Took the plunge......to cloth diapers

That's great. What made you do the switch? I know they're very eco-friendly and I've heard money saving too.

That's awesome that you are liking them. I have been really thinking of switching my daughter to cloth. I didn't realize how good they were and how much they have improved. I know it's a little late now since she is 21 months old. But I would like to use them just to get her through potty training. Since I've been buying pull ups I've realized how expensive they are. Cloth would save me a ton of money and be better for my daughters skin.

How old is your baby? Does she sit up by herself? If she can sit up by herself why not put her on a potty chair and save an extra diaper. You could be one step up for when she gets ready to be potty trained if She is this regular your job is half done. Take advantage of it girl.

Cloth nappies are great, I used them and they are not hard work, I think that they are brilliant and not expensive at all..

YIPPEE!!!! Good for you!! Really, no sarcasm! I am thrilled to hear that your cloth diapering. Its a huge step to make and its so much better for the environment. I wish that more people would do it. Honestly, I actually wish that disposable stuff was outlawed. Our society has become too lazy and everything is throw away. Its so much better to just throw a few diapers in the washing machine every other day. Congrats on taking the big step and I hope that you feel comfortable sticking with it.....its a wonderful thing!!

I loved cloth nappies, although i was opposite to you, i used them all day with 1 disposable over night! You can also keep using cloth nappies when you know there will be a poop because all you have to do is buy some liners :) The liners will line the nappy, then when she has finished pooping, you just lift the liner out & throw it away! They're definitely more eco-friendly but they have discovered the costs are about the same between cloth & disposable - only because of the initial cloth costs are pretty high, plus you use soakers, washing powder, water & stuff like that but they are great to use. You can also get the fitted cloth nappies, they go on like a disposable (the side flaps attaching at the front, no pins needed) yet you can was & re-use them & many don't need the pilchers (plastic covers) coz they're already made waterproof! Those ones are VERY handy & super easy to use!

i was so glad to see your post. i'm a strong advocate for cloth diapering. i make the AIO (all in one) diapers that someone else mentioned that are the fitted ones with the waterproof layer attached. they truely do work just like a disposable diaper. i'm under the impression that you bought prefold diapers which are the ones you fold up and can use pins, a snappi, or just fold into the cover. did you get your diapers online or at a place like walmart? the diapers at walmart are not as absorbent as the ones you can get online so if you ever get into a situation where you feel your diapers just aren't working as well as they used to then please message me and i will help you through the rough spot :)

I hope cloth works out for you. I've heard it ends up being much cheaper. I hope to try it some when I have kids.:)

My mom used cloth diapers on my little brother for a while when he was born. I remember having to help her wash out the nasty diapers. Since the, I dont think I have seen another kid in cloth-- or maybe I didn't pay any attention. I wouldn't use them for my son, only because I deal with enough already with his medical issues. I really dont think I can handle anymore stress or work.
