I haven’t tried them. With the hemp they’ll be a bit more absorbent than the all sherpa.

I love your blog. It is a major source of sanity for those trying to figure out the CD world. I have a question about kissaluvs. You talk a lot about how great kissaluvs size 0 are. I was wondering if the all natural kissaluvs fitteds are just as good.

Kim, Softbums would be a great system for more than one child and they fit newborns. I use the Flip system but not sure they’d fit well on a baby under 12lbs.

It is worth it! Prefolds and covers are similar to an AI2 system also are more cost effective.

I am expecting twins and this will be my first CD experience. As many have mentioned it is overwhelming the different types, brands and options of products. I have looked at your recommendations for newborns but am wondering if you can make a recommendation based on what I think the type of diaper I am wanting. I think an AI2 would be best for me. Since I will have twins I think I will need the option of using the cover more than once so I don’t spend my day doing laundry. However, it seems that the newborn covers you are recommending are not AI2′s. Please help!! I want to CD but am so overwhelmed at this point I am beginning to wonder if it is worth it.

Can you please explain exactly what happens when you take the soiled diaper off of:

a newborn with bf poo or pee

older child with semi solid poo

toddler?

Like do you take it off then rinse them out then put in pail or have a wet pail system? What do I do for daycare? Would you recommend this to me my whole stash: Flips, Soft Bums & Grobaby, if yes how many of each should I have on hand with a newborn & to do laundry like every 2-3 days? Thanks a million!!!!

I believe the prefolds I mentioned in that post were the green edged GMDs. Green Mountain Diapers no longer makes them but they were too big for a newborn in my opinion. I used them a couple of times when Sterling reached ~12lbs but I still had to fold down the front and back. I found the prefolds on ebay at the granitesmith store to be a great price when I had limited funds in 2005 and starting cloth diapers. You can find information on them here: http://allaboutclothdiapers.com/how-to-start-cloth-diapering-on-a-budget/ I still have those prefolds and they are in great shape (albeit we don’t use them often).

Hey Autumn,

I love your site. I am preparing for baby #2 and I want to CD from day one as last time I had to wait 3 months before my petite little girl fit into her prefolds. I live in Commonwealth of Dominica and spending $15 on just one fitted diaper is out of the question when considering the exchange rate plus the extra cost of shipping and customs duty! So I am thinking of ordering some preemie and newborn prefolds. I’d love to hear more about your experiences with the prefolds that you said you bought. Thanks for all the excellent information… onelove
