so daycare WILL do cloth diapers.

DS is almost four months old.  He weighs almost 14 lbs.  I want something that will grow with him.

What do you suggest?

How many diapers would you start with?

Anyone have a diaper I could borrow for a week to be sure this is something we want to do?

 

Re: so daycare WILL do cloth diapers.

  • I would totally suggest Tots Bots! I love those and the BG Elementals but DH doesn't like the BGE's because of the snaps. He even told me to buy more Tots Bots! They are an All In Two. You stuff them like a pocket but it's more like a tongue because the insert is connected to the diaper so you never have to search the laundry to match up the inserts with the diapers. They are One Size so will fit your baby through the entire diapering stage! Tots bots are always my go to diaper when i have to leave J with anyone that may be unsure about CDing.

    Go to TTBBB and do a trial package. It would be well worth your time to do it. That way you can try out a bunch of different types and get a fell for what's out there. Plus they will be able to answer all of your questions :)

    I'm no help in the amount needed, as i have way too many :) I would say if you want to do laundry every 2-3 days you need about 18-24 diapers. 

     

    here's the link to the Tots Bots to see what they are:

  • I second the trial package. Then you can see what you like. I have Fuzzi Buns, Bum Genius, Tot Bots and a Rumparoo. Fuzzi buns maake up most of mmy stock though. The Tot Bot iss one of my favorite and if I would have found them first, they would make up more of my stock. Everyone seems to prefer something different. I think I have around 24 diapers and do laundry every 2-3 days. Good luck!

  • I'm just going to ditto what Holly said :)  The trial would give you every "kind" of diaper to try and see what you like.

    Tot Bots are awesome and quickly becoming my favorite diaper as well.

  • Do these only come in velcro?  Has this been an issue for anyone?  I have yet to buy a cloth diaper, but will soon be starting to look.  It sounds like these may be the way to go. 
  • They only come in velcro but it is a stronger velcro than what is used on BG and other aplix diapers.  I loathe velcro on diapers and have had zero problems with the Totbots we have.

  • Yes the tot bot velcro is nothing like the BG's. I hate the BG's, it's worthless after awhile. Love the Totbot though.

  • Depending what you decide to go with, I have some very good condition Fuzzi Bunz (2 One Size & about 6 Mediums).   I would try the trial package to see what you like because everyone is different.  Pockets were definitely easiest for us! 
  • I definitely suggest trialing a few.  While lots here seem to like Tots Bots, they leaked horribly for my son.  We love BG Elementals!  It is definitely a trial and error process to see what works best for your LO.  GL!
