I agree with blueone. My ds2 is "squishy" right now at about 14 weeks, and he's only about one setting different (on our one size dipes) from my 2.5 yo ds1... It's true that the body shape just changes, so you will probably find they fit for quite a long time!

Green Acre Designs side-snapping pockets come in cool, big-kid color combos, and b/c they can be pre-snapped, he can pull them up and down like underwear. My 3 year old happily wore them and he named the color combos after superheroes (the blue/red was Spiderman, the red/blue was Superman, etc.)

I heard of that happening. One mom said that happened, and then when the baby got older she had to put it down to the middle rise again. My son is 4 months and we are pretty much on the unsnapped rise of our gro baby diapers. He's outgrown his cloths really fast too. I asked some people about it on the cloth diapering LJ and they said that it happens and that a lot of their kids still fit them at a year and at 2 years. Here's a good...

You might want to check out the Little Beetles at www.betterforbabies.com I used them on ds1 and now they are restyled and even better than before.

Interestingly, now that dd is a week and a half old, the umbilical cord has fallen off, and we're more settled in our routine, I find I am using prefolds during the day. I bought some AIO's to use at night because I really am horribly bumbly in the middle of the night and will forget everything I know. I even put fitteds on inside out! The prefolds are working fine during the day now that she is in her second week of life! I am...

I'd boil them, then wash with a few drops of dishsoap (they are all meant to remove grease & oils), dry them, and boil again for about 15 minutes, then through the wash one more time like you would normally wash them, then dry. That should be good enough.

I don't EC. In the beginning, I didn't even CD. Learning to breastfeed and recover from a c/s with a very colicky baby was enough for me. I see EC as early 'potty training'. Now, let me explain about potty training from what I know, aka what my mom told me: We don't potty train until the child ASKS for it. We let them come into the bathroom, watch both momma and daddy pee/poop, etc. If they ask or show interest in...

Wow. I really didn't realize EC was such a fringe idea. It seems like common sense to me. (And by that I do NOT mean, everyone who doesn't EC is ignorant! ) NOTE: EC does not = diaperless. So let's get back to the topic of why don't you EC? Not why don't you let your kid run around diaperless. I definitely wouldn't want to be dissing super-cute cloth diapers in the diapering forum I spent too much money on fluff...

you have to change more often w/ cloth (especially prefolds) than you do with disposables. Sometimes as much as every hour depending on your little ones wetting habits.
