I have only spent $80 total on 100 pocket diapers, 230 inserts, and 11 wet bags.
We cloth diaper both our babes fulltime, starting at 6 weeks old. We love it and will never buy disposables 🤢
@mommy2ardr would love to! We tried various types of cloth diapers before learning that pocket diapers worked best for us. We have never had a single blowout in cloth. Pocket diapers allow us to control the absorbency of each diaper. Both kiddos are heavy wetters. A big part of making cloth work for you is making sure you have the right fit on your babe. A lot of parents experience leaks bc they don't have the diaper on correctly.

Wish has cloth diapers,amazon , Walmart online and there’s also online companies that will help you with cloth diapers for free
I want to try with my baby but my entire family keeps saying no, I think if you’re having a day inside the house then use them but use disposable outside
To convenient not to use cloth diapers with my lifestyle
It's not my thing. If you can that's pretty great though.
I cloth diaper half time, I just started about a month ago and im still getting the hang of it. Definitely a learning curve. We use AIOs which are basically just like disposables except you wash them. I bought a few different ones to try to begin with so I could see what I liked best. Ive got some bumgenius free times, happy flute AIOs, Fluffy Penguin AIOs, and Cutie Bootie baby boutique AIOs. The cutie booties are my favorite and they're only $10.50. Learning a good wash routine for your washer is a must! Fluff love university tells you all about washers, detergents and basically everything. If you buy used make sure to buy some grovia mighty bubbles and strip them or theyll stink usually, I got some that did anyway 😯. I'm really getting the hang of it, I just need to add more to my stash. Also overnight clothing can be tricky if you have a heavy wetter like I do. I cloth during the day and use huggies overnights at night. Hoping to find a remedy to her heavy wetting soon. I didnt do pockets because it just seemed like too much work when I could spend a few more dollars a diaper and have it all sewn together. I'd definitely check out the different types and also the fluff love university.
I just want to know what happens to the contents of the diaper?
@divinely_favored it's a whole attachment you add to your toilet. You spray it into the toilet. The diaper is made of a semi plastic water proof outer shell, then they have cloth pieces inside, I buy diapers that have inserts sewn onto it like a flap. Just google aio cloth diaper and you could see what I'm talking about. The inserts are made from cotton,bamboo, or hemp usually and they're like a super absorbent pad basically but just one you wash in the machine. They also come with a stay dry liner so it's like the baby is wearing a disposable bc they cant feel the urine and it wont be touching and being absorbed into the skin. My toddler has never pooped anything but solids since we started cloth diapering so I havent really had the experience with the feces being clung to the diaper.
@cjohnston So is the main benefit saving money? Even with the toilet system and the inserts its worth it.
@divinely_favored saving money and being better for our planet. The toilet add on is only $20-40 extra and total cost in cloth diapers is probably around $300. We were spending about $75 a month on diapers for one and were about to have another so cost was a big reason.
I know someone that used them and every time I changed the child’s diaper the smell was overwhelming
They probably werent cleaning them correctly. I bought some used and they smelled rank. I had to purchase a special product to soak them in for 8 hours to strip them down to just the cloth.
Fluff university is a great resource. Tells you how to use your particular washing machine and also how to use the detergent you have.
Thank you :) I’ve been looking and they ain’t that cheap 😂
@angelhicks53, but I guess it equals out to diapers that can’t be reused
@angelhicks53, prefolds are one of the cheapest ways to go!
I cloth diaper with prefolds and good diaper covers. Once you start doing it, you get used to it. My daughter is 2 now so her poop is more predictable. We have a spray pal but you can honestly use a spray hose attachment.
I use a 6/7 gal bucket to throw all prefolds in and wash every 2 days or so but we have tons of prefolds and liners
@northwoodsmomma, see I’ll have to be the one who does all that bc my boyfriend does not have the stomach he still gags with the one year old 😂 but thank you for all your information 😊
We did them for a bit. My son has sensory issues and didn’t like how the particular kind we had felt on his back and refused to sleep in them, so we stopped. Plan on trying again with this baby though.
I didn’t mind the extra laundry and if you’re exclusively feeding breastmilk, the poop is water soluble, you don’t need to do any extra rinsing until you introduce solids. There’s also flushable liners you could buy to help get the poop off the diapers that supposedly break down completely in the sewer systems.
My 1 year old I stopped breastfeeding at 2 weeks I dried up and he still poops like I breastfeed I’m thinking like how 😂 I’m going to try to breastfeed with this baby I’m hoping it goes better then the last two but with having issues with them I feel like I’m going have issues with this one also
I think we’re going to invest in them with this pregnancy. I know many people who love them!
We tried it, I feel like buying a portable washer for them is a good idea! It started getting to be a lot for me to handle so we just stopped but its very nice knowing we have them in case something happened and we couldn't get diapers. Noras nursery are the ones we liked!
Yes I didn’t look at it that way I think I’m going to see if I like them and If i can get used to the hang of them since I’ll be trying to chase my 2nd 😂
@angelhicks53 i think we got like 5 or 7 noras nursery ones for like 30 bucks, they come with inserts but its best to order some extra. I'm sure you could find a small set and some extra inserts for like 50.
Maybe buy a portable washer for just for the cloth diapers lol I've tried it but just couldn't get the hang of everything.
I would love to give it a shot, but it seems like you have to spend a fortune to get started. I understand it saves money in the long run, but it’s a big investment to get started. The other reason we haven’t given it a shot is because we both work on opposite shifts, so my mom has our son one or two days a week. If you rely on any kind of child care, they have to be on board too.
@mom0fboysx3, a lot of people didn’t get me diapers at my other one so I feel like maybe nobody would but maybe they would since we got mostly everything still from my 2nd that’s Neutral
@northwoodsmomma, what are the inserts? Sorry I don’t know much about them
@angelhicks53 since we use pocket diapers, we have to stuff them ourselves. That's where the inserts come in. I would take pictures, but both babes are sleeping! A quick Google search on cloth diapers would be beneficial for you to understand the different types of cloth diapers 🙂
See I might try at first and see if I like them or not and only get so many and if I don’t just do diapers

@northwoodsmomma, that doesn’t sound too bad :) thank you so much you’ve helped a lot and I looked up the inserts they just look like a big pad 😂
@angelhicks53 pretty much hahaha I use cloth pads myself too. We also use cloth wipes for the babies and I use cloth wipes for pee. It saves so much paper waste!
@northwoodsmomma, that’s awesome I wish I could do all that im sure we could save a bunch but with having 2 older guys in the house we go though a lot of toilet paper & soon to be 3 (when he’s potty trained) maybe 4 😂
@angelhicks53 Fair enough. Let me know how it goes 'cause I've always wanted to give it a try as well just been so hesitant, you know? But hey, wish you the best of luck with whatever route you choose. 🙂🤞🏽
