Monday Mommies: Jamie C.

Today's Monday Mommy is Jamie! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Also If you would like to become a monday mommy go to the discussions tab on our facebook page for more information! Thanks!

Tell us a little about yourself?
We are in Huntsville,AL and I am from Chicago, IL. I am a stay at home mom to 3 boys 6-4-2. I have my youngest in cloth full time and we are starting to use the pottty. I have my 4 yr old in cloth at night.

Why did you decide to use cloth?
What made me think of cloth is I wanted to do better for my sons and the earth so we started cloth when my youngest was 1 and I started using cloth for my at the time, 3yr old, when he got burned from the pampers he was wearing. I wanted to have him in cloth for night time but hes a big boy I found a great WAHM on eBay to make him some diapers.

My mother-in-law has been trying to get me to use cloth and I said no to the thin cloth and pins with rubber pants. That is what I thought of cloth diapers. I thought when they peed it would be all over. My family thought I was crazy but not my mom or youngest sister. My husband didn't care, what ever I wanted was fine. When my mother-in-law saw the new cloth she was so happy she wished she had had them.

What does your stash consist of? What was your first diaper?
My first diaper was flats with covers thirsties, kushies and bumgenius They all got super used. I only have the flats and covers. I like to try new and different diapers. I get bored.

Where is your favorite place to look online about diapers?
My favorite place would be all over FB, gdiapers, diaper swappers, CCBaby,,anything that has to do with cloth diapering.

What do you use to launder your diapers?
I use Charlies soap and LOVE it never had any problems. I strip by adding a little dawn to a wash and rise and rise a bunch of times. I have really need to strip scine I went to charlies.

Do you have any advise for someone considering switching to cloth?
My advise to anyone is there is alot of opptions out there not all diapers will work for you and you LO. Try as many differnt ones untill you find you you like.

Also there is a lot of different WAHM's out there how make great diapers.
