So, I'm starting my daughter at an small family daycare next month when I return to work. We exclusively cloth diaper our kid (mix of pre-folds with covers and BG all-in-ones). The daycare is great, and Hubs and I are very happy with our decision to go with this provider. The only downfall is that she declines use of CDs. I plan on CDing evenings and weekends, but we have to get disposables for weekdays with daycare.
I'm looking into the "greenest" (yeah, right) disposable option that's also not outrageously expensive. Anyone have experience with disposables out there that they can share? Cost? Absorbancy/leak experience? Any input is appreciated...
Thanks, ladies!
Re: Disposables at Daycare...
Many girls on the board like Seventh Generation. I haven't tried them, but they aren't too bad price wise. I have used Earth's Best and LOVED them! Never had rash issues. Absorbency was great. No weird chemical smell to them. Soft. Love them. You can usually find coupons for either a lot of the times too. I would try to find whatever is the cheapest and go with that even if you switch back and forth, because I don't know about your day care but ours changes her ever 1.5-2 hours whether she is wet or not. So I hate to think of how much money I throw away and how many unused diapers are going into the landfill...
we've used 7th generation and Earth's Best. I actually prefer the 7g, something about the fit and the tape... there are coupons you can sign up for on their website, or Amazon or Diapers.com are good options if you buy in bulk. They run a bit smaller than the stated weight ranges though, so try before you order a big batch.
That i know of, Tushies are the only brand in the US that don't use the nasty gel inside, but I've never tried them.
Much appreciated on all the tips, everyone! Yes, I definitely plan on showing her the AIOs that we use...hopefully that could show our provider how easy they are. But in the meantime, this is really helpful info, especially on the online sales.
Thanks
