[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two kids and cloth diapered both. We start when they are 10 lbs (about 4 weeks for both of mine) so they fit in the Alvababy. We do disposable at night and when out of the house for long chunks of time (not just hanging at the neighborhood park, but when we are out for the morning or whatever). We change every 2 hours. Wash them every other day and you can get by with about 20. Cloth seems like a big deal at first but like so many baby things, you will look back and think it wasn’t worth stressing out about.

I was basically going to say everything this person said. We started at around 4 weeks when they fit the adjustable size options. We wash when the pail fills up. We just hit pre wash and then extra rinse. Every month or so we use grovia pods for an extra super wash to address mineral build up. We are happy with the Ubbi. We got the vast majority of our cloth diapers for free on neighborhood list serves. People try them a few times and decide they aren’t into it. Once your kid is older and pees a lot more, I’ve learned I really like hemp/cotton inserts at the second layer. I personally prefer the paper towel thin bamboo liners to other approaches to rinsing poop.

A month into cloth diapering my husband announced it was way easier than he expected after being drawn into it a bit begrudgingly. There are numerous ways to make it work and you’ll be fine. [/quote]
