The cost and trash for 3 in disposables is outrageous anyway, and while laundry is a pain, it really isn't that bad. I would probably use the dryer more rather than hang to dry though. It takes about 8-10 hours to hang dry depending on the kind of diaper, and you can get away with fewer dipes if the laundry turnover time is less. I do know several people who have had 2-4 kids in diapers at once and used cloth, so it is definitely possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cloth-diaper-with-your-multiples-or-with-kids-that-were-in-diapers-at-the-same-time#post-141537 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 03:15:59 +0000 looch 141537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as there is a system, I don't think it's that big of a deal. If I were CDing multiples, I'd love to have another washing machine, like a cheapie top loader, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cloth-diaper-with-your-multiples-or-with-kids-that-were-in-diapers-at-the-same-time#post-141364 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 17:09:53 +0000 pastemoo 141364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well... if she uses disposables, she'll have 3x the trash, too, so if her trash can is as far away as mine is, CD might still be the better option.</p> <p>Is her washer/dryer in the home? If so, I think she can do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cloth-diaper-with-your-multiples-or-with-kids-that-were-in-diapers-at-the-same-time#post-141358 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 17:04:13 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 141358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a baby and a toddler in cloth and it's fine. I have to do laundry more often for the baby so the toddler's diapers don't sit around long enough to stink up the house :) I can't imagine triplets, though. That's so many diapers no matter how you look at it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cloth-diaper-with-your-multiples-or-with-kids-that-were-in-diapers-at-the-same-time#post-141351 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:51:28 +0000 chopsuey 141351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: My LO had about 3-4 poopie diapers a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cloth-diaper-with-your-multiples-or-with-kids-that-were-in-diapers-at-the-same-time#post-141347 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:48:27 +0000 heffalump 141347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: we started lo with cloth at 2 weeks. She only had one poo a day usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cloth-diaper-with-your-multiples-or-with-kids-that-were-in-diapers-at-the-same-time#post-141342 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:46:34 +0000 chopsuey 141342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes to your friend!! I can't imagine cloth diapering in the early months. LO had about 12-15 wet/poopy diapers a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cloth-diaper-with-your-multiples-or-with-kids-that-were-in-diapers-at-the-same-time#post-141302 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 15:18:50 +0000 heffalump 141302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this... I know I hated when people would tell me I'd never last with cloth, but it's a very different situation! She doesn't know yet. I have all in ones and love them, but she'll have to buy 3 times as many so I have a feeling she'll just have to buy what's on sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cloth-diaper-with-your-multiples-or-with-kids-that-were-in-diapers-at-the-same-time#post-141295 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 14:58:48 +0000 autumnlove 141295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh jeez, I can't imagine! One in cloth is hard enough! Is she planning on using economical prefolds and covers or all in ones, etc? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-cloth-diaper-with-your-multiples-or-with-kids-that-were-in-diapers-at-the-same-time#post-141270 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 13:41:14 +0000 heffalump 141270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who's pregnant with triplets who plans to cloth diaper. My LO is cloth diapered, and I'm a huge fan of it, but I'm also worried for the amount of laundry she'll have. She says what I said, you're going to have lots of laundry so what's one more load? But she'll have triple the laundry.....</p> <p>Did you cloth diaper with more than one? Was it rough? </p>
