Congratulations and welcome!<BR/><BR/>I started over 2 yrs ago with my first baby. It took me about 4 months to decide If I would use cloth or disposable, What kind and How much to get/spend. I just got a few sample packages and tried them out for a month or two on her after she was born. I wound up liking Fuzzy Bunz the best and have stuck with them ever since. Now my son (1 yr old) is using the same diapers as she did at his age and baby #3 will be using them in about 7 months. <BR/><BR/>I too have leak problems on occasion, I usually find that after a good wash with out soap and a line dry (so as not to get any dryer sheet crude on them) brings them back to normal.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15873161889828340517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198288786583198091.post-65228122300236430462008-07-13T23:18:00.000-05:002008-07-13T23:18:00.000-05:00Sorry, somehow I missed that you were having leaka...Sorry, somehow I missed that you were having leakage problems! Are you using a Snappi with the prefolds? They're just a little rubber piece that holds the diaper on tight. Also, there are lots of ways to put on a prefold, depending on the size of your baby. The shop owner should be be able to show you some.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729511504280715449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198288786583198091.post-39153590745026583552008-07-13T21:59:00.000-05:002008-07-13T21:59:00.000-05:00Wow! Your story is exactly mine only I haven't mad...Wow! Your story is exactly mine only I haven't made it to the purchasing stage yet. That is a major accomplishment. I have even went as far as to proclaiming that my next will be in cloth diapers!<BR/><BR/>I've been extremely overwhelmed at times with all that is out there on cloth diapers. I didn't know this mega store existed in Austin. I need to go browse since I can't make them myself- I'm sewing illiterate. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to chat more about this!<BR/><BR/>Lyns<BR/>p.s. I think it is super cool that Rachel S. is commenting here. They are friends from our previously wonderful church in College Station- you may personally know her already. She is the "Queen of Cloth Diapers".5 Chicks and a Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03707903594514467277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198288786583198091.post-38208840398923542572008-07-13T20:57:00.000-05:002008-07-13T20:57:00.000-05:00Yeah!

How often are you changing him? <BR/><BR/>We are using prefolds on our youngest, and will continue until she outgrows her infant prefolds and small covers, around 6 months or so.<BR/><BR/>For older kids, I love BumGenius diapers--I use the one-size pocket. It fits kids 10-30 pounds, so it's well worth the extra expense. I also like FuzziBunz, but the sizing means you have to buy more. They are great for overnights as they can hold more than one insert really well.<BR/><BR/>You should check out diaperswappers.com. You can get some really great deals on used diapers to see what you like.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there! Maybe it will make potty-training easier?Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15778868276347075644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198288786583198091.post-24123643168415916512008-07-13T10:31:00.000-05:002008-07-13T10:31:00.000-05:00muahaha! as i wring my hands in delight i will als...muahaha! as i wring my hands in delight i will also welcome you to the dark side. i mean SOFT side :) we have also used fuzzi bunz and fitteds as the previous poster has. <BR/><BR/>there is way way way too much information and options out there with cloth diapers. i remember being pregnant with my first and being very intimidated to start when he was born. but! persevere, try different styles and see what works for you. in the end the pocket diapers won us over as being the most practical, easy to use, and most reliable. if i were to start over today i would get some bumGenius diapers.<BR/><BR/>what covers are you using? that might be part of the leaking problemOlivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520966443612804862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198288786583198091.post-22450409683659844042008-07-13T09:32:00.000-05:002008-07-13T09:32:00.000-05:00Congratulations on coming over to the soft side!! ...Congratulations on coming over to the soft side!! :) I started with prefolds with my first baby, too, mainly because of cost. I didn't spend much time debating, since there wasn't anywhere near as much available as now. But if I'd let my hubby choose -- he would have picked AIOs because they're so easy.<BR/><BR/>Now I have a little of everything, mostly Fuzzi Bunz and fitteds w/wool covers. And I'll probably be finished with them all by next June. *sigh* Actually, after 8 years of washing diapers, I think I'll throw a party. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729511504280715449noreply@blogger.com
