dh and i are going to primarily CD instead of using disposables!!!!!!! the money thing is his main selling point :D i'm so excited

You're going to love them!

YAY!! I am so excited for you!!

The only thing that I would suggest is to have SOME disposables on hand. Couple of reasons:

1. The first few poops are GROSS!! (The meconium poops....the black tarry ones....they could stain!!)

2. If your baby (when he/she is older) has diarrhea, would be easier.

3. IF your baby has diaper rash (which is RARE in CD babies) you can use desitin. Most CDs don't recommend using creams in their diapes.

Hope that this helps....and have fun momma!!

yeah we are going to do a combo of the disposable and cloth. mainly cloth though

we love cloth! check out diaperpin.com and diaperswappers.com

I use avenno for my cd's desitin makes them less absorbent. Congrats on CD'ing! I wish I would have done it from the start.

what do you put on the outside so they do not leak?

That's great! I love CDing. If you want to CD before the baby passes the menconium, just use liners. Honestly, a good sunning got rid of any staining that happened b/c of that.

For what you put over it -- they have waterproof covers and also there are cloth diapers that are exactly like disposable -- All In Ones -- except you wash them. Those are the best for daycare.
