(More customer reviews)This is our first baby. I'm an at-home mom, so I'm always looking for ways to save money. We used disposables for the first 6 weeks while we adjusted to parenting a newborn. Disposables are convenient but they really get costly! Figure about $10-15 per week for disposables diapers.
I started using the Kushies during the daytime and really love them! It took about two diaper changes for me to figure out the best way to put them on our 11 pound daughter. But, now that I know, they NEVER leak. Line up the diaper along baby's back at his/her natural waist. The front of the diaper will be considerably higher than the back, as there is plenty of room to grow. (As baby gets bigger, the front will line up closer and closer to the back.) Fasten the velcro and check the leg holes to make sure they're snug. If they're not, re-adjust the velco.
They're very easy to wash. I do not put water in my diaper pail, because that makes it too heavy. I run them through the soak cycle, then a normal warm wash with very little detergent, sometimes adding "super washing soda." Hanging them to dry outside, even on a cloudy day, truly eliminates all stains. You can also put them in the dryer. Putting them in the dryer makes them considerably softer. You can greatly diminish drying time by putting in a dry bath towel with the wet diapers. I recommend drying them on low heat with a dry towel added. If you fold the velcro tabs back (like the directions tell you to) they won't turn into a "diaper snake."
If you are considering cloth diapers, I recommend you answer these questions for yourself:
1. Do you have easy access to a washer and dryer and, preferably, a place to line dry?
2. Do you have the time and energy to wash diapers about every other day? (It doesn't take long.)
Remember that it doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing change. I use disposables at night and whenever we leave the house. I figure some is better than none.
When my daughter outgrew the infant size, we did switch to Fuzzi Bunz diapers. They are more expensive, but they hold more liquid and stay drier next the skin, as they are made of synthetic fabric. Kushies are nice because only cotton touches your baby's skin. However, you will have to change more frequently as cotton doesn't wick away liquid. There are many cloth diapering website that compare different brands.
I highly recommend cloth diapers. They will save you money in the long run, especially if you plan on having more than one child.
