LlamaJama's
We only ever used disposable diapers for night time and outings but it still added up to a lot of money being thrown away over 2 years, so I have decided to do what I can to convert to cloth completely. I am rather adverse to plastic so we kinda got by without covers, the only plastic alternative being wool, which can be expensive, and I didn't think it would work that well.
So instead of buying the usual monthly pack of disposables I spent the money on a pair of llama/wool, "longies". Basically wool pants that are also a diaper cover, I wanted them for pajama's as his worst leaks were at night. I had my doubts but they are fantastic!!!! No leaks!
For your info, here are some great properties of wool:
it can absorb 30-40% of it's weight in liquid without feeling wet OR cold,
it breathes with the skin, regulating temperature in hot or cold weather,
it helps combat/prevents diaper rash,
it is naturally anti-bacterial, it doesn't need to be washed often, just air dryed (Other Moms have said they wash their's from once a week to once every 2-3 months, apparently it dosen't smell!)
and it is naturally fire resistant (other baby pj's are treated with fire proofing chemicals which are currently being investigated as toxic)
Some wool CAN be itchy, but some is incredibly soft, plus these LlamaJama's are just too cute!
You can even get matching sweaters!
I have also found that if you shop around, the prices aren't so bad :)
Bet you were all just desperate to know all that! Hehehe :D
