Good to see you here.=) I keep wavering on this. My youngest is 4 and he is just using a pull-up at night. Some nights he actually wakes up dry. I just am not sure how much longer we're going to need these things and the start up costs are significant. I figure I would need 7 because I can't guarantee being able to do laundry more than once a week. If I'd started out using these, of course it would have been a savings, but now I keep thinking that any day we'll be all done. Anybody want to go halfsies on the bigger size to be saved for your little one when he's a preschooler? Hi Joanne! Good to see you here.=)

My 2 yr old was soaking through her disposables every night and my newborn was blowing out at least once a day now we have neither problem! Hurray!

Its Joanne, Eileens sister : ) This is exactly what we have been doing since Gabriel was born. We loved the way they kept his bum dry all night so much we went ahead and got some more, for outings etc. Just wanted to weigh in on the types: love the Fuzzibunz, great fit, easy to use The Happy Heiney we have almost always leaks, so I am not a fan The Bum Genius truly are genius and I don't know how they do it, but they truly fit all sizes well. We have some Wonderworks that are also supposed to be one size, but they don't really work well in the smaller sizes. But, my absolute FAVORITE pocket diaper, is one used Green Acres Design that was thrown in a lot from an ebay auction. Great fit, the trimmest of all (fits like a disposable!) and never leaks. I wish I had spend my wad on more of those! Hi, Joy! Its Joanne, Eileens sister : ) This is exactly what we have been doing since Gabriel was born.

I just figured out that you'll save around $50-$100 (or more?) a year with little to no extra work, since you were using cloth diapers the rest of the time anyway. (Even really cheap disposable diapers cost about $.15 each, and $.15 x 365 = $54.75.) That’s so great that you found a solution to your nighttime diaper dilemma, thanks to our wonderful readers!
