Making the switch and need help!

N.M.M

I sat down yesterday and counted how many diapers dd has gone through so far since shes halfway through her first year and im still in shock that its at least been 600 diapers thats crazy. I wanted to start off with cloth diapers but dh refused but im a sahm so he dosent change her much so who cares what he thinks im doing it!

You should check out the FAQs at the top of this board. I think it will give you a better idea of the different types of diapers available. The ones you saw at Target are probably Gerber prefolds, which are not any good for actually diapering. I like to buy my diapers from kellyscloset.com, jackbenatural.com, and cottonbabies.com. We started out with prefolds and covers, but quickly switched over to pockets when we realized how often DS pees and how sensitive he is to the wetness. Our favorites are Bumgenius and Kawaiis. Good luck!!

I don't know what brands Target carries, but if they're by Gerber I'd steer clear like pp said!  BRU sells gDiapers, but those also seem to get pretty mixed reviews.  For the big brands like BumGenius I like to shop at Kelly's Closet, Jillian's Drawers, Abby's Lane or Nicki's Diapers.  We prefer pocket diapers which have a waterproof cover that you stuff with absorbant inserts.  Once stuffed they basically function exactly like a disposable.  Very dad/sitter/daycare friendly!

YOu can also try googling 'your city name cloth diapers' to see if any stores near you sell cloth. (Or go to one of the big manufacturers websites and look at their retail locations (FuzziBunz and BumGenius are generally good for that).

I think Target may have gdiapers, but they're only ok. Mine have all been bought from online retailers, consignment stores or our local cloth diaper store.
