A few cloth diaper questions

JDoddsJDodds
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
How many diapers are enough?  Anyone tried the all-in-one style?  I'm not so thrilled about plastic pants if I can avoid it.  I will be a SAHM, so doing laundry every 2-3 days is not a big deal.  Where did you buy yours?  I've been looking at Target, eBay, Amazon, etc and Target seems so over priced for what you're getting.  Recommendations please.  TIA!

    All-in-ones take longer to dry, and I was told (although, I wouldn't know personally), that they don't always clean as easily as some other types. I use pocket diapers.- FuzziBunz One Size. I love them, but others hate them. Most CD moms will tell you to try a few different kinds to see what you like before you stock up. I buy from a local store: www.diapersnaturally.com. I also had a registry with them.

    AIOs are better once baby is bigger. Target is overpriced. I bought mine mostly from Amazon. You need at least 24 dipes. I am not a big fan of prefolds, but those are the cheapest (they just don't fit DS great). I love Kissaluvs size 0 (KL0s) - we use those with Bummis covers (they are not plastic). I just got a Thirsties cover to try too. If you want to go straight to a one-size (OS), I'd recommend Flips - I was skeptical, but they are great! And the covers can be used for any diaper that needs a cover (we use them with the KL0s).

    Also get some reusable wipes and a couple wetbags. If you do go the prefold route, you'll need snappis (not pins) to keep together. HTH!

    I would have 24-30 diapers for a 2-3 day stash. I love all in ones, super easy to put on, but they take forever to dry. My stash for DS is a few AIOs, mostly pockets, some prefolds and covers. I love the Bumgenius diapers. I have both the organic one size AIOs, the sized deluxe AIOs and the pocket 3.0 diapers. I like all of them. I also have Happy Heinys one size pocket diapers and I love those as well.

    I buy mine from www.cottonbabies.com and www.abbyslane.com They both offer free shipping and if you sign up for the newsletter from abbyslane you will get a code for 5% off your order. If you want to do prefolds get them from www.greenmountaindiapers.com and get Thirsties Duo Wraps for covers. Those are the best. You'll also want a pail liner and a wet bag. My favorite brand is Planet Wise and I buy those from www.nickisdiapers.com for free shipping. Check out https://www.theecofriendlyfamily.com/ for more info on CDs.
