That's probably why I did just buy 7 diapers when I'm not even out of the first trimester lol with bst groups you can only get what's being sold and i have an irrational fear that all the organic cotton fitteds will fade into oblivion before I can put them on a baby butt.
@professormama I used to use BG pockets, fuzzibunz too, you're definitely right about them being super customizable, I know a lot of people don't waste money on newborn sizes but I've never had good luck slimming down OS diapers adequately for my peace of mind, so paper for the first while is super smart. I just like knowing my fresh squish is in soft organic fabric I'm most likely going to do a mix of cloth and 7thGen sposies!
@sheepshepherdess it's fine during pregnancy. Its actually recommended since its easier to develop gum disease when pregnant, just make sure you let your dentist and hygienist know that you're pregnant because they probably won't want to do x-rays or fluoride treatment.

@kaleesi93 we used honest co paper, which I loved. We weren’t super strict about cloth. We did about half and half. Like if I knew he was going to poop, I’d throw on a paper in a heartbeat. Lol. Plus later when he started daycare, they only wanted paper. But I’m definitely using my cloths at least part time again with #2.
@kaleesi93 I’ve got newborn and small fitteds because DD was tiny foreverrrrr. My bestie only got small because she had a giant. More reason for most people to wait on buying until they know a bit more about what they’re dealing with!
@professormama half and half seems a great balance!! I'm going to definitely try Honest company diapers too now! I hear good things! @lyse01 that's solid! I'm not getting any scans done or finding out the gender so I'm definitely not going to go crazy with gender specific colors and if I make big babies that can't fit into Rearz I'll just pass them onto another mama in need I'm not worried about wasting the money!
@kaleesi93 yes to being relaxed! You’ll figure out a balance that works for you. Also, I’m sure you know this, but you can register for cloth diapers too. That’s actually what I did. Didn’t purchase any myself or second hand (used just bothered me a little). My MIL laughed at the shower and made a snarky comment about how she’d believe it when she saw it Re her son changing cloth diapers.

Ugh it cut off half my comment. The rest was that my husband loves cloth even more than I do! Just don’t get caught up in the cute prints - you can spend a million dollars that way. I found that about 18 was a good sized stash for us.
Thank you @professormama, that was so sweet! I appreciate the support so much! I can't believe your MIL would say that ugh, what's wrong with some women anyways? Everyone used to be cloth diapered anyways lol. I'm glad your husband was so wonderful and supportive! The print game is insane isnt it haha We have fabric groups and stockings on facebook with mad racing to get a diaper in every color print! Not me! I like soft colors and whites and thankfully they're not that popular. A register is actually something I never thought about but that's a really good idea! I don't really want older baby used diapers because its kinda iffy but so many moms buy newborn diapers and don't use them so I'm stalking those kind of listings
