There are so many options. I really like fitteds the best for my older son (2 yr). They require a separate cover. I love prefolds and fitteds for my younger son (6 wks). I think my newborn will live in wool pants this winter, as it is so easy to put on the prefold and some pants, and he's good to go. Wool takes the place of a diaper cover because it absorbs a lot but doesn't feel wet, doesn't get stinky easily, etc...
Many, many people like pocket diapers, and I use them, but I get very sick of stuffing the inserts inside, especially since I have to wash diapers almost daily now with 2 kids. Yikes!
For me, fitteds and prefolds have been the most low maintenance, easy to wash, etc. No folding required!
oh - for poops, I'm partial to liners. You can buy flushable ones or fleece ones. The flushable ones catch most of the poop and you just dump it in the toilet and wave good bye. We usually use microfleece liners because I didn't want to ahve to keep buying the other kind. Even with sticky poo, a quick swish in the toilet and the poo just falls off. I never even have to touch anything. Then throw it in the wash and re-use!
You might want to try a few kinds at first so you can get a feel for what you like and what fits your babe. Good luck and keep asking lots of questions!
I have finally figured out that I love Bum Genius AIOs the best. I have tried so many, but these are the best for me. They work the best too, for my kids. I have 2 in diapers!
