Your site is great and perfect timing since I am considering cloth diapers. I recieved your submission to post on my site through Blog Carnival where I did a post on my consideration!

Hi, Diana. I would encourage you to look around the site a bit. Try searching “diaper rash” and read through the fitteds/prefolds category. Once you get an idea of a specific question let me know!

Thank you for all your great advise. I had a question about rashes. I have just started experimenting with cloth diapers and used a hemp liner. After about 2 1/2 hours I changed my 7 month old and his lower belly was red like it was starting to break out. Do you use any diaper rash cream with cloth diapers? Another question I have is what about larger sizes? My baby is 23 lbs and some of the diapers are too small for him. I have tried the kissaluvs contoured, the bumgenious AIO and One size. I think so far I like the bumgenious AIO but need some advise about fitteds and prefolds. Thanks for you help!

I had a 9 1/2 & a 10 lber! THEN I had a 6 lber. YIKES NOTHING FIT save the bummis wraps! (thank god Karen at Green Mountain talked me into THOSE) ok so she wore gerber prefolds til she was big enough but WOW never saw a preemie coming! (the simple gerbers, not the stupid ones that don't work)

Sorry I forgot to mention, I have wahm made wool covers! Mostly my fitteds are Motherease or kissaluvs (all at auction) My ai2's are jam tots (they dry great & the minky feels awesome line dried plus they are good for the car) and I have a BUNCH of pockets. Most of my one sizes are blueberry or mommy's touch. I also collect OLDER starbunz (before the crossing pocket thing) and I have a thing for minky, inside the diaper, lol! again line drying. MY boys like the pass through pocket (yep it's empty) but stuffing it drives me batty, just like the starbunz. 1 is too difficult to put in, the other comes out WAAY to easily while stuffing, lol!

I prefer Goodmamas and wool. It's breathable and absorbent, the diapers are cute and as a bonus, the older and more sherpa-like they get, the more absorbent they are. They work great on my 16 month-old son and in another two months, I'll have a new baby to try them on. One of my deciding factors was the one-size feature, I didn't want to risk grabbing the wrong size diaper in the middle of the night. Realistically, I'm not expecting the new baby to go right into GMs, even though my babies tend to weigh in right around 9 pounds at birth (this is my fourth as well), so I will be starting with Cloth-eeze prefolds and wool, and a few Thirsties Duo covers for convenience.

My husband does change diapers, reluctantly. He vastly prefers GMs because he feels they release the poop better. He reaches for them over Blueberry and Dream-eze AIOs. Since I'm on a budget, I generally look for good deals on used through other sites.

hmmm…well, my simple diapers are Bum-Ware extremes, but I think that my daughter has a sensitivity to them…but it's o.k. if I put a liner in them….I'm dying to try the bum-genius organic aios or the organic version of the BWXs….my hubby prefers velcro to snaps…

you aren't the only one! i can think of one diaper that stands out that I LOVED pre-”improvement”, then abandoned when I tried the new version (little luxe organics fitteds). i know many who dislike the new fuzzibunz and fight to find the older version.

my husband has changed less than 20 diapers ever
