considering cloth diapering

sheets2be

 I am just looking into this and I have discovered there are so many different brands and inserts, ect. Now I am overwhelmed! I am hoping you ladies can tell me what brand you are using or have tried and what your experience has been. I dont know what to buy, how much to buy, if it really saves money, etc. Can you help me out?? Thanks for your input!!!

Check out the FAQ at the top of this board. Also, there are a series of good You Tube videos that you might find helpful. Both of those should answer most of your questions. Then, if you have more questions, come back and ask!

And your tastes may change over time. The nice thing is, you can resell diapers that are in good condition and recoup some of your money.

I would recommend doing a diaper trial.  Jillian's drawers has one a lot of people recommend.  This will allow you to try a bunch of different kinds and see what you like and what fits your baby.

I love cloth!!  I used diaperpin.com as a resource when I started researching for DD #1, almost 4 years ago.  I use perfect size fuzzibunz as I like sized diapers because they are trimmer and pockets because then I can adjust the absorbency.  DD #1 was sensitive to suedecloth lining so I stuck with fleece linings.  80% of my stash is Fuzzibunz.  I have other off brand diapers that I have for fun prints like OBB and Preston's Pants.  We use come fleece BG one-size for night diapers as I can stuff them so she makes it through the night and I really don't care how big her behind is then.  It can be overwhelming, just figure out what will work for you.  I knew I wanted the ease of a one piece but the flexiblity of a pocket.  I started out by buying a variety of AIOs and pockets and then settled into what I liked.  You can buy used on a variety of sites to try out initially before deciding what the right investment is for you.  I for sure will save money in the end as I am using the same diapers for 2 children and will get some return on resale, initial investment is more.  Also look for deals on different sites, no need to pay full price.
