I am a first time on me with a 10 month old baby we are cloth diapering for the first time we intend on having more children so were trying to get the hang of it right the first time I bought about 2 dozen China a pocket diapers I also bought 10 alva diapers I tried sewinga my own diapers and liners but that was difficult to do before the baby came not knowing what size to make them our anything about cd.we only cd when at home which is 65 to 75p percent if the time.needing to learn prettier washing methods and striping.
I started cloth diapering when my oldest (now 4) was 2. Now we cloth diaper our youngest (19 months). Almost his entire stash is made up of ones I make (Happy Camper Cloth on FB) since he is my guinea pig lol
Hello I still havent started cloth diapering but I am getting ready to start my cloth diapering journey :) I am really excited im on a tight budget so im making most of my newborn stash myself!
Howdy! I'm currently pregnant and very much wanting to cloth diaper when he gets here in March. At this point I'm just taking in all the information I can to try and have some small semblance of an idea what to do in a few months.
Hi! I'm a SAHM with a 4 year old son. I'm currently pregnant with twin girls, due in February. I'm completely new to CD. I would like to try it this time around, but have no clue about what kind/brand to buy or how to care for CD. Any help would be much appreciated!
Hi all, I am a new mom to a 2 week old who I am cloth diapering. I've learned a lot from this site and from the Ultimate Guide (Thanks Autumn) and so far it is going pretty well, but I already have questions :) So I'm glad to have this forum and other moms with lots of experience to bounce things off of.
Hi, I´m Mayra. I´m brazilian. I have 3 kids (André, Daniel and Laura). My youngest, Laura, is 2 months old and i´m starting to use cloth diapers on her. I´m here to learn with you guys.
Hi, my name is Lena. We will be having our first sprout in about a month and I'm looking into cloth diapers as an affordable, environmentally friendly alternative to disposables. I've spent a lot of time on this website already and bought the guide with the Thanksgiving sale (Thanks!). I feel a little overwhelmed. I hope it's not as hard as it sounds but we are going to give it a go.
Hi, I'm Jaimie. I have a 16 mo, who has been in cloth since she was 3 mos old and now have a 2 mo, also in cloth ;-). We started with pockets, but have used prefolds and fitteds with wool. My fave are my fitteds and wool longies. But i am now in search of a trim option for my 16 mo to wear with her skinny jeans ;-). I just ordered a peacy green ai2 (sized) and a daisy doodle ai2. I can't wait to get them! I hope that one of those will give us a trim and absorbant option for daytime. I love reading reviews on here, it seems like you have tried every diaper and detergent. I've learned so much from this site ;-).

Hi! I'm a mom to 3, 7 yrs, 5 yrs and 6 weeks old. Cd my second one from 3 months to potty trained in bum genius one size (loved! So easy!). Going to put my 3rd in them in another month or so, right now she is in kissaluvs fitted w/ thirsties cover. We have had yeast issues which is why I'm here (plus, need some brushing up). Wondering if I'm supposed to do something special for her covers? Have (hopefully) disinfected diapers, wipes and fleece inserts. I'm teacher by training, although currently staying home.
Hi, Mom to 8.5 month old daughter she pretty much has stayed in 50th percentile for weight.. and is in upper 90's for height... she has pretty chubby thighs and an average tummy. ( working on # 2). We have been cloth diapering since she was 2 months old. We tried pockets-- did not like them at all... We tried AIO's - liked them sorta, liked Bum-Ware the best, but not wild about the one time use thing... she is BF.... Tried Fitteds.. love them for night time but not for day time-- loving on Little fancy Pants right now, and got my first SSBish coming- excited bout that. AI2's are by far my favorite and no AI2 can touch the quality and effectiveness of Ragababe 2-steps. I have yet to find the ultimate cover for fitteds.. and searching for the ultimate newborn AI2 that fits starting at 6lbs.. and maybe a bit more economical than Rags..( my first went through 20 dipes a day and around 10 of those where poopy dipes.. 0 I am married to a wonderful man who is fully on board and can change any cloth dipe. Oh and we have a lovable mini schnauzer who is best buds with our DD.
Hi, I'm Hannah :) My son is now a month old, in between the 3 moves we have had to unfortunately make during his first month has been hard to cloth diaper but I am back at it! I have a very small stock, I need HELP! BAD! I'm so clueless to cloth diapering, this is my first little one. I need suggestions of what types as in AIO's, covers, what works best? What most people like? Types of detergents that work best? Pails? EVERYTHING! HELP! Thanks in advance :D
Hi, my name is Summer. I have 4 kiddos, 13yr old boy, 9yr old girl, and twin 2yr old girls...Just found out #5 is on the way :-O I have never used cloth diapers before but would really like to with this one. Looking for opinions on which ones you ladies prefer. My main selling points will be ease of use and absorbancy effectiveness. Of course cost is important but I wouls rather pay more for something that WORKS! I also work full time outside of the home to ease of use is a MUST! Looking forward to getting lots of info on this site. God Bless
Hi everyone. This will be my first time trying cloth diapers and I have NO CLUE what I'm doing, but excited to try. I have two other kids (14 and 10 years old) that I only used disposables on. I was thinking of using hybrids but now that I've done more research, I'm rethinking and considering renting the newborn diapers. Anyone have guidance?
My name is Jacquie and I have 1 little boy about to turn 1...I'm hoping to add more members to our family sooner then later. Since cloth diapering I've also started making my own rash creams and wipes! It's become kind of an obsession and am very excited to find a cloth community :)
My name is Charlotte. SAHM to Maggie 3.5 years and Natalie 1 year. Cloth diapered Maggie for about 5 minutes, before we realized it was too much of a challenge to not have our own washer and dryer. CD'd Natalie from the beginning until about 9 months until she grew out of the 12 BumGenius diaps that had been donated to us. Looking to get back in to CD'ing with bot girls.
I'm Rachel, 30 years old, married, mother to one 3 month old Bennett.I started cloth diapering him at about 3 weeks old. I have mainly used Gdiaper but have recently purchased a few others. I'm very curious about prefolds and covers...I am completely lost!
I'm Ruth, a Christian, and a joyful 27 year old newlywed of almost a year (June 30) and my wonderful husband and I are expecting our first child in October. I'm fairly new to the world of cloth diapering, and I'm been lurking around the internet to learn as much as I can. I thought this would be a great group to be a part of.
Hi Ladies:-) I am stopping in to say hello! My name is Kerry and hubby and I are expecting our first girl in August. We are planning on using mostly fitteds. I have started building a stash of WAHMs NB aio and pockets. Some thirsties, done THX NB and fitteds, and some BG os. looking forwardto getting to know everyone:-)
I have only used disposables twice since starting CDing. My girls are with my mother during while I'm at work, and she has just switched to the cloth too.
