Jumping over from the May DDC (hey, it's a first babe, it might end up June...) Spent all evening planning my stash. I'm trying to start with an initial stash that will last at least a year. The whole try a few of each kind *will not work* for me, cuz even though I'm all disorganized anyway, I think a half dozen different kinds of diapers would drive me insane.
My plan is 2 doz. each of infant and regular size CPF's, a half dozen hemp flat diapers, 10 kissaluvs contours, 6 kissaluvs fitted--half size 0, half size 1, 4 newborn size bummis covers and 10 in the small size.
We're gonna try EC-ing, so especially for newborn hanging 'round the house time we will probably use prefolds and kissaluvs without covers--the covers will be mostly for on the go.
Also some cloth wipes, a couple snappis, a couple of pins, and some spray lotion stuff (just can't imagine myself keeping up with mixing my own and setting up wipe warmers and such).
I'd love to try wool, but it's too expensive and I'm too lazy!
I bid on some kissaluvs contours on ebay tonight but dropped out when it reached break even point with the package deal on a WAHM site; the ending bid was $61 bucks plus shipping for ten. They retail for about 6 bucks a piece, and every website I've checked has discounts for buying more than a half dozen or so and/or free shipping, so I'm not too excited by ebay. All the other kissaluvs auction were also inching towards retail price.
Anyway, sorry to gate-crash yer DDC, but it seems I'll be putting faith in kissaluvs and CPF's. I know I can handle CPF's, but if anyone has experience with the kissaluvs, esp. the contours, I'd love to know about it. Seems they're a good trim fit and with a snappi would be easy to get on and off fast for EC-ing, and they're not too pricy. I'm figuring the fitted ones for nights and maybe car rides.

and she had the fuzzi bunz for on the go. She uses the prefolds and a wool cover at home for her 2 year old and 3 mo old.
I love getting fluffymail. Holding in my hands. It is so little!
With ds#1, we used sposies. Ds#2 has been cd'd since birth, but we used a service the first two months, so it was only prefolds and our own covers (bummis and wool). So, this babe is the first I've been able to buy my own things for from the get-go. I still have a bunch of infant prefolds from when I started buying my own for ds#2, plus my friend has a dozen or two, so I'm covered there. For "new" purchases, so far all from the TP, I have:
Hmm ... that sounds like a good project to begin!
