Hey ladies!
My husband & I are thinking about doing cloth diapers for our baby (due date on Oct 4). Do any of you use or will be using cloth diapers? Which ones do you use? Do you use any local diapering services that will clean them? How did you make the decision to go or NOT go cloth?
Thanks for your help!
Re: Cloth Diapers
We use Do Good Diapers, which is the only service that I know of in the metro. I love them. They very rarely screw up and when they do, they fix it that day. I know that they do offer stripping services for people who own diapers.
Frankly, I hate laundry and don't feel like washing anything else these days. Our normal laundry is enough for me!

I second All Things Diapers in Blaine. And this Saturday they have a Cloth Diaper 101 class. Here is their site:

I know it is a ways up from Eden Prairie, but I really think it is worth it to have someone show you all the options and be able to ask questions. We have cloth diapered both our girls (except for at daycare) and really like it.
Good luck!
Thanks for your info on Do Good Diapers! I've heard of this service before but am not really sure how it works. It sounds like you can do 1 of 2 things; either buy diapers yourself (like Bum Genius or something) and they clean them or get diapers and laundry from them without ever purchasing the diapers??
Thanks!
All Things diapers sounds like a great first step for us! I'll for sure check them out....thank you! We are also going to a cloth diapering class at Amma Parenting Center next week so hopefully we can get more info on this.
Thanks again!
THANKS! I think I missed the 101 class but Ill check online to see if they have another one coming up!
Thank you so much for your help!
I love the trial run idea! Part of our hesitation is that we don't know how much work it is to have a newborn so we hate to sign up for more work when we don't even know how much we are getting into A 2 week trial period is ideal!!
Thanks!
