Good Morning Ladies!

I'm sure that you get this all the time. (Sorry!) I've did a quick scan and didn't see anything immediately. Feel free to just re-direct me if that's easier!

So I'm currently expecting my 3rd. My first two are quite a bit older (age 7 and 5). Since they were little I've definitely become more interested in going green. This time around, I'm interested in cloth diapering but I'm a complete newbie! I'm not due until December so I've got plenty of time to play with.

So my questions.... How do you get started? I know next to nothing about cloth diapers other than that there seem to be a zillion. Good brands? How many do I need to get started?

Is this a real pain? or definitely doable? I'm willing to go to a bit of trouble, but I do have to talk my husband into this.... (Not so interested in going green but he is generally pretty agreeable. So far only the elimination of kleenex in favor of handkerchiefs has been the only sticking point!)

Do you have websites or books to recommend?

Any help would be appreciated!!!! I definitely want to get on this while I feel motivated... You know long before the first 2;30am diaper change! Thanks so much Ladies!

I just started recently too and it is so easy. I find my Charlie Banana diapers only take me a couple seconds longer than my disposables did. I was refered to the cloth diapering 101 videos they were a huge help here's a link to the first one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipMmpJkB8L4.

I didn't cloth diaper my first but we are this one. I am in love with pocket diapers and they take no more time to change than sposies. We wouldn't probably be so into it if we had to do any more work than just stuffing and the extra laundry. Lo likes cloth better too. She is crabbier when she wears disposables. Be careful it is totally addicting. Good luck!

I'm not sure what kind of cloth your going with but I know Targets have Charlie Bananas for 86 ish for a six pack instead of 109 and diapers.com was having a 20% off all diapers including cloth when I bought some a couple days ago the code was GOSHOP I'm not sure if its still active but thought it maybe worth mentioning. I was also told to check out kellyscloset.com and thanksmama.com

Thank you ladies! I'll be around....

I did at least bring it up to my husband, and he didn't shoot me down immediately!!! I'll take that as success so far...
