What size is it? I'm kind of in between sling sizes, because of my height and tiny chest. I looked at hotslings last night though and they look super nice.

Karen,

I'm part of a cloth diaper forum on babyfit.com. Those women are full of opinions on the matter, so when I come across a cloth diaper that I think sounds good, I ask them what their experiences have been and someone always has something helpful to share.

I just got 21 Fuzi Bunzs (normally a $19.95 diaper) off of Craigslist, barely used for $200 total. Plus, don't forget that the Dixie Highway yard sale starts on Friday (from Ringgold to Marietta) on Hwy 41.

"ort through what little baby boy clothes I have and take inventory of what I need" - when that baby boy outgrows those clothes you might want to look into a baby clothes quilt kit - it's a great keepsake and a perfect gift.
