Thinking of switching to CD - help!

sourpatchkids

I am thinking of switching to CDing....it would just be way cheaper. I was interested in g diapers as they have the inserts that you can just flush away. Do any other CDs have inserts like that?

ETA: I'd like CDs that will grow with my LO...all CD recs are greatly appreciated!

Your son is adorable!  If you like the idea of the flushable/disposable inserts I would recommend looking into flip diapers and grovia all in twos.  They both have disposable options, but you can also use cloth inserts which I prefer.  Both of those shells are also one size, so they have snaps that will make them smaller or bigger for your LO.  I like both of those systems a lot.

Most people try a variety of diapers out in the beginning to figure out what they like and what works for their LO.  I bought a ton of different kinds and ending selling the ones that didn't work for us.  G-diapers were not my favorite but you may love them.

You can also do a trial from jillian's drawers or another store.  That is a much cheaper way to try everything out!

Thank you so much! Your LO is quite the cutie as well! I am already researching the diapers you recommended. Thanks again!

If you're going just for the disposable inserts, I don't think they are cheaper than disposable diapers.

Well, right now we purchase day diapers, overnight diapers, and g-diaper inserts to put in the overnight diapers because he was leaking through his diaper every night.

I agree the disposable inserts wouldn't be any cheaper than disposables.

Night time diapering can be a challenge.. if he's peeing through diapers overnight you may want to try fitteds and covers overnight, with hemp. There are a couple of diaper sites that sell overnight diaper solutions, too.

I don't really have any recommendations for disposable inserts since I don't use them. I like pockets, though. We mostly use BumGenius, but it's sort of by chance -- I love Happy Heinys and Blueberries as well. And DD is asleep in a Knickernappies tonight, with a fleece liner since we're battling some rash and I used Triple Paste.

I do second the idea of a trial, though.  It will let you try a variety of things out.

If you want something flush-able and that will grow w/DS I'd check out GroVia or Flips. FWIW, it may not save you much money since you'll have to buy the inserts. My cousin has flips and they use the disposable inserts if they are out for a long time and cloth the rest of the time.
