Burnt Out

I have a 21 month old and a 7 month old, we have used cloth on both of them since birth. Mostly prefolds and fitteds and some pockets. I am just SO burnt out on all of it. We recently went home for 2 weeks and used sposies since we were flying and didn't have the room to pack our CDs. Now we are home... and I miss how easy the sposies were!! I know we can't really afford to use sposies, plus they ick me out... someone kick me or something!!

There's a reason so many people love their sposies! Could you take a mini-break from cloth by using sposies on just one child for a bit? Maybe buy a couple of fancy one-size diapers that can be used for both kids (investment pieces ) to add an excitement boost?

It's a total drag to be tired of cds b/c the alternative is so easy. We understand

I'm glad I'm not the only one this happens to!! I might look around to try and find a few new things... the biggest problem right now is that EVERYTHING we have gives one or the other of my kids a freaking rash... not anything bad, just a little red, but STILL. Gah.

Maybe the rash is detergent build up?

I totally get the burnt out feeling. I get that way sometimes too. Then all I need to do is go look at the prices for sposies. Somehow it 'cures' me for a bit.

I am burnt out too. I have a 2yo and a 7 month old in diapers and my husband is deployed. I am so behind on everything right now that I'm using sposies. I know eventually I will go back to cloth, but man things are so much easier right now!

Can you analyze what exactly was easier about the sposies?

(I actually find cloth easier bc I hate taking out the trash, especially a stinky bag of diapers, bleh.)

But anyway if you have been CDing for 21+7 months I think you have paid your environmental dues. Take a sposie break, sounds like you need it. Come back to cloth whenever you can handle it.

I'm pretty sure the rash isn't build up since it isn't the same diapers that give both boys a rash. The pockets get to my 21 month old and the fitteds get to my 7 month old... so confusing!!
