Cloth Diapering!

I have been cloth diapering Emma starting from her second month. So it's been about a month since we started. I've been using pre-folds and covers (Flip, Thirsties and Econobum) for her so far and I've been really loving it! I also use cloth wipes with water. The fact that I save so much money on diapers is a huge plus. I haven't had any trouble with leaks esp. overnight yet, so I'm very happy about that.

Laundry is done every other day with 'All Free and Clear' detergent and all diapers are air dried inside, but when the weather is nice I put them out for the sun to get rid of any stains. I'm so happy that I chose to take this route in diapering because when I was using disposables the first month, it was scary how many diapers we were going through a day.

But honestly I think I'm able to cloth diaper only because I am a stay at home mom now. If I was working I probably would just stick to disposables.

The covers I've been using have been working great. I try to use the Econobum and Thirsties only during the day and the Flip at night. I feel like the Flip is more leak proof. However I don't really like the Flip inserts. I feel like it gives Emma diaper rashes, so I stopped using them for now. I'm gonna strip them and then see how they are on her. The Osocozy and the Econobum prefolds are working well for us now.

Here is how I set up our changing area:

I also have some pocket diapers which was given from a friend, but I haven't tried those out yet because they are too big for Emma right now. I'll start using them once they fit her and see how they are. We also always keep disposables handy since we do still use them when we are out, but probably will stop soon and use cloth diapers exclusively.
