I know I want to do CD but am unsure of how it will save money if I keep having to buy bigger sizes as my little one grows? How long before you have to buy bigger??
FTM, but I'm planning on mostly disposables until the one size's fit...Unless I feel comfortable starting to incorporate them beforehand and my baby is big enough.
There are diapers that are sized and others that aren't! If you want to cloth diaper from the beginning you will need a minimum of two sizes-newborn and one size. We did this, with pretty expensive brand, and have already saved money over disposables with just one baby.
We skipped cloth newborn diapers and got one size all in ones. OS diapers grow from about 8# to 30#, so they should be able to stay on your baby until they're potty trained.
We had newborn and OS, a mix of big brands, and we still saved a ton of money with DD1. I sold my newborn stash after DD2, and got most of the money back! Both my girls were 7.5lbs at birth, but gained slowly, so they wore newborn for 2 months each.
My OS stash lasted DD1 til she was out of diapers at 20mo. Then I bought some cloth trainers. I had to replace some elastics for DD2, but I'm mostly diapering her for free-big savings!!
Re: Very confused mama to be here!
I will then be using the one size best bottoms.. They have snaps to help fit correctly as the child.grows
