Babies might be small and cute, but they can also be expensive.
Im currently on my second cloth-diapered kid.
Now, Im a cloth diaper pro.
Pocket diapers consist of a diaper cover and inserts that you stuff inside. Sharon Steinmann/The Penny Hoarder
I know what works for me and what Im willing to pay.
Pocket diapers consist of a diaper cover and inserts that you stuff inside that cover.
Youll need to wash the cover and inserts after each use.
I am using them with Liam as well and find them to be just as absorbent.
I paid $110 for 24 diapers, which works out to $4.58 per diaper.

Alva Babyoffersaffordable pocket diapers.
Alva Baby has a lot of different print choices, all of which are very cute and very affordable.
Local cloth diaper stores might also have consignment sales where you’re able to find deals.
Did you know?
I believe the prefolds I used were cotton.
you might buy prefold diapers very cheaply, so diapering this way is a great budget option.
And youll only need to wash the prefolds after each use rather than both the insert and the cover.
Rumparooz newborn covers cost $10 each, and one-size covers cost $14.
But sometimes, spending more on a pricier brand might be worth it.
I loved myGroViashells, said Goodwin.
My littlest was a skinny baby with skinny legs.
These fit her perfectly from about two months until she potty trained.
They had such cute prints, too!
If money wasnt an issue, Id [recommend buying] GroVia covers and inexpensive prefolds.
My friend Kathryn Dowell swears byAppleCheeksdiapers.
This Canadian company offers sized diapers as well as one-size diapers.
Prices range from $20.75 to $24 per diaper cover.
you might use them with cheap prefolds or stick with AppleCheeks brand inserts, depending on your budget.
[AppleCheeks] customer interaction and community… is a large part of why I choose them.
But the company aligns with a lot of my beliefs in other ways.
They are produced in Canada and hire local seamstresses, Dowell explained.
Dowell first discovered AppleCheeks when a friend sold her a starter stash for half the retail price.
She was so impressed with the company and the quality of the product that she quickly became a convert.
The quality will last through several children, she said.
[They are often] available on sale.
This can range from 15% off a regular diaper to 40% off a discontinued color.
The great thing about cloth diapers is that you could resell them when you dont need them anymore.
Catherine Hiles first started cloth diapering to do her part for the environment.
Now, she cant imagine using disposable diapers as a full-time option.
