I'm starting to think about it again, because I think I want to use cloth when we start foster care, which may include a baby/younger toddler. But I'm not sure how to go about investing in diapers when I don't know what size baby we would have!
For my sister, my mom and I are going to sew DiaperKit.com They are trim, easy to use, and they work. I suppose I should do that for foster kids, too, because I really like them.
The one size diapers like BumGenius are great for their long-term use and if you ever have 2 in diapers at once, it's nice not to have to worry about which diapers belong to which little one. I really love the BumGenius 2.0s.
We use a lot of Fuzzi Bunz too, as well as Happy Heiny solid colors. (The solids use the same material as FBs on the outside, so there's less wicking than with the prints.) Personally, I like aplix, but consider the snap vs aplix feature before you decide, if it matters to you.

So can use use the Wonderoos on a NB ,too? I mean do they fit nicely? Edited becasue I thought BumG's were ones size as well.
BG's used to be, are they not now? Roos are pretty bulky on a nb (even my chunky monkey). I have also found that even with good care the elastic wears out after about a year.
The original Roos were workhourses though, I have a couple I bought used that would have to be over 4 years old and they are some of the few that still work well for us.

The BumGenius come in bamboo terry fitteds (sized), All in Ones (also sized) and pockets, which are one size. The one size pockets come with a CottonBabies microterry insert that you stuff them with, though for tiny babies, it may be a bit bulky, and you might want to stuff it with a hemp Little Weed, or a flat, even a folded up receiving blanket.
hmm, if I had a baby again and could have any diapering system I'd pick one that comes with a person to change and wash the diapers. I don't mind folding and putting them away, but an extra pair of hands to do the dirty work would help.

Wow! It seems like ages since I was intot he cloth diapering :crying: Laina is just about PT now, so I guess we are just about done. I have all my stuff ready to pass to an IRL friend. Of all the systems out there, I think AIOs are the absolute easiest, second is pockets. If I have another baby, I'll probalby do all one system (with prefolds as back-ups). Have fun shopping! I haven't bought dipes in over a year!

Personally, I like aplix, but consider the snap vs aplix feature before you decide, if it matters to you.
I'm torn on that. I like Aplix because it tends to yield a better fit, but snaps stay looking and working nicely longer. I have some VB AIO's with snap in soakers that I made and I love, but apparently my princess prefers the stay dry effect. They're snap, and fitting her perfectly right now, but if her size changes I know I won't be happy with the fit anymore. I'm picky.
I'm think I'm going to order a BumGenius, Happy Heiny, and Fuzzi Bunz, and a few misc stuffers to try. Oh, and a couple of Kari's dipes. I probably won't mind stuffing as much if I have stuffers that fit. I always used prefolds before and it's a pita to try to get them to lay flat in there.
I can sew and probably should just do that to get exactly what I want, but I can't seem to find the time. Imagine that. And my serger is pissing me off lately, it refuses to do 3 layers of hemp fleece without busting threads.

If you want to sew pockets, I can recommend a pattern for you! I really like it - it's inexpensive, it's emailed to you in a pdf file, and the fit is incredibly trim and great! It's for aplix or snaps and also is not one-sized. Here it is: www.darlingdiapers.com. This is what I use to make Andy's cotton pockets!
increased to $17.95 each because they now come with the microterry insert, instead of being sold separately. MOE mandated it because they wanted to sell the 'system' as opposed to having people stuff with prefolds, etc. and then having the FB not work as well...

Ahh I see, thanks for the info. I don't care for the Microterry insert so I wouldn't use the insert anyways, but I guess it's nice that they come with one for $4 more. I remember just over 3 years ago I bought a dozen new FB's for $12.95 each, including the inserts, but maybe I got a really good deal? I just know what it costs to make them and I think asking almost $18 each is outrageous. At lest the BumG are OS. I look forward to trying those
Wool wool wool, but not the longies that seem to be popular now. I don't like the looks of them. I really like felted wool wraps. I'd like some prefolds on hand for when I feel like pinning. I'd like some sized aplix pocket diapers. I like my BG one sizes. But I think I'd stick with fitteds with wool wraps. I'm buying Swaddlebees cotton terry fitteds for my medium and larges right now.
