help with Fuzzi Bunz perfect size diapers...?
My daughter usually wears Bumgenius 3.0 and the one by Goodmama... however, these are both too bulky to wear under tight-fitting clothes. My best friend suggested by a couple of Fuzzi Bunz perfect-size diapers just for wearing with tight clothes. I purchased two mediums because of the age recommendations. My daughter is 8 months and it says that small is for 0-6 months. My girl is very petite in body size but is extremely long. The mediums are HUGE. They won't be fitting her anytime soon. I thought about purchasing some smalls but didn't know if they would fit her for long. Anyone have experience with these diapers? What is the size difference in the small and the medium? I buy*.. whoops :)

Fitted cloth diapers.... opinions?
Okay, here is my cloth diapering situation... prefolds and Thirsties for use at home... Bumgenius 3.0 and Blueberry Minky one-size pocket diapers go to the babysitter's house and out for long errands... Fuzzi Bunz perfect size pocket diapers (much trimmer than Bumgenius and Blueberry) for wear under tight clothes and jeans... My daughter is 7 months old now and she is really outgrowing the whole prefold thing.. she is becoming such a heavy wetter that I can't seem to keep her dry.. I know you can add this and that to the prefold (extra layers, fleece, whatever..) in order to keep baby's skin dry BUT I don't really want to make my situation more difficult. I work full-time and whatnot... SO.. I would like a good, TRIM, fitted diaper so that I can continue to use my Thirsties once I ditch the prefolds. Any direction would be nice. I have heard so many things.. my best friend swears by goodmamas but I have read so much garbage about them... any opinions, suggestions, experiences....? By the way, money isn't completely any option... I don't just want cheap options. I am looking for quality, being able to use them for another child, etc...

I need cloth diaper and reusable wipe advice!?
I decided that when I buy the right cloth diapers, I really love cloth diapering! But I have some questions... First is, does anyone know how I'm supposed to use this solution? Is this a laundry booster or is this used as my detergent? http://www.diapers.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?productId=24352 Is this used in every wash or is it a once in a while thing? I also decided since I was washing the diapers anyway, I may as well use washable wipes. It makes it easier for me, not having to have a rubbish can near me. But is there a reason as to why I should not use cotton reusable wipes? Every store bought wipe I find is flannel and when I looked up make your own washable wipes... It never says I can use cotton. Why? I just got some cotton blankets we never use and cut them up. I have not used them yet, is there a reason as to why I can't use cotton reusable wipes? What is the best material and why? Also, what do you use to wet your wipes? My baby has sensitive skin but often times has poops that make him smell even after I wipe him really well. (He also still has pretty soft stools). So he needs more than just water for poops. What can I use that will freshen him up but that is mild? The sights I looked at have things like vinegar, tea tree, witch hazel, those would be too harsh on his skin He uses Burt's Baby Bee products, can I use some of his Baby Bee soap with water? I also have Baby bee Apricot oil? I am also very curious about your system for cloth diapers and wipes... Explain your system to me... I have only been using my new diapers for a few days now but so far this is my system... -For both pee and poo I use a diaper sprayer and rinse them. For the ones with the tough poo I use Bio-Kleen bac-out and let them sit for a while in the pail. -I wash them every other day and have been using Seventh Generation detergent. I bought the Bambino Mio stuff but am not sure how often I am supposed to use it. -Then I hang dry them. I have so far only been needing to run them through the wash once per load... I think it's because I've been using the diaper sprayer right after I change him. Also, how many cloth do you have? What kinds? Which are your favorite and why? And how old is your baby? Mine is almost 10 months. He has one Happy Heiny (I don't like the fit on him and am glad I only got one). 4 Fuzzi Bunz, they seem more comfortable for him, and more absorbent... But the snaps can be a pain when he's being resistant. And 8 Thristies AIO, they fit him really snug and better than disposable ever did. I have to say that so far I prefer Thristies. They are easy and I love the fit. It also has a pocket to stuff more soakers in if I need it. Also, if you've taken a longer trip... Did you bring the cloth with you or did you use disposable? How many did you bring and did you regret using cloth on the trip after the fact? Thanks! Thanks Tamara, you're right about disposable diapers stinking to high heaven after sitting for a bit lol. I like the chamomile tea idea, that should be really gentle as well. My son's skin would get red and irritated in his leg cracks because he has chunky thigs. I've tried different disposable but they always rub the inside of his thighs. So far the cloth hasn't been doing that to him. I love them! To me, they are more work than disposable but there is actually a reward that comes with cloth. Better for baby, helping the environment and saving money! Thank you for all your info :) PS... I already have a diaper gennie and a full stock of the liners... I would hate to waste them, do you know if I can use the diaper gennie for my cloth diapers or do they need to stay in the more aired out pail? On care instruction they said store in dry pail between washings... I have just been using a regular pail with a lid so far.
