Kimberlina 02-03-2006, 10:27 AM I did on and off. DDs skin resisted any attempts on our part to keep her in cloth. She would get a red chemical burn if we used two cloth consecutively, so we had to switch between cloth and paper. It didn't matter HOW we washed, rinsed or dried them, or in what. It always happened. We have a lot of different types of cloth dipes- my personal favorties are Little Lambs. We have about 7 LL AIOs and they fit her for a really long time- we just buttoned the top snaps at the end. And they are so darn cute. Good luck with your cloth attempts! It is nice to know you aren't contributing nearly as much to landfills as you could be. :) Jasmine 02-04-2006, 01:28 AM We do.:) I use mostly prefolds but have some Wonderoos and a Fuzzibunz for DD. There are some Kissaluv 0s and newborn Mutts waiting on the new baby's bottom. They are so cute and tiny! Mostly we'll still use prefolds, though, as my main reason for cloth is saving money. I just keep some easier dipes around for going out and DH. He's great with cloth but gets nervous about folding and Snappi'ing. HOOAH2003 02-06-2006, 03:29 PM I am contemplating getting prefolds...im waiting on my shipment of four more little lambs ...I am washing daily right now Jasmine 02-07-2006, 11:04 PM I love prefolds. There's just something so simple about them. Not to mention, you can custom fold for a good fit and they wash and dry quickly. I forgot to mention...the Wonderoos don't fit DD that well anymore and she's only 31 lbs. They say they'll fit to 35 lbs but they tend to leave red marks and the rise isn't quite high enough. So they may not last as long as you were expecting. dndylfe 02-08-2006, 02:10 AM We use prefolds on both of our boys, but disposable at night. Otherwise the boys wake up because of wet diapers that make them cold.... The only drawback has been figuring out a good cleaning system. They just weren't getting as clean (or clean smelling) with just hot water and soap, including pre-wash, so I finally figured out to bleach them---duh. And suddenly, no more diaper rash, smell, and all is good in our house. Also, prefolds are nice because I use the same ones for both the 3 mo. old and 2 year old; just different covers. But I do wish I had more money for Kissaluvs or such; they look so much cuter.... Jeanna 02-08-2006, 08:50 AM I used almost entirely cloth on my son and it really saved a lot of money. But like Kimberly my daughter could not stay in cloth for the same reason as her daughter. santoria 05-06-2006, 12:39 PM I used prefolds and flats on my girls for their first couple of months. it was just easier to wash and dry them since they take so less time. then I switched to fitteds. I mainly got all mine from thrift stores, consignment shops (mostly for pennies as people don't understand them.... :) ) also sew my own. |
