Lots of CDing Questions!

AlphaKat

I know it probably isn't hard to clean cloth diapers when you are dealing only with breastmilk poop. BFing didn't quite work out for us...

1. Are they harder to clean if you FF?

2. How do you keep them from staining?

3. What do you do with the dirty ones when you are out?

4. How many should I buy to start out? Do you recommend prefolds, all-in-ones, or something else...

5. What are your fav brands?

TIA!

1. Not at all, until they start solids it all goes in the wash.

2. The sun works miracles on stains (along with oxyclean).

3. Zip in a wet bag while out, much easier than tracking down a trashcan to throw a disposable away. 

4. Enough for 2-2.5 days.  Check the FAQs on recommendations on styles.

5. Personally, I love my fitteds.  GM, TT, and B4 are some of my favorites!

1. Are they harder to clean if you FF? I think it's the same until you introduce solids.

2. How do you keep them from staining? The only staining issues came when he was ebf. We put them in the sun and all stains came out.

3. What do you do with the dirty ones when you are out? We use a wetbag.

4. How many should I buy to start out? Do you recommend prefolds, all-in-ones, or something else... Probably 24...you could maybe get by with 18 but you'd be tight if you ran late on the laundry.

5. What are your fav brands? I like BottomBumpers and BG Elementals for daycare and out and about and Piddle Poddle and GM for when we are home. You may want to get a diaper trial from Nells Natural Baby or Jillians Drawers to see what works for your LO and then buy a bunch of those.

1.-3. the same as PP

4. Around 24 is comfy but I've seen others get by with 12-18 depending on the age of their child.

5. BG's have worked great as pockets and I've added some hemp and bamboo inserts for night time.  However I'm finding the fitted love (TT, BSRB, B4) as I get more experience, my little girl gets bigger, and I'm managing snaps like a pro.

1. No. You treat them just like EBF poo diapers

2. You don't. You can sun them to get rid of stains, or just accept the fact that diapers stain and no one will see it.

3. Put them in a wet bag

4. See the FAQs
