. And I use the diapers and wipes as burp cloths, snot rags, nursing covers and whatever else is convenient at the time!
If I had sewing skills or really wanted to save more, I could easily save more money, but I think this is still a pretty good deal! My son is over 14 months old now, and we have only spent a little over $100 on diapers (I often found better deals than the prices listed above) and about $26 on wipes (I keep some dollar store disposable wipes on hand for traveling).
Usually I use a wetbag as well, but this week I'm just tossing stuff directly in the tub. There are also a few other items I'm using for hand washing that I use more than just this week, or for more than diaper purposes. You can see some pictures of them in action in yesterday's post.
- A super awesome showerhead
that doubles as a diaper sprayer
- Mini plastic washboard
= about $7
- Small green pail = $3
- Froggy Potty
for conserving diapers a few times a day (and when we are lucky, making #2 easier to clean up)
- Clothes drying rack
- spray bottle with water + Essential Oils
- Country Save detergent
