How do I start?
SMART IDEAS by our customers
"...I'm about to diaper two kids,
so I moved my diaper station onto the folding table in my laundry room.
Don't know why I didn't think of this before; now I just grab a cover
hang drying from my handy IKEA laundry claw- with only one baby I used
to fold them all up nice and neat. Not so anymore! -Michelle E., 2/16/2012, Responding to a Facebook Survey "GIVE ADVICE TO NEW PARENTS STARTING CLOTH?"
Ready to go with cloth diapers? Here is how many of each item you will need:
- 18-36 diapers (the more the merrier and longer they will last!)
- Diaper Pail (I bought a standard kitchen garbage can with lid from Target)
- 2 Diaper Pail liners to be used in laundry rotation
- 2 to 3 dozen cloth diaper wipes

That's a lot of money up front. We suggest that as soon as you know that you are pregnant and going to use cloth diapers, you begin to save $60/mo for the entire pregnancy. Then you have your diapers for the next three years! Think about purchasing a Sunshine Kids Radian XTSL convertible car seat that goes from 5-85 pounds (my 6 year old still sits in his!) instead of an infant carrier. Bodie grew out of his $160 Chicco infant carrier by 4 months! I wish I would have known!
