I think I'll stick with disposables at night and when the 2nd baby is born, to ease into life with two and recovery with less laundry :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-cloth-diapers-with-2ndlast-baby#post-1859199 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 21:05:14 +0000 blackbird 1859199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them. Doing both (disposable at daycare), we broke even at a year. Full time, it was six months. I like having options. I can always keep a disposable in my car for emergencies-sometimes I forgot to even take a diaper bag places. I would definitely do it. I'm super pro cloth. It's so easy, IMO. Wash. Liners in trash. Done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-cloth-diapers-with-2ndlast-baby#post-1859152 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 20:41:38 +0000 Arden 1859152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh for sure. I can't imagine not using cloth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-cloth-diapers-with-2ndlast-baby#post-1859089 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 20:23:03 +0000 immabeetoo 1859089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone I know went back and forth and then wishes she had; Her LO had physical issues that kept her in dipes until age 4. You just never know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-cloth-diapers-with-2ndlast-baby#post-1858984 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 19:54:01 +0000 avivoca 1858984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do it! I love my cloth, and you can use less expensive diaper systems. I didn't use them regularly until about 12 weeks and it's already saved us so much money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-cloth-diapers-with-2ndlast-baby#post-1858814 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:57:14 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1858814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, do it! My ex-husband was very anti-cloth, and so we did disposables, but once we were separated I started Ellie in cloth. She was 10 months. She was in underwear at 24 months. Lorelei was cloth from (almost) day one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-cloth-diapers-with-2ndlast-baby#post-1858807 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:55:09 +0000 Boheme 1858807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, absolutely! I love them, and I think we're only having 1 LO :) Don't be intimidated...I've found them to be super easy. Laundry isn't bad at all. PM me on FB if you want details!</p> <p>They're cute. They don't leak. I never run out of diapers. I can re-sell them. No poopsplosions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-cloth-diapers-with-2ndlast-baby#post-1858803 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:54:10 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1858803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whoa! Per kid?? We didn't come up with nearly that savings when we calculated it out. About $250 for the first kid and about $850 for each kid after that. But we bought more expensive diapers instead of pre folds/covers and we were buying luvs brand diapers in bulk, so our cost per diaper was really pretty low. We also accounted for water use and detergent in our comparison...but that only made a small difference. </p> <p>The no more poopsplosion is reason enough for me!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-cloth-diapers-with-2ndlast-baby#post-1858781 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:46:40 +0000 Vegmama 1858781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: I calculated the savings to be about $2,500 if you use cloth vs. traditional disposable, and about $4,200 if you use cloth vs. an organic brand. We would have used an organic brand, so for us, it was mainly cost savings. I also loved the eco part, how cute they are, and the fact that we've never had a poopsplosion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-cloth-diapers-with-2ndlast-baby#post-1858772 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:44:16 +0000 Vegmama 1858772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the diapers already, so yes. But, if I didn't already have them, yes I would. The cost savings alone is enough of an incentive (thousands of dollars). I believe for hard water, they just recommend using a mainstream detergent, like Tide, as opposed to a more eco friendly one. I'm sure each diaper company has it's own recommendations. We use BumGenius 4.0 and love them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-cloth-diapers-with-2ndlast-baby#post-1858766 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:41:51 +0000 sorrycharlie 1858766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: lol..that's kinda what I'm thinkin too</p> <p>@Mrs. Lion: yeah..I think I lost my window on money savings! oh well :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-cloth-diapers-with-2ndlast-baby#post-1858764 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:40:50 +0000 Bao 1858764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I were going to I would get a few used ones and see how it went first! You can always resell them. I thought about it for about 3 seconds once ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-cloth-diapers-with-2ndlast-baby#post-1858742 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:27:06 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1858742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably wouldnt if i didnt already have the diapers, mostly because of the lack of cost savings. You save a little with the first kid, but the big savings are with subsequent children. </p> <p>Unless of course your main reason isnt cost, then sure! You may be able to get a used lot for pretty inexpensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-cloth-diapers-with-2ndlast-baby#post-1858729 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:17:51 +0000 sorrycharlie 1858729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use disposable with DD but during my pregnancy I had wanted to cloth diaper. I gave up on it because we have such hard water I didn't want to deal with the headache of washing a million times.</p> <p>I'm stocked on disposables for DD2 for her first 4 months or so, but still have that "wish I could've cloth diapered" feeling!</p> <p>I'm too intimidated, though! </p>
