Cloth Diapering

Easiest CDs for other people

Hello!  I am here for the 1st time, even though I am pregnant with #3.  With my first two, they were in full-time daycare and CDing was not an option.  With #3, my family is going to help with daycare 2-3 days a week and I've gone part-time at work.  I really want to CD, but my family isn't 100% supportive so I would like for it to be fairly easy for them the few times a week they are helping.  What, in your experience, is the "easiest" cloth diapers?  I can use different ones the other 4-5 days when I have the kids. 

 Thanks for any advice.

  • No one has an any problem with my aplix pockets. I prestuff them. It's just like changing a disposable, really. Grandmas both do it, daycare says she will too.
  • When we have a sitter, we leave them already stuffed pocket diapers. Kawaii or BumGenius 4.0's. I just have them put the dirty diaper in a plastic grocery bag and tie a knot in the bag. Then I'll take care of any dirty diapers when I get home. 

     I have one teenage sitter who is great and will clean and take apart any diapers that she changes and put them in the dirty pail but everyone else (my family) just bags the diaper for me.

  • Aplix pockets.  Blueberry or BG work are what we use for Grandma and day care.

  • AIOs or Pockets that you prestuff are just a simple take off, put on!

  • Aplix pockets.  We have mostly BG diapers.  Grandparents haven't had any trouble and our daycare is completely fine with using them too.

  • Pre-stuffed Kawaii pockets haven't been a problem for anyone.  If they prefer not to take them apart I just ask them to leave the diaper and I take care of it when I get home.

  • We have a couple justsimplybaby pockets for special occassions, and I find they're easier to put on than the flips.  DH doesn't like the snaps, but I imagine the velcro would be easiest for people to put on (we don't have velcro because I hate how they stick to everything in the wash).  I don't think the brand matters so much as long as it's one that fits the baby well, but a prestuffed pocket diaper would be easiest for other people.  AIOs would be #2, and fitteds with covers would be #3.  Prefolds and covers are the most involved, but funny enough DH prefers them over the pockets because it's easier to tell when DS is wet.
