I cloth diaper our youngest and breastfeed.

For cloth diapering I use Fuzzi Bunz... spent $300 bought 15 diapers and do laundry 2-3 times a week. And when you're done you can sell them on eBay for half price... or go to ebay initially and buy them for half price used.

My youngest will be in the first size (Small) for the first 6 months. Then I'll probably have to move up to Mediums.

Cloth diapering has certainly evolved from 20 years ago. They even have cute designs and stuff on them... not sure how long I'll continue this. I cloth diapered my son till he was 4 months old... my youngest is 4 months old now and I still think she can wear these diapers for at least another few months and until her bowel movements turn solid... I can probably continue this.

ETA: I'm not trying to push cloth diapering on the OP... but just wanted to post this info in case it might be helpful to anyone who would be considering CDing. Money is tight for us with a baby... but with some adjustments we have made, cloth diapering, working from home, breastfeeding and shopping clearance and garage sales - it has made our youngest the cheapest child of our four. And we had to start fresh with her... we were done with 3 and gave away and donated ALL of our baby stuff. Then as we were searching for a reputable Dr for DH's vasectomy - SURPRISE.
