Cloth Ramble

It's been far too long since I posted!
We've been quite busy with a lot of appointments these past couple of weeks.
Just wanted to post some thoughts & opinions.

We have recently reintroduced cloth diapers in our home. YAY!
When my dd my 4 months old we started using cloth.
I absolutely LOVED it!
Our favorite brand was Applecheeks, just an overall fantastic diaper.
Actually, all of their products are wonderful.
They are a sized diaper, size 1 and size 2.
I really liked that about them because my daughter was born 6 weeks premature and used to be on the small side. They were such a good fit on her. 
About 1-2 months later she developed a rash :(
The diapers were causing it, unfortunately. 
At the time I didn't know much about cloth and so sadly we gave up cloth because the rash didn't go away. 
We decided to reintroduce, which I was ecstatic about!
My dd has very sensitive skin and was constantly getting rashes in disposables.
I don't mean a little pink/red rash, like a big mean red and raw rash.
It always looked so painful. Every time I would take her to the ACC (acute care clinic)
and of course I would then have to load her up with all kinds of creams.
OT for just a second.
Yesterday she had her 18 month baby wellness check up.
She was is a sposie because we only had 5 diapers.
Of course the day I put one on her she gets a rash. Coincident? I think not!
Her doctor told us she was having a reaction to the pampers' diapers.
We normally get Huggies.
So, she put an order in for Hyrdcortisone  .
The cloth has done wonders for us. We now have a few favorites!
Applecheeks is still my favorite. I now really like Grovia AIO and Bumgenius Flip!
They all are such a great fit on dd. Once all our orders are in I will post pictures and do a review/comparison on tthem. That way you can know before purchasing.

If you don't use cloth, but have thought about it, go ahead and try it! You will LOVE it, I promise!
It saves you a lot of money too, who doesn't like having some extra money?
Just my ramble for the day.
