I use cloth at home and daycare. We use disposables when we vacation and do errands.
I'm thinking about using disposables at daycare...LO has 3-4 diaper changes at daycare.
Do you use cloth part time?

Yup we cloth part time. We do cloth mostly at home but disposables for nighttime. When we're out it just depends on what type of outing it is.

We used to be full time cloth diaperers, but we have moved to more part time as we travel and on some nights. I have found that LO's bum needs a break once in a while, so we keep disposables around.

For now, we're CDing part time, mainly because we don't have enough diapers to get us through more than a day without having to laundry on the daily. Since we do our laundry at MIL's home a couple blocks down the street, I'm trying to wait until we get more prefolds and fitted before going fulltime with it. For now we're using disposables at night and cloth during the day until we run out. LO is 2 weeks, so I figure sooner or later we'll just hop right in and go fulltime. I want to wit until we get more fitted diapers - we have been using prefolds and covers, but DH has a time folding the diapers and I think would be more apt at helping with changes if we used more fitted.

Cloth most of the time at home but disposables at night and if all the diapers are in the wash. Disposables also when we travel or take day trips.

Cloth at home during the day and disposables at night and when out of the house. It is amazing how much it saves with just using cloth during the day. I buy disposables maybe once every couple months, if that. I catch DH putting disposables on her though if shes due for a poop. He hates scraping slimy poop into the toilet! So do most people I suppose!

@autumnlove: I have thought about it but we have a septic tank and read some nasty things about liners and tanks? Maybe I need to research some more!

We do cloth full time, but if our nanny ends up not liking them we've agreed to try disposables while she's watching him. I hope it works out - We rarely have blowouts in cloth!

@Lindsay05: I don't flush our liners...I throw them in the Diaper Genie. We have old pipes!

I was fully intending to, but I'm still so intimidated about figuring out how to strip and wash and separate everything! They're still all wrapped up!

We do cloth during the day at home and daycare and most of the time when running short errands. We do disposables overnight and traveling. It has worked out well for us!

@shopaholic: it is so not hard!
@autumnlove: i thought i'd love liners but they just seemed like more work!
We have done cloth all day and disposies at night since he started not pooping overnight but now that he's not nursing overnight I'm trying cloth overnight again!

@scg00387: yeah, I guess I don't really need the liners anymore since her poops are solid and they pop off. I loved them when my toddler started solids...peanut buttery poops! Ewwh!

We do cloth full time, unles we are traveling more than 2 days without a w/d, then we use the grovia covers with their liners.

@aprk: I have a box of those somewhere! DH calls them the maxi pads!
@Lindsay05: I like Bumkins.

@autumnlove: haha. Ive found the grovia liners to be awesome. And I totally contemplated using one as a pad in an emergency before.
