How many weeks/months did you use disposables before you switched to CDs?
-
We waited until the umbilical cord stump fell out, which was right around 2 weeks.
-
We waited until 2 1/2 months. We wanted to get a good routine and kind of get used to being parents before we threw cloth diapering in there too.
-
We waited till our LO met the minimum weight limit which was 8 pounds. Lucas was 7.5 at birth, dropped significantly in the first few days and then 8 lbs by week 3.
-
10 days. We used newborn thirsties for about a month before switching to one size flips.
-
I"ve been wanted to cloth diaper since way before I was even pregnant, but now that my little one is here, I've decided to wait til he sleeps more consistently, cuz I just am afraid of adding one more thing. Ahhh, the sleep deprivation....he's three months now and I'm hoping to take the plunge soon.
-
We waited until about 4 weeks... once all of the visitors had come and gone. We still use disposables at night.
-
Two weeks. She was a big baby and that's all it took for her to grow out of newborn diapers.
-
Almost a week!
-
2.5 months. I was afraid to make the transition and wanted to use up all the newborn diapers I bought. My LO was tiny (less than 6 lbs at birth), and he probably fit into his cloth diapers around 2 months. It took a while for me to prepare and transition.
-
I was scared to make the switch too bc disposables were so easy...so I think around 8 weeks I finally switched to gdiapers (flushable mostly in the beginning)
-
4 days until we were sure all the meconium was gone.
-
We waited 14 days, at which point his umbilical cord had fallen off and the base healed.
-
I waited until we moved into our new house... she was about 3 months.
-
10 days!
-
I switched right around 3 weeks. LO was about 9 1/2 lbs when we switched.
-
With our first, we started right away with a diaper service for six months, then switched to doing our own.
With number two, we started on disposables and switched at about 1 month, once my stash of little disposables was just about gone! -
We started at 3 weeks and then switched back. People might say it's the wrong reason to stop, but DS goes through about 17 diapers a day. Way too much to handle with 2 LO's and running a business from home.
-
We made the switch just before she hit two weeks. Unfortunately LO developed some serious diaper rash after 48h in her BumGenius 4.0s, the pediatrician told us she thought it was an allergy to the cloth and to switch back to disposables
The rash is clearing up now, and in a few weeks I'm going to try and gradually introduce the cloth diapers again. I REALLY hope she isn't allergic, I invested in 26 diapers!
-
about a week, we waited for the meconum to pass through.
-
6 weeks! We decided not to give ourselves any pressure and just waited until everything calmed down a bit. Also i was still doing things like reasearching the detergent I wanted to use and prepping the diapers etc when he was first born. We'll start a bit earlier for the next baby I'm sure, but take your time!
-
5 days to flushable gDiapers, and a few weeks till we used the cloth (Small size). We only used the flushables in the newborn pants, and the cloth and flushies in the small and medium pants.
-
We started when DS was a week old. It was just too much to worry about the first week, especially being at the hospital the first few days. Also we heard that the meconium from the first few days leaves impossible stains.
The rash is clearing up now, and in a few weeks I'm going to try and gradually introduce the cloth diapers again. I REALLY hope she isn't allergic, I invested in 26 diapers!
