Any advice? Here we have Robyna's, locally made pocket diapers, and someone who imports Mother-ease and some others. I have been using some contour by Impse Dimpse and some Fuzzy Buns covers but the Fuzzy Buns size small are already too small and snug it seems on my 14 lb. almost 4 month old baby. They seem to be made for less chunky type kids. Since I live overseas and all this shipping is expensive I hesitate to mess around with covers. If you have a chunky infant please recommend a cover for that type of body. Hi all,

It really shows how much you save in the long run! http://www.diaperpin.com/calculator/calculator.asp Here are a couple other things I did to save money: 1) Get old t-shirts and cut them up to use for wipes 2) You can easily sew wool diaper covers from an old wool sweater 3) Children's consignment shops often have used prefolds and you don't have to worry about washing them 10 times before use! 4) There are many shops on Etsy that sell diapers for cheaper than name brands Good Luck!

We bought the Basic Diaper Package from ClothDiaper.com for $146.95. It included: 3 dozen infant 4x8x4 prefolds, 2 dozen premium 4x8x4 prefolds 8 Bummi Super Whisper Wraps (4 small, 4 medium). a roll of Bioflush Disposable Liners I sold the Whisper Wraps on Diaperswappers and bought Thirsties Covers. If I were to do it again now, I would buy Blueberry Coveralls. Three is enough covers at first, I just handwashed them in between loads and hung to dry in the shower. And I bought the same trash can you recommend, a Swaddlebees Pail Liner, and four Snappi fasteners. I use cotton receiving blankets cut into roughly 5" squares for wipes. Grand Total: under $200 for EVERYTHING I need to diaper my kid so far. She's currently 14 months old, and 23 lbs and 30 inches tall, and still hasn't outgrown the premium diapers. I've since added another pail liner, and a yard of fleece cut into 5x13" strips as diaper liners and we use the occasional washcloth as a diaper doubler.
