I'm new to the group, I have been thinking of cloth diapering but I am not completely sold on it yet. I really like the idea of it but I. Not sure how I will handle it once I have a newborn and a 3.5 year old running around along with a husband and the regular stuff that goes with a busy household. I have done some research and I really seem to like the bum genius 4.0 and their Flip, ut having a friend who has/is cloth diapering she had warned me not to stick all my eggs in the bum genius basket. What are some of your favorites? What detergent do you use? How often do you wash? How many diapers are in your stash? Do you use differ ones overnight? Are OS really OS? I need all the ins and outs lol! Thanks ladies!!

your friend is right! try lots of different styles and makers to find what you like best. I use Squishy Butt diapers, I wash with Country Save , I dont have a bunch of diapers but I just had to de-stash a bunch. I use same diapers overnight, and wool shorts over the diapers once they are big enough to sleep all night. Amelia still wakes so often that I change her before she leaks.

This thread is stilll quiet because it is waiting for the other one to fill up before we all move over here

Volume 3 is fullllllllll!

So uh...cloth diapers.

Anyone think that putting shorts over our PUL diapers would help the rash my kid gets on her thighs? She's in PUL maybe 6 hours total (broken up into 1-2 hour increments) a day. But every time she gets red thighs   I don't have enough pf/flats/fitteds for her to use for 1.5 days.

I have like, 3 or 4 prefolds you can have ffs. Washed, never worn. Fiona plays with them occasionally with her dolls though, so I'm sure they'll need to be washed again, lol.

So far I only tried with long shorts that are extremely ugly, but it helped lol. Maybe cute shorter shorts will heeeelp!

Does she have any stretchy pants that are getting to short but still fit good in the waist?
Chop them bitches up!
That's what I did for Fiona for shorts this summer, she's soooooo skinny so she still has a lot of room to grow in her adjustable waist jeans (and regular stretchy pants) but she keeps getting taller. So I chopped them all up, now she has a nice variety of capris and shorts.

so I'm getting cart ready for next week when I buy our first cloth diapers. I have 6 in the cart. I really don't want to many since I'm still unsure its going to work out and I have massive pampers since we buy in bulk so I figure I can cloth during the day to see if I like it or not.

6 okay to start with?

and I'm ordering alva diapers. I was told they are all pocket even if they say something different but I saw a picture of one shiny inside so does that mean its not a pocket?

I've never seen an Alva that wasn't a pocket. Do you have a link to the shiny inside?

If they are shiny inside, then yes, they are covers and not pockets.
