2nd Trimester

my advice for those who want to CD.

Cloth diapers will make your child's clothes fit differently because they're bigger than disposables.  I have learned which onsie brands work and don't work. 

GERBERs suck.  They're cute and perfect with sposies, but honestly they just don't work with CD's (IMO). Bright has already outgrown 3-6 month onsies because they're just not long enough to snap over the diapers.

However carters and Tykes (a division of carters) are amazing! They're so long Bright could still be wearing 0-3 month ones!  Plus we double stuff him overnight and so then we REALLY need longer onsies.  

So that's my advice!

Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

Re: my advice for those who want to CD.

  • Thanks for the info! What brand cloth diapers are you using? I'm still researching and could use some first hand input.

    Bright is too cute!!

     

  • Thanks for the advice! I'd be warned away from Gerber b/c I've heard people complain that they shrink, but I honestly hadn't thought about the CD-ing part of the equation.?

  • thank you for the advice...I had asked this on the EFF board this weekend.  I was told for the most part newborn size won't fit my baby if I cloth diaper (which I plan on doing)

    I have a lot of hand me down clothes and I'm happy to know that most of it is Carters!

  • Good to know - thanks!

  • Thanks for the advice, because i bought a ton of the organic gerber onesies!
  • Ditto!   VERY good point.  DD is SOOO skinny (17.5 lbs at 12 months!) but has a big old CD butt.  It works out to our advantage b/c she is super long, so the CD's actually hold her pants up, but if you have a more average size or chunky baby, you'll have to really shop around!

    I just bought a few of these on the weekend. I love them so far (and I haven't even had the baby yet)! I've researched CDs and they seem to be the best by far (so far)...
