We are using cloth diapers in an apartment. We had a service for the first month and a half which was great - but i didn't love the type of diaper they used.

We now use Bumgenius all in ones which function just like a disposable, except you wash them. It's only one piece - not a flat and a cover and they have a microfleece lining so they can be worn a lot longer than a cotton diaper.

Two or three times a week we take the diapers (we own 15) to the basement laundry. Poopy diapers get a quick rinse in the laundry room sink followed by a squirt of Bac-Out. We use All free & clear. I've tried other more natural detergents - but All is definitely the best. Wash on the hot cycle, then in the dryer. Sometimes the diapers don't dry all the way and then I just hang them in the bathroom for a couple hours.

We have no stink problems and zero diaper rash.

We do use disposables over night just because I think it's worth it just to get more sleep!

One more thing - I bought a little waterproof wetbag from one of the cloth diaper stores online and i just keep that in the diaper bag to hold wet nappies while we're out and then wash it with the diapers.

Hope this helps!

i also ordered a crib & changing table right away from target.com... but it still hasn't arrived. they emailed me multiple times saying that it was delayed and now they don't have any information and basically don't know what happened. yesterday i got a really nice email saying that they would send me a new shipment with both items - but they don't have any shipping date because the item is backordered. this is all super frustrating since my baby is due at the end of march...now i'm thinking i should just cancel the order if it will stink up the whole apartment once it finally gets here. has anyone had this sort of shipping problem with target.com before?
