Diapers

We use cloth diapers for Claire, and really like it! At this point, it's not gross at all (the #1 question I get asked). I just take the diaper off, put it in a diaper pail, and then throw them in the washer. They come clean just fine since we are just dealing with breastfed poop. When she starts eating solids, we plan to use liner so we can just take out of liner with the poop and flush it. Some people wanted to see pictures, so here are most of the ones we've tried (some I have several colors, but only posted one or two). Questions? Feel free to ask!

some terms so you aren't too confused-
aio: all-in-one
bg: bumgenius (brand)
bb: blueberry (brand)
os: one-size
pul: polyurethane laminated fabric, what most covers are made of, on the outside of pockets and aios
snappi: a little stretchy thing with teeth that grab the cloth, used in place of pins

Types of diapers-
fitted: has elastic, fastens with snaps or velcro, requires a cover
flat: single layer fabric you fold, pin or snappi, requires a cover
prefold: also use these as burp cloths, pin or snappi, requires a cover
pocket: layer of pul and a layer of something like fleece or suedecloth with as opening where you stuff inserts aka the absorbing material
aio- just what it sounds like, doesn't require anything extra, just put the diaper on
ai2- snap in the insert so it's like an aio, but no stuffing so it's easier than a pocket

Dude! You have a rockin' stash. Mine is boring... maybe I should go buy some more.
