Need Advice on CD's

MissSunny42

I am planning on CDing, but this is my first baby and I do not know the best CD brand. I am looking at Bum Genius, does anyone else use Bum Genius?

I wouldn't say there's a "best" brand.  Different things work better for different babies.  Bum Genius is def one of the more popular.  We use them, along with several other brands, and love them.

There are places where you can do a cloth diaper trial - that might be a good idea for you (I think one place is jilliandrawers or something like that).   We use gdiapers (and like them with gcloth) - they have starter packs for something like $30.

This.  Jillian's Drawers does do a trial.  In general, it's better not to sink a lot of money into one type of CD in case you end up not liking it, or it doesn't work well for your LO.  For example, some babies have a sensitivity to the microsuede used in BGs (this is not a problem for us, and about half our pocket stash is BGs).  Also, you may end up preferring a different diaper system - prefolds, fitteds, or AIOs.  Anyway, maybe get a few BGs and then a few other types of diapers and see what works best for you.
