Wahoo. Not sure what our break even point would be. We've used them part time for almost 8 months now!

ha! I love that you figured this out. I will pretend that your stats just automatically work for me and celebrate too. Wait, but then I just spent a hundred bucks on new overnight diapers. REcalculation thanks to my heavy wetter (and they better work!!)

congrats

How old is your baby?

We would break even if I would stop buying cute cloth! Lol

@pastemoo: ha. love the cartoon. I feel like that! As my IRL friend says: cloth diapers are supposed to save money, except that they are like Pokemon cards, so once you get started, you want to collect them all.

As for my calculations, thanks for the offer, but I am too lazy to go back and figure out how much it all costed. I bought them at such different times, like Boxing Week sales and such. I know the newborns were a splurge, but I only used baby gift money for those, so does that even count? And then for the detergent, we switched to Rockin Green for ALL of our clothes, so hard to remove that price. We are on well-water, so water is free, but I did wonder about the electricity, but now after a few bills, it seems it hasn't really changed much...a bit more because I do the wash and have our lights on and heat/cool the house more during the day (when the electricity costs more). Baby 2 *should* be free, but I already have plans to buy more NB diapers when that happens, since I bought the bare-minimum number and had to wash them daily. Oh cloth!

PS. One night in and I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Wolleybottoms.

@pastemoo: Congrats on breaking even!

I love the cartoon.

I've spent a lot on mine, but I figure that disposables are what, 40$ a month? I've certainly spent less than 500$ on my cloth, and I'm totally set up for a future child, or reselling them. I think we've long since broken even.

I'm way too lazy to do the math, so I don't know if we've broken even yet...we went through two packs of disposables the first two weeks, and he's been in AIO OS since then (he's about 12 weeks old). We spent about $250 on 18 diapers and then MIL gifted us another 6. I'm washing an almost entire load of them pretty much every day....little dude pees a lot and can't stand sitting in a wet diaper.

@FutureMrsMcK: You might want to try stay-dry liners?

@pastemoo: I buy the chlorine free diapers, so it'd be more like $40 for sure. But even at $20 monthly, I'll probably break even by year two, just for this kid.

And you know what? I'd do it even if not for the money. I love cloth diapering. I hate the thought of all those diapers sitting in a landfill.

I don't think I'll ever break even...I'm addicted to buying diapers, lol. I've actually been selling them lately because I have too many, haha.
