in defense of prefolds

We started cloth diapering again this week. We had stopped for several months. In short, I’ve just had issue after issue with my diapers.

She just barely squeaked by to get in, since the age cut-off was Sept 1st. So, a lot has been going on here, as usual. * For Memorial Day, we went down to Orlando for my nephew’s 2nd birthday.
