Congratulations on the baby!!!!!! Just jump into it. They save so much money and since this is your first kid you'll have plenty of time to learn. I used lbb( cheap) ones as a daytime , charlie banana at night. Save your homemades which are probably better as a nighttime. ( if you choose to overnight cloth diapers) . Sometimes I cheated and used disposable overnight.

They have ones that allow the children to grow into them now so you dont have to keep buying the next size up. They lasted me 2 years now but he's now outgrown them.

The cons are of course going out ..., ugh its a pain in the butt but there are wet bags to hold the dirty diaper in until you get home. If I had any and we were going somewhere I just used disposable,why make life harder than it has to be?

Oh and dont be an idiot like I was omg they make reusable swimmers!!!!!! I didnt know until I had been through like 3 packs of swimmers (right at the end of summer...of course) and then it hit me like a ton of bricks how much of an idiot I was that if they make reusable diapers there must be swimmers too.

Wait had to add an edit if the baby is a boy make sure the pee pee is pointed down. No one told me that .I read the comment from somewhere on voat a while ago and it worked .

Adding more I hand washed them most of the time because it seemed to get the pee smell out more and the best soap I found for that (imo) is the white zote bar.
