Speaking of cloth diapers... - New Moms

For those of you who DO cloth diapering, what you would you suggest for starting out?

What brand or any useful books? I have gone to some websites, but do you have any firsthand suggestions that helped you out?

Thanks!!!

Yeah, I have gone to a some of the websites that DO offer a lot of tips, but I kind want to know what REALLY works, what has been tested and what tricks of the trade are there?

I don't know of any books but my favorite brands are Bumkins, FuzziBuns, etc. I would definately start out with AIO's (all-in-one's) or pocket dipes.

I would strongly suggest http://www.bumgenius.com/one-size.php. I love their one size dipes!! They are a pocket diaper (meaning you add the material to make them absorbant) and since they are a one size they last from 8 pounds to 30ish pounds. I agree though that starting out you should definetly stick to either pockets or all in ones.

Fuzzibuns Pockets are easier IMO. You can stuff as much or little as you like and the dry a lot faster than AIOs.

I love both the Pin and DiaperSwappers. For newborns I prefer prefolds & covers, for older babies and toddlers I like pockets best. I also like fitteds & covers. I like a bit of everything.
