[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have used a combo since the beginning. Mostly cloth at home, disposables overnight, on outings, and at daycare. We did cloth at daycare for a while, but a few of my favorites didn’t make it home, and they provide disposables, so we just went with that. DS is almost 2 and I expect we will sell our diapers (collector prints) for a decent price soon. Worth the investment, even if we are only about 50% cloth at this point. It’s not all or nothing. We also use a combo of cloth wipes / disposables, and we do use diaper liners. [/quote] This is us with a current 14 month old. On five lists for daycares and none allow cloth diapering. We're in a nanny share and went with disposable to make our nanny's life easier and ours during the week. But we used them maybe 50/50 when on maternity leave and now when DS is hanging out at home, he's often in a cloth diaper. I hate changing poopy ones now that DS has for real poops so DH does that (yay!), but pee diapers are a breeze and newborn poop diapers, especially breastfed poop, are really easy to clean. If you think you'll do a combo, don't make a huge investment. We registered for prefolds with cute covers but they didn't work well for our DS and were a hassle for us (YMMV) so we resold them. We ended up getting some infant sized all in ones which were great for the first few months (DS was very small). Then we graduated to pocket diapers and since we aren't doing full-time cloth diapering, we got generic ones on Amazon (Alva I believe, 6 for $30 I believe) along with a couple of bum genius ones we bought at a local store. Both wash up amazingly well, I'm surprised. We use them frequently on the weekends and weekday evenings. I think they'd be even better if we bought better inserts (more absorbent), but since we don't use them all the time we have stuck with what they came with. We never used reusable wipes so can't comment on that.[/quote]
