Cloth Diapers?

Question

Hi mommas! Anyone out there who has used cloth diapers with their babes? It’s something my partner and I are looking into since I will be staying home with our baby girl and I just wanted some advice on cloth diapering. Any brand suggestions? Cleaning advice? Any tips really lmao!

Answer

There is a group for cloth diapers that may be able to answer some questions.  We are going to use the kawaii brand. Just because something is cheap does not make it worse than the expensive ones. There are alot of websites that have a ton of information on many many brands. They will go in depth on everything. I spent hours researching about 10 brands. Wrote everything down I liked about them, if the website had comments I went through every comment and tallied what people liked better and of they had a better suggestion to where to get the brand I wanted and or what they liked better (AI1,AI2...). A better fit for a girl, was able to stay dry longer and so on.I did more research then I did for school.

Answer

I did with my son until 15 months. 
I bought green mountain diaper prefolds secondhand from Facebook groups and cloth diaper forums. I used thirsties covers with snaps instead of Velcro, just my preference. Also bought those second hand. I used wipes that I bought in a pack of 12 on amazon and also the cheap baby washcloths you can buy like $7 for two dozen at Ross. I had 24 prefolds and 6 or 7 covers to make it through a day or two before doing laundry. I used a new diaper pail with a cloth diaper waterproof bag from target. 
Wash routine was cover with just enough water to cover all diapers, first wash with a small amount of soap + hot water + “low soil” cycle, followed by a regular amount of soap + hot water + heavy soil cycle. Hang the covers to dry and put the diapers and wipes in the dryer.

We use cloth! We have since birth. Our son is 2 now and we’ll use them for our new baby coming in March. We use the bumgenius and Charlie banana brands. We have a cheaper brand one and it is not nearly as soft or absorbent as the others. The CB fit better under clothes because they’re a little less bulky, but the BG work better IMO.

Answer

I cloth diapered! There are so many options, but pocket diapers made the most sense for me. They're not complicated and other people like my mom and MIL had no problem using them since they go on with no extra steps than a disposable diaper. 
I used the imagine baby brand with my son and they held up decently for about 18 months with a small stash of ~20 diapers. I did have a few bum genius diapers that I got as gifts that held up better than the other brand, but they're 2x the price, so I would expect them to last longer. 
Make sure you know what type of water you have (hard vs soft) so you can wash them the right way and they dont get stinky.

Answer

We havent had our little girl yet but are planning on using cloth as soon as her cord falls out! We love the all in one styles and are hoping to get into a rhythm fairly quick! Amazon has some sets of cloth diapers that are fairly inexpensive (6 for ~$30)

Answer

I haven't had my baby yet but I plan on cloth diapering. I did a lot of research and I developed a plan and cleaning routine that I think will work for me and my circumstances. 
The biggest things I found that I'm excited to use are 1. An Enzyme Spray that eats the bacteria(if you are out running around and cant rinse your diaper right away) and also fights the odor. 2. A diaper sprayer that attaches to the toilet to make cleanup before wash easier. 3. Wet bags!! Wet bags hold wet items but also do not leak odor. 
Do plenty of research on different mommas styles and routines and find one you like or make your own like me!!

Answer

Etsy has great cloth diapers and cute designs! If you're into that.
