I have sometimes had to nearly sit on them to change a diaper. However, I can change a disposable just as fast as a prefold with cover. And as a seasoned cloth diaper user who has used ALL kinds of diapers (pocket, fitted with cover, AIO), I can now say that my FAVORITE is prefolds with cover.<br /><br />Look how easy: http://www.eco-novice.com/2010/09/coth-diaper-tutorial-easiest-way-to-use.html<br /><br />But I think I liked pocket diapers best in the beginning too.<br /><br />On another note, I take the resistance to diaper changes as a sign of potty readiness. My daughter much prefers me taking off her diaper while she is standing (holding my legs -- she's 18 months but not yet walking) before she sits on the potty, and when I finally switch to underwear, I'm sure she'll appreciate being able to stand/sit while I put underwear on. If you are feeling overwhelmed, early potty training is probably not something you are going to want to jump into right away, I'm guessing. Just a thought though.Betsy (Eco-novice)http://www.eco-novice.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-24408867778006963972011-01-28T18:42:44.640-08:002011-01-28T18:42:44.640-08:00OH @LeLe One more note...Jillians Drawers had SWE...OH @LeLe One more note...Jillians Drawers had SWEET Black Friday deals this year.

Since your son is so young and little, try sitting on your bum with your legs in front of you. Hold him by his rib cage with your feet. That's what I have to do with Landon sometimes. When it's really bad, I put my thigh over his stomach so he's really stuck and get that diaper on as fast as I can! Those little boys sure are squirmers..Nisha https://www.blogger.com/profile/14177523450388267730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-53336368220125819012011-01-28T17:06:12.536-08:002011-01-28T17:06:12.536-08:00Nisha did a post over at my blog (theparsimoniousp...Nisha did a post over at my blog (theparsimoniousprincess.blogspot.com) about CDing and I was convinced to try it. I'm totally geared up to do cloth diapers with baby #2. I've done lots of research and it doesn't seem like it will be that bad. <br /><br />I'm pretty much sold on the pocket diapers. Plus, they're the only kind my husband is on board to use (he refuses to deal with the prefolds). One site that is awesome is GoGreen Pocket Diapers. They range in price from $9-15 each. The reviews I read were great so I ordered some of the regular ones and the Champ ones (the ones that cost $15, but they were running a sale). They seem really nice and comparable to the usually pricey Bummi Easy Fit diapers I also picked up (also on sale -- an online store was having a close-out sale). It seems a little intimidating, but I figure if my mom cloth diapered me and my three brothers, using prefolds and those crappy plastic covers back in the 1980s, I figure I can make it work for me!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213514826661790158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-64997031923257106752011-01-28T10:50:10.972-08:002011-01-28T10:50:10.972-08:00I started using cloth diapers on my son when he wa...I started using cloth diapers on my son when he was 4-months old (back in September). I LOVE not having to buy diapers when I go shopping, but honestly, the worst part for me right now is actually getting the diaper on him. He's almost 9 months and just started crawling earlier this month and all he wants to do is flip over and take off crawling in his bare butt and then pull up in his crib! We recently had several family issues come up (death in the family and husband had to have surgery) so I hate to admit that we've been going the disposable route ever since. We were actually a part-time cloth diaper family, as my son stays with my MIL on Tuesdays and Thursdays and she wouldn't agree to CD'ing. He stays with my mom the rest of the week and she has been on board (yay!).<br /><br />I use mainly prefolds and only have a few pocket diapers. If my stash was all pocket diapers, I think I wouldn't have as much of a problem but getting a prefold and cover on a VERY wiggly and mobile baby is just too hard right now. Any suggestions? I plan to go back eventually but I'm just so worn out right now from wrestling with him on everything else. He's already showing his strong will and he's not even a year old yet! And I can't afford to get very many pocket diapers (limited budget) at the moment, so I don't know when we'll be able to go back.LeLehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789410692486191482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-705762899423892292011-01-27T12:57:29.857-08:002011-01-27T12:57:29.857-08:00Oh, you are right!

We have a shower head that I can bring over the toilet to spray off the diapers and it's so easy! <br /><br />Thanks for the links on nighttime diapering solutions. I'm going to check it out because I really don't want to buy any disposables!!Nisha https://www.blogger.com/profile/14177523450388267730noreply@blogger.com
