Default Re: Cloth Diapers

They make the velcro ones in all sizes. As I mentioned in my first post my kids are on the big size and blew through small and medium the first few months. But large lasted the rest of the time. THey last forever. My baby is using covers that were used for the last 2 years by his big bro.

We use the covers as they are a very easy way to attach the diapers. Avoids pins. THey have other alternatives to pins, but slap on a cover with velcro - easiest way I know. Keeps the clothes from getting wet - the kids soak through the diaper itself pretty fast - though they have fancier varieties of diapers. They make some that are all-in-one - diaper and cover. IF I Washed them myself I would invest in those.

I can't remember the size on the diapers themselves. But like the covers, the baby was in the same size as his 3yo brother at around 6 months - for a while they were both in the same size diapers - the diaper service was dirt cheap in that case.

I don't think you would need 80 diapers at all - just a start how many you would need in a week. Then decide how often you want to do laundry!
