We've started cloth diapering. I don't know why we were so nervous about it all. It's really been no big deal. Our biggest challenge is knowing when she's wet. Things were easier when there were blue/ yellow stripes to indicate. We're using the gdiaper system. DH made the mistake of putting them on her backwards for a day. Even still they've contained two blowouts and we've even done diaper changes away from home.
I'm a happy first time cloth diaper user.
How is cloth diapering going for all of you?

i can't wait to go 100% to cloth. I'm hoping to get about 5-7 more newborn cloths so that I can really dive in!
I'm following this because we will be CDing when LO is born, after the first gross poopies. I'm so excited to start!

So glad everyone is having a good cloth diaper experience so far! It really is super easy once you get the hang of it!
Looking for advice - FTM here and everything is worrisome!

How is the CD going for first-timers? How long did it take you to get the hang of it?

The first couple changes I was a little sad to not have sposies but now that we are down to a routine I'm happy. We do mainly prefolds and covers right now since I only have about 5 newborn AlOs. One diaper change he kept pooping and peeing and it took six prefolds before he was finally done, and at that moment I was so glad we had finally switched over.

We are also using cloth wipes - just some cheap baby washcloths sprayed with water and a little baby soap.
Are any of you ladies formula feeding or supplementing with formula? Are there any extra steps you are taking to deal with the stickier/stinkier poo?
