Cloth Diapering
Alva Baby?
Anyone used these before? There's a group in my area purchasing them in a large order to get them at a discounted price, but I have never heard of them (I'm also a FTM and have never used cloth diapers before). Anyone have experience/reviews on these?
Thanks!

I use them. For the price, you can't beat them. In a large co-op like that you will get expedited shipping. If you just order online yourself, I have heard it can take anywhere from 3 weeks + to get your diaper(s).
They were the first cd's I purchased and did so with a large group. We got the for around $3.50/diaper. I have a few bumGenius 4.0's that cost $18/diaper and I seriously can't tell the difference. I also use the bamboo inserts from alva and like those.
I would say buy a few, since they're so cheap, and see what you think.
I haven't had my baby yet... but I just got some in the mail. (It took about 4 weeks, but I only ordered 2... like pp said, bigger orders=faster shipment)
The bamboo one I ordered ($10.00) was so soft! It was like a teddy bear! The other one I ordered was nice too ($6.50). It has hip snaps. It seems to be decent quality, but I can't comment on fit or absorbancy, obviously.
For the price, definitely worth trying... I'm going to try those after my baby is big enough and a few Kawaii's, then see if I want to try something more pricey. If they work, why spend more?
FYI, the wetbags and changepads are also nice!

In their categories, there are "cloth diaper covers" and then the next one down is "cloth diapers." You'll see a bunch of different series. All of those series are pocket diapers, though they may vary in the materials used (some minky, etc.)
And while they're all one-size, I've found that the size can vary, too. For example, I have a D-series diaper that is snapped down as far as it can go in both rise and waist, on my 17 lb 6 month old.
