I am in desparate need of some advice! I have a 5.5 month old son and we have been cloth diapering since he was 6 weeks. At first I LOVED them and it was smooth sailing. But over the past few months it's been one problem after another and I'm on the verge of giving up cloth and going to disposables, as much as I hate the idea! We use a combo of bumGenius and fuzzibunz. He started wetting through his diapers (nearly every one) and the liners aren't completely wet (sometimes they aren't wet at all). So I tried doubling up on liners...didn't work, then I started using rockin green (did two overnight soaks with it as well) and that didn't work either! I've tried putting my liners in the dryer and letting them hang dry and nothing makes a difference. On top of that, he has been getting some extreme diaper rash when we use cloth diapers. He gets it EVERYWHERE, but it's really bad on the area where the diaper meets his thighs. When we put him in disposables for a week, the diaper rash goes away completely. Our doctor said it's most likely caused by too much moisture sitting there for too long , but I change his diaper ever few hours! He's also a heavier baby (already weighing in at 20 pounds), and has a fairly thick tummy. I've noticed that he's a lot more fussy when he's in cloth and I'm wondering if it's because the diapers are pinching at his tummy when he tries to roll and sit up (and I don't even have the top that tight!). So I don't know what to do...I've researched for countless hours and am feeling so defeated! CDs seemed like such a great idea, but they just haven't been working for us. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Hi there!

I understand that a great deal of choosing diapers depends on how they fit and work for the individual child...which makes buying before the baby comes more confusing. I think I want to work with sized diapers (the bulkiness of one-size diapers on the little ones is a turn off) and am pretty sure I would prefer AIO's over most. With that said, it seems that AIO's are not necessarily the best choice in all situations. So, now I'm trying to put together a newborn "starter kit" I'm definately including some prefolds b/c of their all around versitility, but don't know what else to add to my "kit." I'm not particulatly concerned about price. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I am due in 10 weeks (sex not known) and I’ve been reading up on cloth diapers (your site and others).

I found them on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/monkeez?ref=seller_info Also how many covers do you recommend for a newborn if I'm buying newborn fitteds? And do the covers somehow fold down under the umbilical cord too?? I am preparing for our first, due in 2 months. I sometimes spend hours reading your site each day. I need to stop reading and buy! Thank you! Lisa Hi Autumn,

I think they are an excellent investment. I have a bamboo fitted I haven't used yet. The pockets are nice but I'm not a big fan of the inner bamboo. Poop clings to it when I try to spray it.
