Diaper Book???

JennieMatt10

I am seriously considering using cloth diapers for LO, or at lease a combination of cloth and disposables. But I am finding it so overwhelming reading about cloth diapers....do many rules, so many types, how to wash, with what, soaking, wet bags?, prefolds, pins (do people still pin diapers?),  liners, doublers, all in ones......ahhhh.....all these terms mean nothing to me!! And it seems every website I go to only really explain the type they're trying to sell...not really a comparison.

So my question for y'all is: Do you ladies know any good cloth diaper books (or non biased websites)? A sort of "cloth diapers for dummies" would be great haha. I really want to raise this baby in the most environmentally friendly that I can, because I have a Univ. degree in Environment, so i feel its my resposibility....but I'm so lost!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIA!

Mothering Magazine has a great article about cloth diapers that you can purchase the pdf for online. I gave that to my DH and it really helped him understand all the different types.

Jilliansdrawers.com, abbyslane.com, and pinstripesandpolkadots.com all have good "intro to cloth" sections. They all sell a big variety of diapers so they go over quite a few kinds. Also, if you order something from greenmountaindiapers.com you can request a booklet that has a lot of good info. I know it seems overwhelming but you will figure it out!
