CD's - AIO vs. Pockets
Hello. I need some help trying to figure out which to get. We decided on Bum Genius. But we haven't figured out which to get. I'm partial to the AIO since they are total convenience..but they are more expensive. She will start daycare at about 7 months. She will be in Day Care 2 days a week, with my mom 2 days a week, and with me one day during the week. Any suggestions on which would work best for our childcare situation?

Re: CD's - AIO vs. Pockets
I am still figuring this all out, but from what I hear, AIOs take longer to dry, which is a bummer.
But, AIOs are probably your best bet for daycare...
I am sure someone more knowledgeable will pop in !
I haven't had my baby yet, so this is all just my theory, lol. If I were going w/ only BG's, I'd probably get some of each.... the pockets you can stuff as needed (if baby needs more absorbency for night/long naps/whatever). The AIOs just seem so easy, and if you can't get things pre-stuffed before heading to daycare, no worries. Soooo, I'd go w/ maybe 1/2 of each? Or buy just a few to try out and see if you love/hate either?
FYI, lots of people don't like the way BG aplix holds up and love others (Blueberries, Haute Pockets.... currently on super cheap sale at clothdiaperclearance.com, etc). May be worth trying a couple of brands.
I wouldn't create a whole stash out of one or the other. I personally wouldn't build a whole stash out of BGs, period. There are SO many different CDs out there and while I do like my BGs (I have 6), there are other diapers I like better. Pocket wise, I prefer my Blueberries, Haute Pockets and KCKs. You just don't want to get stuck with one diaper and then have it not be perfect for your DC, kwim?
I DO hear really good things about the BG organic AIO, but the downside is they won't be sufficient for nights (you can't add any absorbancy) and they take a long time to dry. They would probably be GREAT for daycare though, so I'd definitely get a few if that's what you'd like. I would just consider getting some pockets too b/c I'm sure that would work better for you for nights.
