We are moving in 3 weeks to a city with a diaper service! I think this has solved my problem (I posted here before... I was gung-ho CD when DS was born, horrible diaper yeast and staining medicine sent me to disposables, which I hated, and I've been looking to come "back to the fold", but not sure how to do it without lots of start up cash and being totally inexperienced! You all suggested regular straight forward cloth diapers! Thanks!

). Well, with a diaper service- now no laundry, I can use creams or medicines if I need/want, they pick up and deliver, they are clean/sanitary, ecologically sound (even in their laundering process!), no big start up cash, and cheaper month by month than 'sposies! HOORAY! I signed up! So- out there to you moms... Do any of you use a diaper service and is there anything I should know or look out for? I also need to get some of those over the cloth diaper wraps, and I figured I buy maybe 2 of a few different brands and see what works. Any suggestions in that arena?

Wow. The learning curve on this mama thing is steep!

That sounds like just the perfect thing. For wraps I am partial to Bummis super whisper wrap. Another one people like is Alexis Featherlight. Also prowraps (haven't tried those last two). But I wanted to say congrats to you and your little one for getting back into cloth

You might check with the diaper service, they often carry covers like prowraps and bummis - often at a lower price than you can get them online.

Just a thought...

That's great! I used a service briefly with my first dd and it was pretty nice.

I like Bummis Super Whisper Wraps and Alexis Featherlights myself, but lots of people really like Proraps.
