I'm on Cloth Diaper Overload!!!!

I have been researching and reading old blogs about Cloth Diapers. My question is to the ladies who cloth diaper, What brand has been your favorite for your new born/ infant? That's all, just the brand you LOVE!

It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.

FYI - I just discovered that you can RENT newborn diapers. Genius!!! Especially since your babe will only be in them for a few months.
As she got older and we tried other diapers, my favorite combo for around the house was a Workhorse with a homemade fleece soaker. For out-and-about, DH liked Bum Genius 4.0's and I liked a prefold or flat, folded into a cover (mainly Econobum or Bummi's Super Whisper Wrap as she got bigger).
For nighttime our best solution was a fitted (Pooters at $16 each or Old School Cool at $27 each - yikes) under a fleece soaker or wool longies.

Kawaii PnNs were fine, but huge and bulky on a NB. We used them for ON, and by the time they were unbulky enough for daytime, she was fitting into some OS, as well.
While BF DD as a NB, I read back through the CD board as far as it would let me go. True story. Learned everything I've needed to know.
Side note: I have a handful of BG aplix that are busted. I replaced the waist tabs using the kit they provide, but some of the front loop strips are bald. Has anyone replaced those? I asked on the CD board & got crickets.
When DS1 was little, we started with a lot of pockets and AIOs because that's what we were comfortable using. Now that he's a toddler and we're more versed in cloth, we use prefolds/covers at home, pockets/AIOs for daycare, and fitteds with wool covers at night.
If you want to get into the fitted world, I highly recommend Twinkie Tush. They're highly absorbent (and adorable) and the owners are wonderful people who have started and grown their business locally (US manufacture) and are very active in the community.

I've only had the new aplix for a few weeks, but so far I would say yes. Even our cover with the old aplix is great. We've had problems with our aplix BGs (resulting in the "no playing naked in the front window" rule being broken) but she's never been able to get a Thirsties off yet. It's pretty tough stuff and probably requires as much fine motor skills as unsnapping snaps.

Now that she's older she is in mostly BumGenius 4.0 pockets and BumGenius Freetimes for night. She is still a heavy wetter, so we don't use the microfiber inserts that come with the diapers, but rather we use a cotton flat that is pad-folded and inserted into the pocket. Very absorbent!
