Needed: New Nappies!

Or, cloth diapers for you Americans. :-)

We use the awesome Flip diaper system, from Cotton Babies. This is the perfect diapering system for our home. We have babies of all ages and sizes. The Flip diapers snap to fit sizes from newborn to big toddler. Our little Noah was wearing them at 6lbs and our four year old Lizzy, who has CP, wears them as well. They are awesome.  (You have probably already seen these old pictures, but they are too precious not to share again.) :-)



Imagine a house full of babies in diapers. Our babies go through an average of six diapers a day. That is a LOT of diapering! Now, image all those cloth diapers being hand washed and hung on the line every day...365 days a year. We last bought Flip diapers over a year and a half ago. They have held up very well, but considering the volume we go through and the fact that we must hand wash and hang on the line - in the direct sunlight at our high elevation right on the equator - our poor nappies are beginning to show their wear. Plus, God keeps bringing us more tiny newborn babies! Our stretched out Flips still work great for Lizzy and the older babies, but they just aren't quite right for our new little ones.

Now, we are in need of some new sets of Flip diapers. One set of a diapers costs $200. That is 2-3 days worth of diapers for one child and will last for two years. Please consider helping us out with this. If you are willing to donate towards new diapers, please let us know. Or if you know someone who may be interested in helping us in this way, please forward this to them.
