Should I do cloth diapers? FTM

Question

Hello ladies! I am a FTM 24 weeks pregnant w a little girl! My MIL is really trying to talk me into cloth diapers... I know NOTHING about it and anyone I’ve ever babysat for or family members on my side have never done it either... my MIL told me about a service near by my house that comes and picks up the diapers and launders them for you.. yadda yadda... I just seriously know nothing about it. Can anyone tell me their stories and if it was easier... did you use a service or do you clean them yourself? Seriously just any information will help. Thank you!!!

Answer

You're in a cloth diaper thread so if course we're going to say YES

We never had blows outs, we saved all much money, i personally think it's easier than sposies, and we just washed them ourselves. Super easy. If you're breastfeeding, you can just throw them straight in the wash, no rinsing required! And they're so damn cute not like old school rubber pants anymore!

Answer

I’m a FTM and my mother was adamant that I cloth diaper. I was interested, but had no idea if I was up for it. It’s so freaking easy. Get yourself some all in ones , or pockets. They’re a breeze. My LO has sensitive skin and breaks out when we put her is disposables, also they suck at keeping poop in. She blows disposables out every time. Or leaks. Or both. Ugh. If your breastfeeding don’t bother with a service , just pop them in the washer. All in all just do it !

Answer

SO easy to wash yourself! (I do pockets diapers) and disposable diaper don't keep the poop in! My daughter blows out of every disposable diaper! And she has never blown of her cloth diapers! Also- you can save so much money doing them!! Put them on your baby registry, and other people will buy them for you! And you can reuse them for the next baby (if you want more). I use Mama Koala pocket diapers (found on Amazon) and I absolutely love them! And  does my husband! (Who was against cloth diapers at first)

Answer

If you look on YouTube you will find a lot of useful firsthand info. Skip the product reviews and look for Day in the life or daily routine type videos.

Answer

We’ve cloth diapered for 2.5 years since LO was born. We washed ourselves. Always had some disposables around if needed. It was worth it to us. Any specific questions I can g please answer?
