I didn't start cloth with my oldest until she was around 1. She wore prefolds and prowraps. I did make her a couple of Honeyboys (I bought a sewing machine and the pattern). Of course, we moved and they got packed away, then she potty trained.
While I was pregnant with ds I made him three dozen or so flannel fitted dipes based on the honeyboy pattern. He wore those until he grew into his SOS diapers. I pretty much used SOS diapers and MEOS with ME airflows and Alexis Featherlite pull ons. He was in cloth until I got pregnant with my youngest dd and couldn't stomach it.
My youngest wore only Dewdrops and MEOS with the airflows and pull-ons. I think she only wore cloth for a few months though. It was a bad hurricane season and I didn't want to have dirty dipes waiting to be washed.
I still have lots of my zootkitties. I wanted to email her and ask if I could buy her patterns cuz even though I liked my diapers I absolutely LOVED zookitties.
Honeyboys (I finally snagged 1 right at the end of Jody owning it)
Gavies
Otherwise I was mainly a pocket diaper mama. I had my own little biz and used those 99% of the time.

Pain is nothing compared to what it feels like to quit.
Oh, and remember The Rag Lady? She made some super cool nursing shirts, by pairing recycled waffle weave henleys with flannel shirts. I wanted one so bad, but she didn't have a color combo that I liked in my size.
I loved her recycled dipes too. I believe her name is Valerie. I also loved Jenny Oh's and Luke's drawers.
I also remember when it was popular to make butt sweaters from old wool sweaters.
I loved Cloud 9's, Elkebellas, Baby Moons, Sweet Pea, Molly Togs, Poochies...I was the first wahm to wholesale Kissaluvs - I remember when I got a box of 96 of them, in the yummy colors - blueberry, raspberry, buttersotch and more - I had them on my bed and I just hugged as many as I could get my arms around!!
Then she flaked on me so that was short lived
Then I started making my own ~baby carrots~, and they were my favorites.
Oh my favorites were mudpies, elbees, fireflys, lucy's hope chest (I think that is what they were called?), I also like grow my a rainbow prefitteds I used with a snappi.

My oldest 3 used prefolds and covers.. then came the good ones.
Righteous Baby were some of my favorite, Ann's wool covers were awesome, and the FLAG's were great too.
SOS', Firefly's, Cloud 9's, Poochies, Bizzy B Hive (loved these!), Sugarpeas Wool Covers, and then WIO's, Ivy Rose, Lucy's Hope Chest, Happy Heiny's and Molly Togs.
I'm sure there were more I'm forgetting, these are the ones that come to mind. My all time favorite was Fuzzi Bunz, no matter how many cutsie diapers I had, we always came back to FB's.
I remember adding up how much $ I had in diapers at one time with Adriana, and it was scary.
i loved mollytogs and cloud 9 softies. i still have about a dozen softies that i'm hoping to use on our new baby this summer. i also loved elbees with my second, but they weren't around when my first was a baby.

I love my own converted prefolds to prefitteds with Ruskovilla wool covers
Ivy rose wool covers with a snappi'ed prefold are wonderful as well.
My dd's have very short rises so a lot of fitteds don't work. I love fuzzi buns though...but I don't like synthetics....

I remember placing my first order for WAHM diapers. The reply was that my order would ship in about 3 weeks. I was shocked. I had a lot to learn about the WAHM world.
I mostly used prefolds when we first started. I loved Bellies and Buns side snaps. I actually got a dozen El Bee Baby at $12, it was right before they became the IT diaper. I also liked Angel Wraps, Daisy Doodles, Little Dumpling Diapers and for Mom's Day Out "preschool" I used Happy Heinys. DS's teacher was so great about going with the cloth.
I had so many diapers they were coming out of my ears. Many of the ones that I hated are still in a box in the basement barely used. I always felt really bad selling them, like I was trying to take advantage of someone.
I thought my clothe diaper obsession was over, but I was reading the Around the Town news magazine and in the schedule for January one of the kids stores is hosting a cloth diaper discussion. I called right then and registered. Mine have been out of diapers for 2 years.

Oh wow, I forgot about Angelwraps, wtheck is wrong with me, we had soo many Angelwraps, they were the ONLY AIO that we used, and we used them the whole time, that, Dewdrops & KiwiPie are the only ones we started fairly soon with, and were still using at the very end. Ahh, the Angelwraps, I still remember my fave. ones. *sniff sniff*

Ahh, Lizzie, I remember your diapers--Cumberbums. THey were perfect for dd#3--either she'd take off her diaper or dd#2 would take off dd#3's diaper! LOL! Perfect for under dresses.
