I'm attempting to CD Baby #3 & I've just started gathering a stash. I know there's a CD board, but I thought it'd be fun/helpful to have weekly CD check ins within our own group. We can ask questions, share pics of our fluff mail, offer advice, mention deals etc. Anyone that's CDing interested?
Re: CD Check Ins?
It's a good idea to register for a couple CD so people know that's the route you're going.
I have some thirsties duo wrap size 2 that I used on DS for a few months. I used them with FST from Target.
On Black Friday I got some rumparooz newborn covers, planet wise size 1 cover, 2 diaper safari covers.
Also have some Rumparooz pockets that I got for $11 each so couldn't pass on the price.
Planning on using newborn size covers and Nickis prefold diapers to start.
I actually have already picked up a few things. I bought 2 Flip covers, 6 newborn prefolds and 6 infant prefolds with 2 snappis for $25 from a local mom! They're all in excellent condition, too. I also picked up a pack of flour sack towels to use as flats when they were on sale at Target last week. I'm pretty sure we'll do mostly prefolds with a handful of fitteds. I'm looking at GMD workhorses for the fitteds, and maybe some bamboo fitteds for overnight.
With DS we started CDing at 8 days old. With this baby, we plan to start at birth in the hospital.

Your GIF made me LOL !
Have you seen the EZPZ Fluff prints? Sooooo cute.
Every shower I've been invited to has some sort of mention of a registry.

I've been busy buying new prints I love, and matching nb/os diapers for adorable photo ops.
Nb I do mostly prefolds and covers, but I have a few lil joeys that are too effing cute.
I have to rebuild my stash and I'm so overwhelmed by all of the options. Listening to how crazy people are about their "wash routine" also blows my mind.
Even now, I'm more of a pocket fan. He's so squirmy and most diaper changes are done while we're running around the house so pockets are easiest.
As for Blueberries, I know there are a few companies that have products MIC but they have their own factories with fair wages, etc. I don't know if Blueberry is one of them but you could look into it.

It really is a learning experience. Some people can buy 24 Bumgenius 4.0s and diaper their baby from the time they fit in them until PT with just those. But others find different options that work at different ages/stages (as was the case for us).

@lavendergrrl I may be the only one (UO) but I love aplix diapers. However, especially if you have a small stash, the aplix tends to wear out after a while. They get curly at the ends after so many washes and I know several naughty toddlers that figured out how to open them. Snaps seem to last longer and are harder for kids to figure out, however, I feel like I get a better fit with aplix - there is more room for adjustment. Its really personal preference. I have both kinds in my stash.
@justinslevo said: "The OCD in me really wanted to buy 24 of all of the same beautiful matching brand diapers, but DON"T DO IT! Some diapers won't work at all for your LO and then some will work better for different situations, ie overnight / when someone else is watching them. "
I literally read this while I had 24 adorable AIOs in my Amazon shopping cart. Good timing, lady. I pared it down to one, and I'll get another in a different brand.
