We did not with our first, but are 9 months in with our second. We wish that we had known how far cloth diapering has come; we would have done it with our first too. We use a combo of covers, prefolds, and pockets. It's wonderful to not be a slave to the disposable diaper monster. You'd think it would be more work to have to do that much more laundry, but it is absolutely liberating.SaraMinervahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205631470256339520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-58622586239130360592010-01-25T16:30:12.543-06:002010-01-25T16:30:12.543-06:00Has anyone thought of using G Diapers with your ow...Has anyone thought of using G Diapers with your own Pre-Folds?...it seems like people like the G Diapers as they are less bulky and a few people say they purchased the Green Mountain pre-folds to go in them...has anyone tried that or have any feedback on it...we have a giftcard to Babies R Us and they have a good selection of G diapers...we were thinking of getting those and then purchasing pre-folds elsewhere...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-66766429172510367862010-01-25T13:18:00.449-06:002010-01-25T13:18:00.449-06:00I think we're going to start with fitteds and ...I think we're going to start with fitteds and covers - then probably move to prefolds and covers.

If you get tired of the Thirsties velcro (that can get annoying in the laundry - i have those exact orange covers!) then give motherease covers a try - they have snaps & work great. Also, painful lesson i learned: you have to use namebrand snappies.<br />i find that AIO's harbour bacteria & are very hard to dry... Prefolds are my favourite. When baby gets old enough that poops are gross, i bought the disposable liners & they save a lot of the gross factor. i wish you had your blueberry diaper bag out of the package so i could check it out. Mine is homemade from a friend, but same idea.paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11879573441359515525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-43057313672523520692010-01-25T10:29:12.887-06:002010-01-25T10:29:12.887-06:00We're going to CD baby #2, for sure.

We are taking it as a sign that we need to look into it! I would love to see your research on the topic! You could e-mail it me if you are willing...I won't be offended if you aren't I am sure that was a lot of work!! Thanks for the blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-10613780517881922242010-01-24T08:44:33.469-06:002010-01-24T08:44:33.469-06:00Kudos for cd! We started researching options just ...Kudos for cd! We started researching options just about 2 weeks before the little guy arrived and it's so overwhelming! we ended up going with the bum genius 3.0 one size and are very happy with them. I have a tip... The diaper pail we have from bru is not super big and I think we have the large pail liner but it probably only holds 10-12 diapers max. Even though we have 20 diapers, we're basically forced to wash the diapers every day. Since you have such a good supply, you may want to look into a bigger diaper pail. good luck!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269387810929774009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-67215977317218230222010-01-24T04:56:06.988-06:002010-01-24T04:56:06.988-06:00I was just checking out your blog and Mark happene...I was just checking out your blog and Mark happened to look over my shoulder.

They get wet through very quickly.<br /><br />I'm surprised at the cost of what Nate wanted -- $25? What the heck was he looking at? :)<br /><br />For overnights, I am a bigger fan of Baby Kicks hemp doublers (from clothdiaperclearance.com), but Little Boy is a heavy wetter overnight. Carlos might not be the same. I do have the ones you have pictured and they work well -- we just needed something more heavy duty. <br /><br />Do you have a diaper pail yet?Ryan and Max's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763260513037637985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-8703090736836993682010-01-23T14:54:32.915-06:002010-01-23T14:54:32.915-06:00My hubby and I are trying to decide whether to clo...My hubby and I are trying to decide whether to cloth diaper, but there is still some part of me that is scared because I just don't know how the process works!

With our little girl, we did disposables (I didn't do my research on the diapering options before she arrived, and only remembered the old yucky version of cloth diapers from when my Mom used them on my little bro almost 20 years ago...things have changed!) Anyway, it's really encouraging to hear your research and reasons for your choices. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to hearing more, and hearing how it works for you in practice come March! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-51588474471548445762010-01-23T11:44:54.299-06:002010-01-23T11:44:54.299-06:00I don't have kids yet, but have pondered the i...I don't have kids yet, but have pondered the idea of cloth diapering when I do. I have not done any research on the subject, so I really know nothing! But I was wondering what you do when you are out with the baby? Will you still use CDs, or use disposable ones? I just can't imagine being out at a restaurant or something like that and having to change the cloth diaper...what would you do with the dirty one? I'm loving these posts on cloth diapering because I'm learning so much!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539589195254206189noreply@blogger.com
