fitted diapers vs. chinese prefolds
I've been failing at an attempt to cloth diaper DD. I was doing really well
for a while, and then our washing machine broke down and I had to use disposables . . . and then the machine was fixed but I wanted to use up all the diapers I had before she grew out of them (she was getting mighty close), since I'd already forked out the money for them. And now she's at the point where the chinese prefolds I had purchased are almost too small, and the covers I have are almost too small, and I have a decision to make. Is it worth it to go for the more expensive, fitted diapers (thinking kissaluvs or mother-ease here), or should I stick with the prefolds? I hated the way the covers always got messy when DD had a poop, and I was thinking that the fitted diapers would protect the covers better (and I'd therefore need fewer). Another issue is that DH really didn't like using cloth diapers, and I'm thinking that the fitteds are more user-friendly. I'm also concerned about night-time absorbancy. I didn't have much luck keeping DD leak-free and used disposables at night. I'd like to do away with that, if possible. So . . . opinions, anyone? I'm close to shelling out $250 for the Mother-Ease package, which would (so they claim) basically set us up for the rest of her diapering days, except for a few new covers. But if anyone has had a negative experience with those, I'd really appreciate hearing it. -- Jodi SAHM to Oliver (2 years, 6 months) & Arwen (4 months) |

I've not tried the Mother-Ease, but I've heard a ton of bad press about them. Do you recall what you've heard? I have a friend who just bought some and loves them, though she does say they're bulky. But then, she's coming from a diaper pins and rubber pants perspective, so I have to take that into consideration. Jodi |
