I'm going to try to answer as many as I can, but remember, there's no one "right" way. Some of it will be trial and error — pretty soon you'll find out what works best for you.


  • when you're out and about, use a smaller wet bag like this one to contain your diapers until you get home. I have this one and it does a good job keeping the smell and wetness contained.
  • if your baby is breastfeed, their poop will be liquidy, water soluble and not too smelly until they start solids so there's no need to rinse them, just toss them in the wet bag. I'm not sure about formula fed babies, but I'm sure someone else in this sub can chime in. If you are using and AIO just close it up like you would if you were putting it on the baby so the poop doesn't get all over the other covers.
  • with my newborn I used the jelly roll fold because it did a great job containing the liquid newborn poop. Now that he's a little older (3 months) I find myself using the newspaper fold more often because my kiddo is really squirmy during diaper changes and I can do the newspaper fold quickly with one hand while holding his legs still with the other.
  • you will need to use a cover with your prefold any time you don't want to get wet. The prefold will get damp just like a towel will when it absorbs water, so if you don't have a cover the wetness will spread to your LOs clothes or whoever is holding him/her. I do let my LO hang out sometimes in just a prefold when we want to get some naked time in. It's nice and airy on hot days, especially when we are playing outside and there's not much for him to pee on.
  • for pants, my kiddo fits in the next size up. The stretch sweatpants work great too!

So first off, ignore the "good for the environment" arguments. They've been mostly debunked.

My wife and I switched to cloth diapers because they're cheaper. There's an initial buy-in, but that should be enough to last you a while. We even travel with cloth diapers, we just have a small wet bag in our diaper bag (instead of plastic bags) and a large one at home.

Changing diapers isn't too much more difficult with cloth diapers than disposables. Laundry has become pretty frequent, but with babies that's going to happen anyway. We do a load of diapers every 2 to 3 days, pre-rinsing in cold water, washing hot, using Rockin' Green as detergent. No folding, it all just gets dumped into a bin next to the changing table.

As for the diapers themselves, we've been using Bummis pre-folds with various brands of diaper covers, but we plan on switching to BumGenius when our son is big enough to fit them (his legs are too skinny). No safety pins either, we use Snappis.

As for the kid's reaction, as soon as we switched to cloth, his diaper rash went away. There have been a few leg leaks, but my son has chicken-wing-skinny legs so there's not much we can do about that (every brand of disposables we tried leaked as well).

One piece of advice before you decide: if you already have daycare lined up (if daycare is even a thing for your family) check to see whether they're ok with cloth diapers. Some will only deal with disposables, for obvious reasons.

We're like four days into this cloth diapering things and what we did was ask for a bunch of prefolds (I think we have two dozen of size 1 of these) and I bought some NB covers (6) off of Nicki's Diapers (there was a sale so I think I spent like $25 -- much cheaper than what was on Amazon). So, far, so good. We did use disposables for the first week because of meconium and having to use antibiotic cream on his penis. We also registered for a large (for home) and small (for the diaper bag) [wet bags] (http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Wise-Wet-Bag-Medium/dp/B005WWIMGA/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1398382271&sr=1-1&keywords=wet+bag), and a diaper sprayer. You could also ask for cloth wipes (we're not there yet). Also, we received a lot of newborn and size 1 diapers at our showers (we didn't ask for them), so we haven't had to buy anything diaper-wise. We used up most of the NB diapers but haven't touched the three bags of size 1s. It's nice to have the disposables for going places during the day while we're getting used to the cloth.

  1. Get a wet bag. Link.

  2. Get a diaper sprayer to spray the poop into the toilet. Link.

  3. The front loader, high efficiency washers don't always have enough water for a proper rinse. Wet a bath towel and pop it in with the diapers. It will cause the washer to add more water due to the weight that it senses.

  4. You want to avoid any detergents that will cause any sort of build up. We use an all natural and zero-perfume detergent made locally. Link. Also, read the prepping and washing section of this sub.
