Marsie- How did you proof them? What did you do if they leaked? Thanks for the comment!

I used Happy Heinys with Amara- I loved them but the printed diapers were not very waterproof- I had to proof them myself after a few uses! Other than that I LOVED our cloth diapers!

I’m so glad you are happy to be using cloth! I’ve been very happy with mine too! I use Allen’s Naturally laundry soap which lasts a very long time. I also use flushable diaper liners when I need to use diaper rash cream. It’s been a few months since I’ve been able to use my diapers though because of our washer issues. We just got a new washer and I’m so excited to start using them again! I love the BumGenius and the Blueberry! I also have Wonderoos and Happy Heiny’s, but I’m not using them because they don’t fit him right in the legs. Isaiah was 6 pounds 12 ounces when he was born and then dropped to 5 pounds 12 ounces. I only wanted to use the one size fits all because I didn’t want to spend the money to buy each size. So, I wasn’t able to use my cloth diapers until he was a few months old because he was too small. It was nice to get through the first couple of exhausting months without having to wash diapers every other day too!

Keep the questions coming! I started with 6 diapers for Zeke when he was three months old and that lasted me a few months. I now have 18 and do the wash every couple of days. Unless you are buying the gDiapers, all of the shells come with a cloth, washable liner (2 for Happy Heiny and BumGenius). I’ve never used disposable liners so I’m not sure how many of those you would need.

Sorry, I’m asking so many questions. I think I am going to give these a go with Eli. How many do you think I should buy to get started? And how many of those liner thingys? He goes through 3-4 disposables a day right now. Thanks!!
