Thinking of CDing

I am expecting twin boys In June, and am thinking of using cloth diapers. I CD'd my oldest 20 years ago for a few months when diaper pins were still used. I understand CD's have come a long way since then. I don't want to spend too much these will be my last babies.

What do I need to be stocked up on or at least bare minimum to get started. And had anyone tried the Alva diapers?? I see some mixed reviews on the net.

Your input is much appreciated!

Ok, thx! I certainly love the price, and all the colors and prints too! Did you order direct from China, or use a 3rd part to purchase them

I don't use Alvas, but my SIL loves them.

Even an expensive stash is cheaper than disposables.  I have a lot of brand name AIOs and pocket diapers and they will still be about 1/2 of the cost of disposables.

For twins you may not need
