Also, I haven't decided what covers to use.
This is my issue! I love the idea of wool covers, but they're so much more expensive than the other types!! Yarg. I know I could knit my own soakers, but I don't know anyone IRL who's used wool.
I know people IRL who have used wool and swear by it, they wash it with some sort of special wool wash that doesn't effect the absorbency and helps keep the whole "wet dog" odor to a minimum. They are so darling when felted.

I am guessing that if you use cloth diapers you need a bigger diaper bag, right?
I really want a Vera Bradley bag. My mom gave me $60 for one so I only have to pay the difference.
I am trying to decide between the baby bag and the messenger bag.
Are either of those big enough to hold clean cloth diapers and a wet bag for the dirty ones, plus all the other baby stuff I'll need? I plan to mostly use AIOs and pockets which are pretty bulky.

I have 5 vera bradley purse and I love them!! They are $60 each, which is a lot, but they have all been given to me by my mom for high school graduation, birthdays and Christmas. They seem to hold up really well. The only purse that looks worn at all is the one I got for high school graduation in May of 2004.
I plan to use cloth wipes too. I have no clue how to use a sewing machine, but my best friend from high school has one and sews a lot so I think I will see if she can make some for me.

This is a great thread, and SO timely for us! I've got some really good info from the posts here. We're planning on using pocket nappies (diapers).
The one-size ones like BumGenius look most cost-effective to us, but I'm a bit skeptical about whether they really can be used from birth to potty training. Are they really that adjustable?

LOL...well, I can't specifically say for the Bum Genius, but we have some very VERY similar to those and they adjust easily from about size 1 through size 4 in disposable sizes. Once baby gets to about the size 5 disposable diapers they are getting a bit too tight around the middle...and my kids are not chubby, they are pretty skinny...so I guess it would differ if they were like Maggie's kids and little chubbsters. Usually by that size mine are ready to be potty trained, so we switch to training pants.[/color]
Thanks...this is really helpful. My worry was that a "one-size" nappy would be too big for a newborn -- I hadn't considered that the opposite might be true! I think we might go for another brand (I forget the name) which comes in two sizes that cover the whole nappy-wearing period.

Have any of you used Mommy's Touch diapers? I'm leaning toward them, but was wondering if anyone here has used them and what you thought?

Do any of you that use cloth diapers find that it makes the laundry situation overwhelming? yes or no?

I don't find it to be a problem. But we only start using them after about a month - when they're usually not going through quite as many as initially.

Will it work to use cloth diapers if I have a front loading washing machine now?
With our others we always had a top loader. I had a wet diaper pail, and I would simply dump the whole thing in there, rinse and then run a full wash cycle. I can't see that working with a front loader very well.
Anyone use a front loader successfully with cloth diapers?

and loved them. 
I have trouble imagining something knitted that wouldn't get soggy and heavy very quickly, but she said they were great.
