I used cloth diapers with five children. I would wash them in hot water then on days that the sun was out I would hang them outside to dry. It would make them nice and white. I know we saved so much money and I’ve tried to get my daughter and daughter-n-laws to use them but they won’t even try. We we have gone out by the dump all you can smell is dirty diapers. Good luck!

this makes me smile. my kidlets are 35, 34 and 30 and i used cloth diapers as a matter of course. w/ a washer and dryer it’s very easy. just throw a load in every couple days w/ hot water and soap, dry in a dryer or hang on a line. easy peasy. if you are overwhelmed don’t bother to fold them, the babes only care that their butt is dry. i used “rubber pants” probably vinyl, to keep the wet from getting all over.
good luck, all will be fine.

Hey there
I thought that was you on Atlanta Cloth! You can also try http://diaperdivas.proboards.com or another way to get there is http://www.diapersewingdivas.net (all about CDing but also from the sewing/knitting perspective).
We cloth diapered Avi from birth until he learned to use the potty at 19 months (now he just wears one when he sleeps) and I pretty much made all of baby-girl-to-be’s stash (we use a combination of prefolds and covers, fitteds and covers, PUL pocket diapers, etc)
You are more than welcomed to email me and I’d be happy to give you my phone #… I LOVE the fact that we cloth diapered and would love to help anyone do it too! I am due in a week but I’d still be happy to help you any way that I can!
Also – it’s my plan to get to Stitches between feedings (at least for market for a bit) so maybe I’ll see you there! Alison

Horaay for you! I tried cloth diapers for like a minute, and then just used all my cloth diapers for burp rags. I totally just quit. I hope it all works for you this time. Your baby belly is too cute =)

Well good luck trying again. My neighbors are doing cloth diapers, but this one is a service that picks them up. I am intimidated by the whole thing. BTW, nice baby bump!
