Okay, so you’ve decided to cloth diaper probably because you know you’ll save thousands doing so not to mention the fact that you’re helping the environment and your baby’s precious skin.  But what next?  What does cloth diapering your baby entail?

The stash. You need a stash of diapers that will suit your cloth diapering needs.  The amount of diapers you should have will depend upon whether or not you will be using cloth diapers full time or part time.  A newborn will soil 8-12 diapers a day and an older child will soil 6-8 diapers a day.  I would suggest that you need enough cloth diapers to get you through at least two days of diaper changes if you’re going to cloth diaper full time.  If you are going to do it part time, any number of cloth diapers will help keep your disposable diaper bill down.  Even if you only use three cloth diapers a day, that means you won’t have to buy 90 disposables that month.

Newborn Cloth Diapers: Are They Worth the Investment?

My short and long answer to this would be, “Yes”. I didn’t start cloth diapering my daughter full-time until she was nearly two months old, so the dilemma of whether or not to purchase the itty bitty little creations was never one we were faced with.  Now that I feel cloth diapering is second-nature, I fully plan on starting it from day one with our next. Because of that, I have been conducting quite a bit of research on newborn diapers.
