[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recommend starting after the newborn phase- they grow out of those quickly and there’s so much else to learn that cloth diapering can wait. We liked bumgenius all in ones. [/quote]

This 100%.  Don't bother with newborn diapers.  You'll be exhausted and worth it.  We liked the bum genius all in ones but wait till baby is here and try a few different brands and styles.  I had maybe 40-50 of them as I had a set to use, and a set to dry as I hung them so they wouldn't wear out.  BG used to have really good second sales.  Don't buy used.

Do a pre-rinse in cold, then a good wash in hot with a free and clear detergent, and two additional rinses.  Every few weeks strip the diapers with vinegar or bleach or they smell.  If you line dry and have a dehumidifier, put them in the room with the dehumidifier and they will dry quickly.  The Ikea octopus hanger clothing dryer is great for drying diapers with.  Don't overthink it.  Get a sealed pail.  Don't bother with inserts or bags and just wash the pail every week or two - bathtub with simple green or soap.  Wash every 4 days or so or the smell is bad.  Use inserts at night.

Use disposables when you are out of the house.[/quote]
