Can anyone offer advice about cloth diapering?

I am going to use cloth too. Check out a diapering website to get an idea of what kind you want to use (greenmountaindiapers.com is a good one). I went with the gerber prefolds (bought 3 dozen at Target) and the Thirsties brand covers (you have to order them online). The Thirsties come in bright colors and have fantastic leg gussets to make them more comfortable and prevent leaks. I got 2 small size ones and 3 medium. That should get me right through to potty-training. When you use the covers with prefolds inside you just have to fold the prefold in thirds and place it in the cover, so they're babysitter and dad-friendly, too. Also, you don't have to wash the cover unless it gets wet, so you can just change out the prefolds. Make sure you wash the prefolds correctly to avoid odors and don't put your covers through the dryer. Also, fabric softeners and dryer sheets can NEVER be used as they are oily and decrease absorbency. Another cool product you'll love are the inserts that you can add to the diaper that catch poop so you can just flush it instead of scraping it out. Email me if you have more questions: mymadeliene@yahoo.com. Good luck with cloth-- it's so much cheaper and eco-friendly than disposables!
