🙋🏼I do!! I've cloth diapered 2 kids now 24/7 mostly. I use babyganfics disposables on vacation.
I used all kinds of cloth diapers (pockets, fitteds, AIO, ai2) on my son and now now with my daughter I'm keeping it as simple as possible. GroVia are my favorite. I use primarily AIO's. I love their solids and prints! I also have some GroVia h/l hybrids, thirsties organic AIO's (pretty plain) and RagaBabe 2steps. Those are all h/l for the nanny and my husband. I don't mind snaps.
When my DD was still nursing through the night I used fitteds and wool. Nothing else contained her heavy wetting. Now that she STTN she does well in a GroVia ONE for nights. They are bulky but they last. I only use those for nights though. I looooove how trim the GroVia AIO's are for Day and under clothes. They are amazing!!

fuzzylogic , I'm dying that yh said he needed the tea time one. Mh is either "that's cute" or "meh" on most of them. He's only been really excited about one print and you can bet your ass we got that one. To your other point about being wet on her pjs, that's exactly how K wakes up 4/5 nights. Where it's damp/wet around where her diaper is but not enough to soak the sheets. Yogurt , I have not tried using wool yet. I guess, I could probably knit my own, but I have no idea how to wash and take care of them. One thing I read said you had to retreat with lanolin. Are they easy to use? Also for the fleece, did you just go buy fleece from a craft store or are they specifically made for diapers? cmb , K didn't fit into OS until almost 8 months. We used Small Fuzzibunz at DC because that was all that would fit her. Then randomly one day around 8/9 months they started leaking and no amount of troubleshooting could fix them. I think her thighs were too small for the trim fit as she got longer but not wider. I used to joke that she would be potty trained by the time she was able to fit into the OS. miawallace , if I SAH I would probably only used prefolds and covers since hands down they work the best. We used pocket and AIOs because it's too much for DC. K is the only one in cloth there and they were nice enough to go through a bunch of red tape (had to write a proposal to the state in conjunction with their school nurse) so we could use them. I get panicky when she has bad leak days that they are going to say no more cloth, but they've been wonderful about them. My mother made a bunch of bamboo inserts and they work great, but are still not enough for nighttime. For such a small kid, she produces a crazy amount of pee. scorpioscuba, we mostly use snaps. I only have one h&l in RaR Firetrucks because I found it for a good price on it. TTM about wool. Did you use a cover and then the wool or just the wool over the fitted? How did she not get soaked?

sheilathetank I am a knitter and I would not bother knitting my own. The diasana are like 20 bucks on Amazon and you'd have to use the finest laceweight and it just doesn't seem worth it. Care: before the first use and every 2 weeks or so soak in warm water, with euclan, then drain water and add a few drops of lanolin and fill sink again with warm water, lanolin is available on amazon. Soak shorts for 20 min or so and let dry in the sun. Wool absorbs a ton and doesn't need to be cleaned every night. I do own two pair in her size because the wool takes a couple days to dry. They are a good sleep association as well. Night night pants. The fleece is the cheap ass "no pill fleece" sold for like 2 bucks a yard in the fabric dept of Wal-Mart. Good luck finding what works for you.

If you want to try wool, I think I have one disana cover, euclan and lanolin that I never used. I will see if I can find it today, it's possible I donated it with a few other diapers a month or so ago.

bumping this to ask a question. I got a used wool diaper cover off ebay and that's been working really well over her cover at night. Yogurt, or anyone else who knows about wool covers, can you use the lanolin stuff that you put on your nipples when breastfeeding, to relanolize the cover or do you need a specific kind of lanolin? I feel like this is an insanely stupid question, but I have bunch of those little lanolin tubes leftover from when I was breastfeeding and I hate buying shit if I don't need it.
