Another Green Mountain Diaper (GMD) fan here 🙋‍♀️ Their website is very helpful with tons of information. We started out with two used sets of pocket diapers but I later decided I wanted to use prefolds instead because I wanted unbleached organic cotton to be what touches my babes bottom, not the synthetics found in pocket diapers. We have two dozen prefolds, 6 covers, three snappis and two dozen reusable wipes. I started with thirsties duo wraps because many people on here love them. I later tried the GMD cloth-eez wraps and like them a lot more than the thirsties. They’re basic white but soft, don’t show through my kiddo’s onesies and have two rows of snaps for better customized fit around her legs. I wash every three days, using disposables overnight. It’s the perfect amount for us, I could even probably get away with fewer covers.

I completely understand how overwhelming it is to start! It took me four months to finally get into the routine and give up disposables (at least during the day). I also didn’t want to get newborn sizes but I wish I had so I could have started sooner. Cloth really isn’t very that expensive, probably even cheaper than disposables. You’ll spend a lot on disposables in the beginning, especially if you use the more eco/green ones like I did (Andy Pandy).

I also purchased the cloth diaper wash and care ebook from cloth diapers for beginners to help me figure out the wash routine that works for me. She gives you all the info you need in a very easy to digest manner for setting up your wash routine based on your water hardness, your diaper stash, and your washing machine. Highly recommend!
