Organic Cotton Pocket

I am trying to decide between bumGenius 3.0 Organic and regular bumGenius 3.0. I am sold on the organics because you don't have to mess with the pocket - it's basically a one-size all in one and I really like that idea. Also, it has a cotton inner so you don't have poly touching your baby's tooshie. The thing that is keeping me from deciding for sure is that if it doesn't have a pocket you can't make it more absorbent without using a doubler - if that's the case, then the cotton lining and the lack of a pocket are both pointless and not worth the extra money. So, are the organics absorbent enough to take the place of the pockets?

I have some of the new Organic BGs with snaps, and they are SO nice! If you turn them inside out and snap it together, the diaper dries easily in one cycle. ;) I have some original 3.0s, with aplix; they are great but I hated how fast the aplix wore out. From now on I ONLY buy snap diapers!

*The organic AIOS are not meant for night use. If you wanted to use them that way though, you can stuff an insert in there I guess. I prefer fitteds and prefolds at night.

We started cloth diapering our daughter about a week ago. When she was born, we had her in Pampers Swaddlers... these caused a serious rash. We then switched her to Huggies Pure and Natural (organic cotton, no dyes, etc.). She never ever had a rash in those. We decided to cloth diaper because the Pure and Natural diapers are EXPENSIVE and it's better for the environment. She did really well on cloth for about 2 days and then a HORRIBLE rash broke out. The diapers are simply cotton on the inside. Thinking it might be the cloth diapering "soap" (Charlie's environmentally-friendly wash) that I was using to wash them, I washed them a couple of times in the soap that we wash her clothes in (Method baby detergent). Still, rash was horrible. After 2 more days of this, I put her back in Huggies Pure and Natural and rash was gone within 12 hours. What in the world is in the cloth diapers that is causing this....? We were using Bumgenius pocket diapers. Any suggestions..?
I appreciate all the answers so far but I should add a few details...
Let me give you a timeline.. 3 days on Pampers.. rash.. 3 MONTHS on Huggies... not even a hint of redness.. 2 days on cloth... rash. I don't see how it is even remotely possible that it is a yeast issue.
We do use diaper cream on her (after every poo and if there is ever even a teeny bit of redness).. we also use Avalon Organics baby powder after a super-wet diaper (in the morning.. after a nap.. etc.) Great experiences with both but you can't put cream or powder in a cloth diaper.
Pocket diapers are the only way I can go with cloth. I am a working mom and daycare won't deal with prefolds and flats...

It sounds like your daughter has really sensitive skin. My son is like this.

Pocket diapers gave my son a *horrible horrible* diaper rash. We can't use them. It sounds like this may be the case with your daughter. We use prefolds fastened with a snappi, and a bummi's or prorap cover. They are super easy to use. I know you said you can't use prefolds because of your daycare situation. There ARE some fitted diapers with snaps that are made from the same breathable cotton material as prefolds, but they are much easier to put on than prefolds. I have some of them, and they are much more convenient than prefolds because you don't need a snappi. You just need a diaper cover.

Perhaps you can CD her when she is at home with prefolds, and send the Huggies pure & natural to the daycare. You might still save money. Its just a thought, as prefolds tend to be the most affordable option, and when used with a diaper cover and snappi, are pretty much leak proof.

When our son was two weeks old, his pediatrician told us to stop using baby wipes. Ever since then, we have been sticking his butt in the sink when he has a poop (well now the tub, since he is so big). You can also get some of those cheap birdseye diapers and just wet them to use as a wipe. I would avoid the chemical wipes, I even have doubts about the "chlorine free" wipes, and would limit their use to outside the home. They are quite expensive and from my experience, you have to use several for each poop!

ETA: I wanted to add that I agree with what the other poster is saying about the Charlie's soap. I have found that the Charlie's Soap causes a bit of build up. I use Bio Pac. You might consider using another detergent such as Bio-Kleen or Bio-Pac. If you are going to try a different detergent with the same diapers, you might want to strip your diapers first. There are numerous sites which give instructions for stripping.

Hi, I just started cloth diapering last week and I am so excited (read: obsessed lol). However, my baby seems more comfortable in disposables. Maybe I'm imagining it? I don't know. I thought he would be more comfy in cloth. Is your baby more comfortable in cloth? I know I would prefer cloth over disposables, but I just want him to be comfortable. I use organic cottons and bamboo velour and I change him often. At night I use a pocket or fleece topper with a wool soaker to keep the moisture away from his skin but my night diapers are SO bulky. Like, the size of a cantaloupe :-P. I dont know--maybe he is just not used to it since it's so new (he is 5 months old). I REALLY want to cloth diaper full time but I hate that he can't even move with the bulkiness of night diapers. And the covers over his fitteds all seem to leave red marks :-(. Any tips? I need help :-(. Thanks!

I have been cloth diapering my son for some time now and I have a few pieces of advice :) For one I love CD's!!! And I think that my son likes them too! And you do get used to the bulkiness of it all and you won't even notice it anymore. At night... who cares if the diaper is bulky?? Isn't it better to have your son wake up dry?

I only use pocket diapers (Happy Heiny One size) and at night I use one fleece insert one full size hemp insert and a small hemp oval (sometimes 2 ovals if he has had a bunch to drink right before bed). After sleeping for 11+ hours my boy wakes up with a dry bum and no red marks. So you might want to try a pocket at night :)

As far as movement/bulkiness... he will get better at moving around! Stick with it! I promise you won't regret it!

Good luck!
