[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if you decide to invest in cloth diapers you should stick with it - in the long run it's much cheaper and better for the environment but to only do for the first 4 months would not save you much money because of the upfront cost and the fact that newborns don't fit one size diapers well right away - so you're either buying a separate newborn or prefold stash or using some sposies mixed in at the beginning.

Can't speak for DC, but we have used 3 different daycare centers in MD that all allowed cloth diapers (though we were the first family in any of them to actually use them) - they required we bring a clean zippered wet bag each day and they would rill up the wet/poopy diaper and tie it in a plastic bag then put that inside the bag (not my preference but workable).

We always used flushable disposable wipes at daycare and any diaper changes not in the baby's room, it was just easier for us.[/quote]

I should have added - don't be surprised if you get some pushback from teachers even after the Director has agreed that you can bring your cloth diapers. The first week my DD was in a new daycare the staff were MAD with me because they insisted they COULD NOT accept/use what we provided, even after their boss (owner/director) had told me we could. It was just communication and something new/scary.  I LOVE these teachers two years later, they were not prepared for it and are very accustomed to going by the book ( they just weren't aware what the book said - ha)[/quote]
