CD - for 1 yr and older

Resi · #1 May 19th, 2010, 07:21 AM

What is everyone using/buying for their toddlers? I think I want to buy some new cloth diapers but I don't want to waste money on something I won't like. We have dream eze and sposo ease right now. The dream eze is okay but don't like sposo ease.

I don't think Oliver will be ready to potty train for awhile (maybe 2 1/2?). Is it still worth buying more cloth? I think I would need at least 12 new diapers to get by.

Lily wore BG Organic AIOs until she potty trained at 2 1/2. Violet is currently wearing them as well, but I put her in a GM with a fleece cover overnight because the BGs just cannot handle her super-soaking nights. My kids pretty much just wear the BGs from the time they fit until potty training, it has made our cloth diapering system/process suuuuuper easy.

Kieran wears FB OS, BG OS (we have 1 organic and 3 pockets), M BG AIO's, and a couple GroBaby's. Seamus can wear the grobaby's and hes 47lbs.

Dustin is in Flips and he'll wear them until he potty trains. I really love them and will be buying more (since I'll have two in cloth soon, when new baby fits them). I just have 2 day packs and it works fine for every other day washing for us.

BG stopped fitting Oliver way before he reached 1 yr old. He has always been on the bottom of the weight scale too. I'm going to look into the Flips..

I'm no help to you on this one since we use BG 3.0s and I know you don't like those for Oliver.

Resi, our bg 3.0 fits snuggly on Dustin too! The tabs are close to the ends of the aplix and he has it all the way out in the large setting! But he's in the middle setting right now for the Flips and it's abit wider and bigger.

I should see if I could convince Curtis to put one on... he's almost 3.5 but hey, you never know when a little one will actually be fully potty trained! He's still having poop issues!

Yup I tried it on him and it fits perfectly, with room to spare. It took a lot of convincing haha.

I have pictures, just let me know if you want to see them.

Pictures?! of course I want to see them! haha

They aren't good. With my phone and a squirmy boy lol

Thanks for the pics. Those look like a good option.

Hmm, that's weird! Lily is petite but Miss Violet is definitely not. She's in the 95th percentile for her weight with super chunky thighs and is on the second tightest setting in the snaps. Lily was 30+ pounds when she potty trained and was on the third tightest setting.

I have no idea why they didn't last long. I have the BG on the biggest setting and I'm guessing this was around 9 months? He wasn't more than maybe 17-18 lbs with no rolls. He has always been slim and trim. The velcor would never stay and the diaper would pop right off. They just seemed way too small for him.

Were they the one size organics? I can't imagine there is a size difference between the snap and velcro versions but who knows. All of ours are snaps.

We had the BG 3.0's (not organic) OS with velcro. I wonder if the snaps would work better? I'm not sure if it's worth me trying out or not. I'm not the biggest fan of pockets either. I thought they were too bulky. Maybe I'm too picky.

Has anyone tried the AIO BG Sized diapers? Maybe I could give those a try?

Resi · #16 May 19th, 2010, 04:08 PM

Okay.. now I'm thinking about buying the sized BG's. Does anyone know of a site that offers a good deal or lowest price? How many do you think I would need? I change him about 6 times per day and I'm going to do a disposable at night most likely.
