I am tempted to start CDing. Would it make economic sense for me based on the following?
I have two kids currently in diapers. My DS, who is 3 1/2 and should be potty-trained already, shows no signs of being trained in the near future (he will probably be the only child in kindergarten in a diaper :) ) My little one is almost 17 months old, and again, she will probably not be trained anytime soon. I believe in letting them set their own pace on the training (did this with my oldest child and in the almost two years she has been trained, we have only had two nighttime accidents).
So, currently I spend around $70/month on disposible diapers for the two little ones, but if my son surprises me and trains soon, that will go down to around $45ish/month. How much money would I have to shell out to get enough CDs for two kids (DS and DD currently fit in size 3 pampers cruisers - DS is skinny at about 40.5 inches and maybe 35 pounds and DD is a chunker at 31 inches and 24ish pounds but with meaty thighs). Would they be in the same size CD? They are both healthy pee-pee'ers so if anyone has any suggestions on what type of CDs I should go with, that would be helpful I am very much an idiot on this subject - have never even considered it until now. Oh, by the way, I kind of despise doing laundry.
TIA
