How much are diapers per week?

I really want to try cloth. ?There is a place that can provide them, clean them & deliver them to my door for $30 a week. ?This is my 1st, is that expensive? ?I live in Brooklyn without a car or laundry in my building so the idea of having them delivered sounds amazing. ?I just don't know if that's a crazy price?

    I think $30 a week is crazy!!!!  You can get 90 disposables for that so it seems like the benefits of cloth aren't really being utilized here to save money.

    I'm going to go back to work but DH works from home so he's going to be Mr. Mom. ?If we do go with cloth we'll still use disposable if we go any where.

    ???

    I agree that that sounds pretty awesome

    I guess it would 100% come down to YOUR budget and if that is affordable for you

    I'm really trying to do cloth as well, unfortuantly a service is not available in my area, but $30 a week doesn't sound bad for my budget especially when the effort involved is almost nill. If it's affordable, and is the best descision for your family than it sounds like a win

    If you can afford it, go for it! If you do not have easy access to laundry and no service, I wouldn't rec cloth. A couple of friends of mine have tried it and the time, effort, and expense of washing pretty much made it not worth it to them. But if you can afford it and the service comes to you, go for it!

    Like the others, I spend probabably $40 a month on diapers. Goes down as the child gets older since they use less diapers - the smaller they are, the more they poop! I shop sales, buy in bulk, and use coupons, so I do well with Pampers. I'd love to do cloth for the enviornmental reasons, but we simply cannot afford it.

    $30 a week would not fit into our budget but I live in the midwest so it is hard to compare cost of living type stuff.  We cloth diaper but I am a SAHM and do my own.  We spent $300 up front but have spent nothing else since then on diapers.  Our detergent was $40 and is included in the $300 above but it lasted us the entire year and we used it for all of our laundry (diapers, baby, and ours) and I just bought a new bottle so I found that saved me money too.  We have HE washers so we haven't spent too much extra on water or electricity either.  It has been a great choice for us and we love CDing so if $30 fits into your budget and it is what you want to do, go for it!
