Cloth diaper newbie, need advice please.

posted 23rd Mar
Getting ready to have my third child in June and being a SAHM (with a LO still in diapers) I'm interested in saving money wherever I can so I'm pretty interested in cloth diapering. Does anyone have any good (cheap would also be awesome) sites where you order yours from? I'm interested in the ones that have snaps and that are one size so I don't have to up size as my DD grows. Is it cheaper to buy covers and pads separately? Do they even come that way? Don't mean to sound so clueless, but I've started looking and I'm in desperate need of some guidance lol.   Anything helpful would be appreciated. Thanks much.

If you could provide a site where you buy your fav brand of dipes that would be great.

All of mine are Alva brand. They are a one size pocket and come with an insert. They are cheap and good quality. Plus they have tons of cute prints if your looking for that. Solid color dipes are even cheaper. I absolutely love mine.

Ive also heard good things about Sunbaby diapers. Ive never tried them myself but you could also check them out. Those are the two cheap brands I know of.lol

Um, anything less that 13-19 per dipe is okay by me lol. The first site I was recommended to was Fuzzibunz and the prices were way more than I was thinking.

Do you have a preference when it comes to the kind of insert? I'm seeing bamboo, blend, or microfiber.

We use a NZ brand. Bamboo inserts are the best. they pull the moisture away.

I bought a few from an australian company bambooty, they are slightly pricey about $30 a nappy but are made from all organic materials, are really easy to use and look so cute. If you look into the cheaper ones maybe check what they are made of because when I was researching them I found that a lot were made of polyester and can cause skin irritations

Okay, thanks ladies! I'm doing as much research as I can hoping to get a safe, durable, reasonably priced diaper.

We bought 12 one size snap pocket diapers with 12 blend inserts for $66 and then got the 4-7 day shipping (instead of 30 day free) for 14.99..so like $81

Which site did you go to? I was able to find (haven't ordered yet as I am still looking and comparing diapers) 9 solid color and 1 pattern one size snap pocket dipes with with inserts, plus 10 additional inserts, a wet bag, and a roll of 100 diaper liners for 80 something before shipping on Alvababy.

Mind if I jump in here??
I know tehres a slight difference between AI2 and Pocket - but from waht i've heard alvababy is all pockets....
but they're all listed as AI2....
confused .. lol i'm in the same boat as you OP - getting started on this fir the first time with baby #2 and hoping to save some money - I don tmind a bit of an investment at first... but the cheap ones are even better as long as their good quality!

Jump in all you want! I've been seeking advice from anywhere I can mange to get it. Unfortunately, on another site's forum, many woman had leakage issues with Alvababy. I was also told by multiple mommies that it's not the brand that's "best" but how it fits and works on your baby. I'm currently looking into Kawaii Baby. I haven't heard a lot of feed back but they look the best quality for the price so far. I gotta start somewhere! Lol. I think I'll get s few of a couple brands and test them out. Good luck figuring it out. Let me know if you find any good brand/deals/info. LOL! I'm trying to learn as much about them as I can  . So far the only preference I have is a One Size, pocket, snap dipe.
