Cloth diapers

displaced kiwi

Anyone use cloth diapers on 2u2?  My little ones will be 20 months apart.  We have 26 BG4 dipes right now. How many extra would you suggest for when the second baby arrives (doing wash every other day)?  I was also pondering looking into cloth trainers and moving DD into those when the new baby arrives, since I image we will start potty training a few months after the second baby arrives. Anyone find any trainers they like?

I CD'd FT for the first 4-6 months of having 2u2, then got tired of changing two kids every 1.5 hours while out of the house so I used sposies for DS (he's a heavy wetter) while out. I had about 45 pocket diapers and some PFs with covers as backup. I did wash every other day though I had enough to go longer, the washing machine coiuldnt hold more than 1.5 days worth of two diapers.

My 2 guys are 18 mos apart and I used cloth.  I had a stash of newborn prefolds and some kissaluvs 0 as well as a few xs BG AIOs that I used when DS #2 was born.  There were only a few months of overlap.  DS #1 was already well on his way to being potty trained.  He was wearing underpants full-time by 21 mos.  My suggestion would be to train your older one so that you don't have to do double diaper duty.  It can be done and life will be so much easier with only 1 in diapers.  DS #2 is almost 21 mos and we switched him to underpants last Friday (except for naps and overnight).  He is well on his way...only had 2 accidents yesterday (day 3 of full-time underpants).
