Cloth diapers

Did I tell you that we are going to use cloth diapers in Arthur?
Yes! But don’t worry because cloth diapers that you can find nowadays are not like those from old days!
They are beautiful and easy to use and wash.
Eu já contei para vocês que usaremos fraldas de pano no Arthurzinho?
Pois é, mas não se assustem por que as fraldas de pano de hoje em dia são bem diferentes daquelas que nós mesminhos usamos! Hahahah....elas são práticas de lavar, de colocar e ainda por cima são lindas!

The idea came when I was reading in Ana’s blog about it. She was using a part cloth and part disposable diapers. She said that it was easy to use and I also love the environmental idea behind it. So, I started to read more about it and then decided to use it.
I am planning to use them at home and use disposable when leaving home.
A idéia de usar fraldas de pano surgiu quando eu li sobre a experiência da Ana no blog dela. Ela usou meio a meio, pano e descartável. Achei interessante e adoro a idéia de poluir menos. Essa é a minha maior motivação: environment. Então comecei a pesquisar mais sobre o assunto e decidi usar. Pretendemos usar em casa as de pano e para sair as descartáveis.

Here you can check the diapers we bought to Arthur.

Aqui vocês podem ver as fraldinhas que compramos para o Arthur.
Some I bought from Little Tree Huggers (online store). They have a free consultant service where you can see and touch the diapers as well understand about the differences between them, etc. I met the consultant here in Calgary and then choose those:

AMP Hemp Fitted Diaper: this kind are good for newborns babies

 AMP Bamboo Insert: you can use them inside fitted diapers and inside pocket diapers to protect more and make it easier to clean up.

Covers for fitted diaperes. Calças plásticas.

 Thirsties Duo Diaper: they have a pocket to use the inserts and for them you don't need any cover.

I also bought some diapers from Enfant Style Diapers (online store) where I found good prices for the brands I was looking for.

These two are a fitted Kissaluvs Cloth Diaper

A friend also gave me about 10 diapers that she had used in her daughter. This is another advantage from cloth diapers: they can be used many times and for more than one child. Those are from Kushies but fit only babies three months old and up.
Uma amiga me deu várias fraldas que ela usou na filha dela. Estas são da Kushies e um pouco maiores, para usar a partir dos 3 meses.

 Here are the covers. Calças plásticas.

I can’t wait to see Arthur bum full with these pretty diaperrs!
Eu não vejo a hora de ver o bumbum do Arthurzinho  redondinho com essa fraldas tão fofas!

Diapers' kisses,
