Answer

This is going to be long, so I'll put the rest in the comments. We've been using cloth diapers exclusively now with our son for 8.5months. It's been soo much fun, addicting and my fiance and I both absolutely love it! It's really not as bad as it may seem. It's literally just an extra load of laundry (the only laundry I actually like doing!).

Even if you're not sure you want to cloth, start with joining the FB group Fluff Love & CD Science. Then while you wait to be approved, browse their website: Fluffloveuniversity.com.  They have tons of great and accurate information on cloth diapering and even the science to back up why certain detegernts or diaper creams are not cloth safe, including how to properly wash cloth diapers (this will be your "make it or break it" so it's super important to have a proper wash routine).

Also, look up Obbsandlala on youtube. Go to her channel and look under the " Playlists" tab. She has an entire playlist dedicated to cloth diapers. She's extremely helpful as well.

It is overwhelming learning everything at first. I thought I would never remember it all, but it's really not that bad. That group seriously helped me and now I have my own friends who cloth diaper come to me all the time for questions and help.

Depending on the style of diaper you choose to use, will depend on how expensive they are. You can buy used from local fb groups or even some website have a gently used section (Kellyscloset, nickisdiapers, cotton babies).

TYPES OF DIAPERS:

Flats/Prefolds and Covers (the insert lays inside the cover, typically can be folded:  Cheapest).

Pocket Diapers (just as it sounds, diapers with a pocket to stuff in the insert. The whole diapers get changed. A tad more than prefolds/covers)

Answer

I love them. I've used them for over 12 years. My favorites are flats and Thirsties covers. So thin, easy to wash and dry and no leaks! I use prefolds at night.

Answer

I love my clothe diapers!!! My husband doesn't lol only because he doesn't like cleaning out the poop. I've had three kids that have puked, peed and pooped on me I am over it. Cleaning them isn't hard once you get past the gross factor. I scrape out as much as I can before rinsing in the sink. I didn't bother buying those sprayers that hooks up to your toilet. 
The best part for me about cloth diapers is that I never have to worry about running out of them and having no money to buy more which has been a problem for the last 6 years. I'm pretty sure I owe my parents over a thousand dollars for all the times I called them crying cause my ex took money from the diaper fund for alcohol and I needed diapers.
In my family as well as in-laws I am the only one who likes clothe diapers, though my mother is still supportive.
My 6 year old loves to change her sister and I find that funny.
I made the switch to clothe because I am pregnant with my fourth and my third will still be in diapers for at least another year after this one is born so this will save us money in the long run. I have to constantly remind my husband of the difference between paying $250 for diapers now versus $4,000 over a babies diaper years. Yea I'm a big picture kind of woman and my husband only sees the cost of a single diaper.

Answer

Sassy bumz are great. Basically an extra load of laundry other than stain treatment and sunning. If you are planning on sending your LO to daycare some places will not let you use cloth.

Answer

Love!!! I currently just found some that fit my 45lb toddler. For him I use per folds abs covers. Not my fav. But cheap and super super easy to wash and dry. And lil to no leaks ever.

But for baby i love my pockets and AIO. For me I use a mix of kawii diaper pockets. They have a larg fit kind of bulky but worth the price. 
Then funcky fluff my all time fav slim fitting never leaked but it's made for slim babies and mine out grew it by 12 months. Then I have AIO AMP diapers and I love them   
I love cloth because my babies can't be in normal diapers. There far to sensitive to them. 
  I had a rough start took me forever to find. Wash routin that worked. My first few months I stripped them bi weekly and almost sold them all. 
 Some times I get annoyed at washing them specially with a new baby. But I do love them and there so worth the work! 
I was told 24 was enough but for me not even cloth for this baby I bought 24 pre folds extra for him. So I wouldn't be so short all the time. Plus I have a toddler in cloth now to.
