So I've got my full stash of diapers in the house now... 21 Fuzzi Bunz and 3 Little Beetles. We just got the Little Beetles, and will be using our first one tonight... they are our overnight diaper.
So far, we are liking the change. I think the main thing I had to get used to was the sheer size of the FBs in comparison to disposables... they're so much bigger! But his clothes still fit and he doesn't seem to mind, so no big deal!

On thing I love about the Fuzzi Bunz concept is that you can add more absorbency as needed. My sister says that he wet through during nap, so I told her to add a layer tomorrow and see how that goes. We have the microterry inserts from Nurtured Family and Little Beetles Leaf hemp doublers, so we have plenty to choose from.
My sister says that the thing she's having to get used to is the fact that you can't "tell" when he's wet. I told her just to change him every 2-3 hours and everything should be fine.
I haven't had to do "dirty" wash yet, but I will probably be doing two loads to maximize the cleaning potential.
Now that we are doing it, I can't belive I waited so long to do this... I can't tell you how many times I looked at all the different diapers and would get completely overwhelmed by all of the information and then just give up in frustration.
I'm still waiting on our cloth wipes and diaper potion to arrive in the mail, but as soon as they do, we'll have made our full conversion.
I spent a lot of money, but I wanted to make sure I had enough diapers to that I don't wear them out quickly. I really want them to last through another child.
So my review of FBs so far is
