When my daughter was about 5 months I started using bum genius all in ones on her. I received 6 as a gift and would use them all in a day and then do laundry at night. I eventually bought another 6 so I could go every other day. They worked pretty good for us, although my daughter did get rashes here and there, so I would just let her go naked a little while between changes. I did cloth to save money on diapers, and I think I did save since I didn't buy a ton of the bummies and I didn't buy any of the extras like wet bags or special detergent. I went back to disposables when my daughter was 16 months because I had another baby and I was just too whooped. Since then I've gone back and forth. My oldest is now potty trained (hallelujah) and I'm using the bummies again on my almost 2 year old who's interested in using the potty now.
I think the best thing for getting the urine smell out of the diapers is to leave them out in the sun to dry. It bleaches stains out too. I found that in the winter when I couldn't put them out to dry they would retain the stink a lot more.
