CD daycare moms - strategy?

  We cd'd DS1, he was at daycare 4 days a week. I kind of had a daycare stash. I did only BG 3.0 and 4.0 pockets at daycare. They were pre-stuffed when I brought them in. I used a wetbag inside a garbage can with a lid. I had aprox 40 diapers, and always left some extra's there, just in care.

   

  I did CD laundry every two days. It was all I knew, because we never used disposables at that time. I didn't think it was hard. When DS2 came around, and I had a slight nervous breakdown, CD's were the first thing to go. I just couldn't handle two kids, two in diapers, a newborn, etc.

   

  Let me know if you have any other questions.

  I make sure to always send in velcro, so it's not a set daycare stash, but the same ones get sent in. I try to send a pile on monday, then check how many they have left when i pick her up at the end of the day and send in more the next day if needed. I send them stuffed. It hasn't been bad, i just have to plan a little ahead.
  due to health laws we need a seperate bag for each dirty diaper, so i send in planetwise bags each day. I also have some small plastic bags that i keep there just in case they run out.

  I use the same diapers for "home" and "daycare". Most of my stash is BumGenius 4.0, and those are the only kind I send to daycare to make it easy on them having them all be the same style.

  I send them to daycare already stuffed and ready to go. I also send a Kanga Wetbag every day for the dirties. https://www.amazon.com/Kanga-Care-Wet-Bag-Amethyst/dp/B005555KXC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374279978&sr=8-1&keywords=kanga+wetbag

  We have about 30 diapers and do diaper wash every 2-3 days.

  I'm not much help because I use a service. We use prefolds and covers. They put the dirties in a wetbag and I dump them in the pail in the evenings. The service picks up the dirties and drops off the clean ones once/week.

  I keep extra snappis and covers at daycare along with disposables JIC.

  I use a small wet bag that has a zippered compartment with a PUL lining for the dirty diapers and a zippered compartment for the clean ones.  I send 5 clean diapers everyday and take home five dirty ones!  They just go into my regular wet bag at home and I wash as normal.  Easy peasy!

  When i was working this is basically what we did. I also left a small pack of disposables in his size just in case he managed to ever go thru all 5 cloth. [this only happened like 2 times] my niece is 3 months younger so when the extra disposables got too small i would just send the extras to my brother for her so they didn't go to waste.

  I send 7 diapers every day, but LO has never gone through them all. He usually goes through 4.
