Where do I begin?

AMYRENEE27

Hello there,

I have a 15 month old son and I never even thought about cloth diapering. I have a hard enough time changing disposable poopy diapers. Now that I am pregnant with twins and will have 3 children in diapers for a while I am thinking about trying cd due to the cost. It seems that everyone who uses them loves them and swears it is not hard as it seems. Where do I start? Any advice you have will be great. It just seems so overwhelming!

FAQ link at the top of the page.  There are also some in my blog though a few of them might be the same.  That should give you enough reading material for the "where do I start" .  Welcome to the world of CD - it's fun!

My best advice is to get a couple of diapers before making an "investment" in one brand.  Try out a couple to see what you like.  CDing is great...will save you a ton of money....and lots of other benefits!

I'm new to cloth diapering too.  I found the cloth diapering section of https://www.theecofriendlyfamily.com very helpful.  Also, there are several websites that let you try out diapers and if you don't like them you can send them back (within 30 days) and get your money back, www.diaperjunction.com is one of them.

We started when LO hit 10 lbs with 6 used BG 3.0 I got off Craigslist.  We are still expanding our stash, but I couldn't afford to buy all my diapers and everything else for LO before she was born, so we are using a mix of sposies and CD as we increase our stash with the hope to be completely CD by the end of the year.

Maybe try to get some OS diapers for your older child and see how that goes to start and move slowly.  It has really been the best option for my family.
