Artificial Colors, Cloth Diapers, Oh My

Where to start. OMGawd. After reading a few blogs then some research, I have decided I'm gonna give limiting artificial colors in Alex's diet to see if it helps with his behavior problems. I've also decided I want to give cloth diapers a try for Eian. I just have no idea where to start with them. so far it looks like i like the all in one and pocket diapers. But not sure what brand to try. I'm thinking I'm gonna buy one of each of the popular brands and see which i like best.

Any ideas?

I limit artificial colors with Devin and Logan. I have a lot of luck if I buy organic mac and cheese and other snacks...they never have artificial anything.
As far as cloth diapers...haven't tried any, but sometimes I think I should...to be earth friendly and save some money.
(oh...and I totally think you should have another soon! Your boys would love that!)

A lot of companies will send you "kits" in a specific size so you can try out different types and see what you like best! And don't forget Ebay!

You might want to check out some trial from companies like Jillian's Drawers. Check out the reviews on diaperpin.com.

I have a variety of diapers for different needs--prefolds because they are cheap and versatile, pockets for overnight and long naps, AIO's for when we go out and for when my parents watch him, etc.

Also, I wrote a couple of posts on cloth diapers on my blog (check out the tags on the left for "cloth diapers"). (p.s.--I'm doing a Fuzzibunz giveaway for three diapers next week, so stay tuned for that!)
