Cloth Diapering

     So a few of you may have noticed that we have added cloth diapers to our baby registry (link to baby registry on right side of page:)) Yes, we do plan to cloth diaper and we have a few reasons for doing this. First let me tell you that I have read more in the last 6 months about diapers then I EVER imagined I would ever read. I had no idea how many options were available. Cloth diapering is not what it used to be.
     After much research we have decided to go with FuzziBunz brand of cloth diapers. I’m not going to focus so much on brands here, more the reasons for cloth diapering in the first place. Below is my top 5 list.
#1 Expense: “Using Cloth Diapers can save you from 44-68% over the cost of disposable diapers.”
#2 Environment
#3 One size fits all option that is adjustable with snaps. Since this is only our first child, we can reuse them for baby 2 or 3 as well.
#4. Easy to use, see video below (poo warning)





#5 They look cool!

I have been asked about washing them prior to use. Some cloth diapers require extensive washing before you can use them. Something to do with absorbancy. This particular brand you only need to wash once before use. Recommended laundry detergent is Tide Free, or Arm and Hammer Free. These cost about the same as normal Tide and Arm and hammer.

The whole purpose for this blog is to share and learn. If you think I have overlooked anything, good or bad. Please bring it to my attention in the comments on Facebook or on Twitter.

My New Home On The Web

     Thanks for stopping by, my name is Wayne Wyatt and this will be my new home on the web. As some of you may know my wife and I have decided to flip the roles a bit. She will be (the provider) and I will be the stay at home dad (SAHD). This may be a new concept for some of you but in fact this is a growing trend especially in developed western nations. (See Wikipedia article)
     This will be my space to discuss the trials and tribulations of being a SAHD. Blogger is a new site for me so it might take a couple of posts before I get it down 100%. My wife is now 21 weeks pregnant today. We had our anatomy ultrasound last week and were told that we were going to have a girl. They were unable to get good pictures of the spine and lips so we have another ultrasound scheduled for Aug. 2nd, hopefully this will confirm that she is indeed a she.
     The main point of this blog will be to get advice from other SAHD’s (or moms!) and to someday be a reference for any other men thinking about being a SAHD. I know that I will have many questions for my friends, family, and new friends that I have yet to meet. That’s all for now, Its late and I just wanted to get this blog started. There will be much more to come as this roller coaster called life rolls on.
