Newborn cloth diapers are a much-argued area of cloth diapering. We started cloth diapering my daughter before she was even 1 day old. She is now nearly two years old and we still use cloth diapers full-time. Newborn cloth diapers are simple - and you can do it!

Some parents are afraid to start cloth diapering at the very beginning. They worry that the fabric may be stained with meconium (the nasty black poops babies have the first few days). Yes, meconium can stain. Using a diaper liner prevent stains and sunlight will take out any stains. Sunlight is a natural whitener and is inexpensive too!

The other major concern new parents have is that using cloth diapers will be so hard they can't do it while they are adjusting to parenting. There are easy cloth diapers and hard cloth diapers. Choose the easy ones and it will all be simple enough you can do it even in your sleep - and you will feel like you are sleep-walking those first few weeks.

Using cloth diaper wipes is much simpler than using disposables - and gentler on babies skin. Reusable wipes also work as inserts for heavy wetters.

The simplest newborn cloth diapers are all in one diapers. These are one-piece diapers that have a waterproof outer layer so they don't need a diaper cover. The inside has an absorbent soaker sewn in - so there is no need for stuffing or finding pieces in the wash. All in ones (AIOs) are as simple as cloth diapering gets for little ones of any size. They work just like a disposable except that they can be reused over and over - making your life easier since you never run out of diapers as long as you have access to a washing machine. A few popular AIOs include Lil Joeys and Little for Now all in ones.

The next most popular option is a fitted diaper with a waterproof diaper cover or a wool diaper cover. Popular fitted diapers include Kissaluvs and Little for Now sized fitteds. The most frugal option for newborn cloth diapers is prefolds with covers. Again, you can choose a waterproof cover or a wool diaper cover.

Chinese or Indian prefolds come in a teeny tiny size that will fit up to about 10 pounds and a larger "infant" size that will fit from about 7-15 pounds. The larger size may be a bit bulky the first couple of weeks, but they will fit much longer. The itty bitty size fits great for most newborns, but is quickly outgrown. Prefolds are very inexpensive, so you can easily buy two or three dozen and only have to wash every 2-3 days. Just be sure to get enough covers. You can get by for a few days with 4 covers, but you'll be a lot happier with 6-8 covers.

One size diapers may not fit will on a newborn, depending on the brand and the baby. Some brands don't fit well until close to 10 pounds.

To keep things super simple, we kept a zippered wet bag, a few diapers, reusable wipes and a bottle of wipes solution near our bed so midnight (or midday) diaper changes were as easy as possible. No matter which newborn cloth diapers you choose, you'll quickly adjust to using them.

Wait! Don't throw away $2,000 or more on diapers - save big money with cloth diapers. You'll love how cute your baby looks in newborn cloth diapers!

It might be disheartening to count up all the nappies that you would use during the course of your baby's development. Multiply that by 2, 3 or 4 children and the amount of nappy use is extraordinary. It's no wonder why so many parents try to soon to potty train their child. It's also no wonder why disposable nappies became so popular, due to their relative ease of use.

Now that many have chosen cloth nappies, Australia has many options for purchasing bulk nappies. So you can keep a clean conscience by using cloth and at the same time save some money by buying nappies wholesale. Good for baby; good for the environment and good for the pocketbook. Let's look at a few tips on purchasing bulk nappies.

## Research your Options

* Is your wholesale club near to your house? If it is, then it's a good choice. If it's far, then you'll have to spend more time and money just to stock up each time.

* Is your baby OK wearing any brand or material? Are there any skin sensitivities to consider?

* Are you really saving enough money to make the purchase worthwhile? You'll be spending a larger amount in batches so is it really worth it?

## Look Around

You may search online for wholesalers. Take note to check on the extra cost meant for delivery as well as managing the items. Make a price comparison between buying online and buying locally to make sure you're getting a good bargain. Also make sure to look for coupons that are valuable for your savings.

## Shop Wisely

Remember to check out the outlet's return policy. Let's say if you purchase a huge stock of nappies and they turn out to be the wrong size, what would you do? That's why you need to see if they allow you to return or exchange the item if they don't fit. For the worst case scenario, you can always sell them off locally or on eBay.

Take note that different brands have different nappy sizes. Check if you can take a look at the nappy you plan to purchase before placing a larger order.

If you make some time to do a little study on the price comparison between shops as well as the details pertaining to your purchase, you may well discover that you just save yourself a lot of money on your bulk nappies purchase. And since your child or children will actually use a whole lot of them throughout their first years, all this extra slogging to get them may just all be worth it.
