1. Id like to only have to wash when we wash our regular clothes, is this possible?

2.  And is the poopy toilet sprayer and all that jazz necessary? Do you really need the poop bacteria spray etc. I mean with all the extra stuff its like you might as well just buy disposables! 

3. Which ones are adjustable and will last until its time for potty training? 

4. Which brand(s) would you recommend??? 

5. How many should I buy... considering I dont want to have to run to the washer every 3-4 days.  Or invest in more later on.

We use Kawaiis. They're super cheap, and they work really well for us! I have a few other brands but these are my faves and I grab them first every time. I got some bamboo inserts to make them more trim, but still use the MF for overnight.

I agree with much of the previous advice given.

We have 24 Alva pockets, 24 size one Osocozy prefolds, and 6 thirsties duo wraps. I love the Alvas; they cost about five dollars each, and work every bit as well as the 20 plus dollar brands tha

-I wash every other day to keep down on stink and stains.  I wouldn't go longer than every 3 days personally, but I have heard of some people wa
