Hi!
Me! I cloth diapered my dd (now 2 years old)...it was great, so planning to go that route again. I'll pick up a few more boy ones, just because I love them, but he'll also wear the pink & girlie stuff - it's under his clothes, no one will see
I did find CD as a newborn challenging though. My dd was 6 1/2 pounds when she came home and I had about 18 diapers that should of fit her, but there was some leaking/fit issues b/c of her size. Plus, we were using more than 12 per day, so I ended up using disposables until she was about 10 pounds. After that, it was easy - never used a disposable again, and she was potty trained (on her own, thanks to the cloth diapers!) at about 18 months.
What kind did you get?
Thanks for sharing! You're right, it's going to be under his clothes anyway.. I was refraining from choosing any 'pretty' designs for diaper covers since I'm on team yellow, but I think I will go ahead and pick a couple out now lol.
I have some prefolds in stock because my mom got them for me, but I'm looking to try the pre-fitted and AIOs because I figured that will be the easiest for my DH/ childcare to figure out.
And I'm also thinking of using the disposables for newborn stage like you did. Though what I bought yesterday was one Grovia Newborn AIO, because I wanted to test how long it might take to dry an AIO diaper - 2hrs on tumble dry low along with some pre-folds and it still wasn't completely dry
I'm also planning on cloth diapering, it's such a huge money saver and also much better for the environment! Got the inserts we ordered but still waiting to get the covers (I bought adjusteable ones) in the mail. Had to order it all as it doesn't seem to be a thing in Denmark, you definitely can't get much in the baby stores and have to order them. Although I can hear that DH isn't looking forward to having to change the baby when he won't be able to just throw the diaper out, especially if it's a poopy one
I'm forced to order most of the brands I want too! Which brands did u get? I'm thinking of ordering the GMD workhorse pre-fitted with the blueberry coveralls or capris. I want to try the blueberry simplex newborn AIOs and bumgenius elemental AIOs too.
