Since every single person who has commented on my cloth diaper post both on-journal and off has suggested a diaper service, I'll go ahead and respond with a post instead of to each person individually :)

We are looking into it, especially during the month before we move - the laundry room here is coin operated, often too crowded, and just far enough away to be annoying. Laundry has, in the past year and a half, changed from one of my more tolerable chores to a source of never-ending torture. I think I just might go insane trying to do cloth diapers here along with everything else that comes with being a new mother and moving.

When we move, a washing machine is one of my top priorities :)

We're also looking into elimination communication. Sounds like it's at least worth a try. That's unlikely to cut down on the diaper laundry short term, but, if it works, it would in the long run.

(And if you tell me I'm naive or crazy, I'm just not going to listen to you. So there :)

So far so good. Alaric said he's willing to try it with me. So if you want to bug him for updates if I'm not around, go for it. We've decided not to buy any more diapers for Wen or Pull-ups for Pirate. Once the current supply is gone Wen will be sitting on cloth diapers and Pirate will be wearing pantys. You might notice an increase in frustration levels about Pirate in the coming weeks.
