Looking for the best cloth diapers for my 5 month old girl. She's 15 1bs. chunky thighs, but long--26". Any advice from
experienced users? Do you use pocket, all in one, fold with plastic pants? What brands and cost?
I'm looking to not use a diaper service, but will do my own washing.

What can I do next?

I LOVE the mother-ease diapers. (Not affiliated with them at all, though.) I also have some fuzzi bunz, but they tend to leak and the mother-ease have never ever leaked. Easy to wash and use- I only have the one size fits all and they have worked at every single age so far. (She's nine months now and a chunkster.) Way to use cloth!

I finally found my favorite cover after two years of cloth diapering! I love the Nikky covers from http://www.babyworks.com/catalog/product.asp?dept%5Fid=12.... My son has chunky thighs also and these covers are soft and stretchy. At night I use pocket diapers with a prefold. I would encourage you to join http://attachmentparenting.meetup.com/401/. It is a free group dedicated to cloth diapering. The groups consists of newbies, veterans and those trying to decide between cloth and disposables. The veterans can answer all your questions! Glad to hear you are chosing cloth. Your daughter and the environment thank you!

I swear by dydee diaper service. Yes it is still around and the trucks look exactly the same as they did in the 50's. it is economical and seriously so easy. just leave the dirty diapers on your porch the blue and pink truck drives up and leaves you a stack of clean ones. Use the diaper wraps with them instead of pins or other things and just get the size larger. DIapers also come in different sizes. I loved that for my duaghter and my youngest loves wearing a cloth diaper when she has a rash. it takes it away instantly.

As for covers, I love the Bummis Whisper Wrap. With both of my kids I used prefolds but also all in one's and pocket. My favorite pocket diaper is Fuzzi Bunz. It's been years, so I don't really remember what I paid. If you want to know where I bought my diapers from, email me directly and I'll see if I can find that info for you.
