So who's planning to CD? - Page 2

[coyotemist]

We'll be CDing too. I will have to finish school, so the baby will be with someone a couple days a week, so we might do disposable then (depending on the caregivers preference).

I've already started replacing my stash (which I gave away back in October when we decided we were "done") with some used stuff that I'm finding here and there.

We will definitely use cloth nappies (diapers) - Little does she know, my Mum is going to make us some really cute fitted ones. Apparently she made some when we were babes and she loved them!

I am! I cloth diapered my second from 1 month until 20 months, I'm taking a break right now because of my morning sickness but I'll get back into it when it goes away. I've already ordered a Bum Genius extra small all in one for the nurses to put on this little one right after he or she is born and I got 6 newborn proraps off of diaperswappers that are so cute and tiny! I plan to use GMD orange edge prefolds until the baby can fit into small fuzzi bunz which are our absolute favorite.

I would like to CD but I have 3 other kids that have been in disposables. I thought I was going to have to CD my youngest because he had a terrible rash everytime I put on a Disposable. When I thought that I was going to have to I started looking into the CD and they seemed really expensive. And It was kind of a pain when my son was in them for like 4 days. Can you guys give me a hint as to what I was doing wrong and if I was just looking in the wrong place for the CD's. I want to but am very aprehensive.

I have CD'ed all of my children...I would see no reason to stop now

I have had a stash of newborn diapers for a while now. I can't wait to use them! I didn't start cloth with dd until she was over a year old. I can't wait to cloth diaper a newborn. The best part is that my sister can knit and she is already wanting to start making tiny pairs of longies. I told her she needs to wait until at least the 2nd trimester.

We're still CDing my son at 21 months, though he's mostly down to one over-night and one for nap-time and we'll CD this next one too. We have some pockets, fuzzibunz and bumGenius, but still do a lot of prefolds with or without covers. I would like to try wool with this one

[LoveMyJonah]

We CD'd our DS and our next one will be as well. DS is in cloth trainers now. I can't wait to buy newborn fluff!

I think I need a ticker for when I can start buying lol!

[LeaAline]

yeah, we're planning to cloth-diaper. Learning about all the options and where to start. Thinking mostly PF's with wool covers, a few kissaluvs at the beginning, and maybe some AIOs for dh and grandparents.

[Motherto4]

Are wool covers knitted or are they made out of wool fabric? I am busy making a bunch of fitted diapers for my son and finding it difficult to keep his clothes dry with fleece covers. I'm going to make some PUL covers but I jsut want to try everything befor the baby arrives in Dec so that I have enough made for the baby as well.

I got into CDing late in the game -- I've only been doing it for nine months or so, working on figuring out what I like and what does and doesn't work for us. I'm lucky to have found a bunch of local moms who have tons of experience. I'm looking forward to itty bitty newborn diapers!

[Vanessa]

I CD'd ds2 from birth until about two weeks ago when all-day sickness just got the better of me. I'm hoping when I'm out of the first trimester, we can go back. (In a dream world, he'll start using the potty, but I'm not holding my breath. )

With him, I used pre-folds and Bummis or handknit soakers for the earliest days. I'll probably use the same this time. Then I started using FBs when he got bigger. My whole stash is FBs.

I make and sell knit and crochet wool covers. You can also buy wool interlock which is soft and a lot of people cut up old wool sweaters and turn them into covers too! PM me if you want more info!

[terrainthailand]

I'm planning on it... but as this is my first I don't know where to start. In fact I'm so dense on the lingo, I can't even understand this thread!! I guess I have 7 1/2 months to figure it out!!

[meetoo]

I CDed/ECed my last two. I'm sure we will EC to some extent but I have no clue about cloth (did I mention I'm feeling very uncrunchy right now. The thought of all that extra laundry is making me cringe. Of course I'm so tired right now I can barely move I do have a HUGE bin in my basement of all prefolds, joey/ducky bunz, and random other stuffers. So all I really need is a few covers.........

[JoyofBirth]

I have to say that laundry is my least favorite thing to do around here. And we live with a laundry mountain most of the time. I just cannot get out from under it. Diaper laundry, however, is my favorite. So easy. We use mostly prefolds and bummis covers. I have a few fuzzibunz. I put them all in a pail. I don't rinse or shake (unless there's a completely solid poop that will just fall off). Then, I empty the pail into the washer, run a rinse/spin cycle. Then wash on a hot/cold cycle with a tad of detergent. Then throw in the dryer. I have a wicker basket for diapers and one for covers on the changing table. I usually just throw diapers in their basket and covers in theirs. If I'm in the mood, I fold them and stack nicely, if not, I don't. And you can't tell just looking at the changing table. I love how easy it is.
In the newborn stage, we have some kissaluvs size 0, which I like a lot. I also have some re'uzm all-in-ones and some newborn prefolds. After that we have infant prefolds and small bummis, with a few fuzzibunz. I would like more fuzzibunz for the diaper bag, as I really prefer these when out and about, but it's just cause they're a bit more compact. Bummis are really the only covers I like. I think I have some NB proraps and maybe even some wool I'll be looking to part with at some point.
