Hi, new to this whole CD thing

lalabee0425

My daughter is 18 months and I bit the bullet and I'm in the process of switching to CDs full time. Right now we just do overnight. I was fed up with leaks and after trying every disposable I gave up. I have 3 Rumparooz right now and love them. They are a bit pricey though, and I can't stock with just them.

I am also expecting another baby and want to CD full time from the beginning. I am trying to educate myself in all things cloth, but there is SO much info. 

I'm looking into the trial from Jillian's Drawers. One diaper I would really like to try (after a recommendation) are Kawaii diapers. Anyone have good experience with these? What other brands do they compare to? They are not part of the trial on JD's. I am hoping they compare to one brand they do offer in the trial.

I hope I get a hang of this soon and figure out what to get. There is a lot to learn!

I love my Kawaii. They are very similar to any other pricey pocket diaper but average 6-8$. My favorite is the black one. If you are going to the cheap route, I would suggest Kawaii or snatching up a bunch of seconds Bumgenius when they have the seconds sale.

I agree with above, I got a Kawaii as a free diaper and we love it! I would absolutely buy more if I needed to increase my stash! I will say they seem to be a bit larger than BGs and fit more like thirsties.

I buy most of my CD used off the FSOT section of www.diaperswappers.com and newborn stuff is always in great shape since most don't use it for long. During the newborn phase I use a combo of prefolds/kissaluv size 0 fitteds and covers. They go through like 12 diapers a day and I have 2 in cloth so I don't have enough pockets for that. My DD will be potty learned by the time I'm out of the newborn stuff so we will then switch to our pockets.

We use Bumgenius 4.0s and planet detergent.

I have 4 diapers from kawaii and it did not fit our DD until about 11 pounds and they are still quite bulky. Pre-folds and covers are what we used until she started fitting into one size diapers. She does however have a good fit in Rumparooz.

The green mountain diaper website has so much information on cloth diapers, and if you order anything from them they send you a booklet loaded with info on all things cloth. Very useful. Good luck!
