First things first - Poopy Diapers

Derek and I have decided to do cloth diapering.  Call me crazy if you want. Cloth diapering saves about 3,000 dollars by the time the child is potty trained.  But the diapers can be reused for all the children so the savings can add up very quickly.  The system we have decided to use is the fuzzibunz system.  The diapers are one size fit's all from premature to potty trained so we only will need to purchase 14-16 diapers instead of a new set of 14-16 diapers every three months.  Another reason we chose to cloth diaper is both Derek and I have very sensitive skin and so we are guessing our little one will also easily irritated.  This is probably going to force us to buy even more expensive diapers if they get rashes from the cheaper brands. This is nice because there are no unknown chemicals and we can control rashes by buying a non-irritating laundry soup.  They can be found at the Mommy n Me Store in Rexburg, this is their site http://mommynmestore.com/.  These are some other things we plan on getting from the fuzzibunz system that we plan on purchasing.  All the cloth diapering things can be found at the Mommy N Me store.  We'll probably just get the other type stuff from Wal-Mart or Target or whatever. All of the diapers are on lay-away at the mommy and me store in Rexburg, they have been paid for in part but anyone is welcome to put money on the lay-away as a gift. But no one would need to buy these for me since they are already on the lay-away. 
Water proof traveling tote to the put the diapers in or wet clothes when we are away from home.  - This is also on the lay-away at the Mommy and Me store. 

Waterproof hanging tote - What you keep the diapers in until you wash them at night.  I already have this. 

An ingenious idea that helps with the connivence of cloth diapers!!! This sprayer attaches to your toilet to make cleaning easier. We already have this sprayer. 

Little butt wipes.  You get them wet and they are soft so they won't hurt your baby's bum like a normal terry wash cloth.   I have one package of these but I wouldn't mind another. 

Waterproof changing pad. I wanted a couple of these - Some for changing and some for  putting under me during the night if my breasts leak milk while I am asleep. 
These are a cheaper version of the fuzzibunz waterproof pads.  They come in a pack of four and can be bought online at wal-mart.  I am not sure if they are in the store.  http://www.walmart.com/ip/Waterproof-Pads-4-Pack/5446853?adid=bzv_fb_revshr_001
Okay this is a terrible picture but I couldn't get a better one.  Anyways it's changing pad from walmart.  I really don't care about the color I just wanted a dark color so it wouldn't look gross after awhile. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Go-Mama-Go-Baby-Basics-Changing-Cover-in-Chocolate-Minky/15207202?qty_0=1&registry_id=86173020019&selected_variation_0=15207202&shopFor=true&upc=0071812281247

Since baby's get different kinds of diaper rash we plan on having at least one anti-fungal on hand. 
We need diaper rash cream - This one seems to be the best from people I have asked. 
Vaseline is always good for sore skin too :). I am told this is a MUST HAVE.
