First day of cloth diapering!

I've already had one mini melt down because, in the moment, I forgot what to do with poopy diapers. All is better now!! Very exciting stuff for me...this is how you can tell I have a newborn. Cloth diaper is exciting... Haha!

Re: First day of cloth diapering!
BFP#1 EDD 11/8/11 - MC @ 9w6d, 4/15/11 we said goodbye
BFP#2 DD arrived 5/7/12
My one size are Bum Genius (she fits!) and Trend Lab (still too big)
I used prefolds with covers... Old school style up till this point. Thirsties diaper covers stuffed with regular old Gerber cotton diapers... You know the kind that most people use as burp cloths? We did disposables for the first two-three weeks. I could not imagine having a newborn for the first time and having to do diapers as well... OMG.
my stash is exclusively OS pockets, I'm amazed that at 3 weeks I already have to adjust the elastics bigger!

What exactly do you do with poopy diapers? I'm not trying to snark, just interested in other people's systems. Both my daughters are in cloth diapers, and as long as they weren't eating solids the poops just went straight into the laundry without being rinsed or anything. Good luck with your cloth diapering, I think it's exciting too!
DS was super skinny too which is why we waited. (that and we had a ton of disposables from gift givers and they were so easy....) My stash consists of bumgenius elementals (aio), fuzzibuns elite one size, and Charlie bananas small size. I just order some pre folds and covers. Very exciting stuff!!
So far he has been through six

By advice from two friends that cloth, I bought Babyganics stain remover. I spray it on and throw it in the pail to be washed on laundry day. Then I'll put them kithara the sun one day a week (another recommendation from a friend). Apparently the sun gets out stains! Good luck to you!

I love CDing! We used sposies at the beginning before her belly button stump fell off but now we are 100% CD (although we do have a pack of disposables for emergencies). We're mostly using prefolds and covers right now, but we have a few random fitteds, some DIY fitteds that I made, and a growing stash of one size pockets (BumGenius, Blueberry, Kawaii, Rumparooz, Alva, and Coolababy) for when she starts daycare. Buying CDs is addictive, I have to remind myself to stop.
Our method is that we just throw dirty diapers into the wetbag. I wash every 3rd day or so and do a pre-rinse, hot wash, then an extra rinse. Working great so far!

Cloth diapers are so much fun! We've gotten compliments on his dinosaur cover at our weekly moms & babies group.
I spray Bac-Out (diluted 4:1) on our poopy diapers, but plenty of people don't and their diapers wash out just fine.
We have prefolds, fitteds, pockets and AIOs. I like variety, and the pockets and AIOs make for quicker diaper changes when we are out running errands. Love the fitteds for how they contain the newborn poop! Also I'm hoping when DH comes home from his latest business trip he can use the pockets and AIOs when it's his turn to change the baby, and see how easy it is!
