Huggies are not the only diapers.
I would urge new parents to try cloth diapering! It can seem daunting at first with all the terminology, but no more so than learning to diaper with disposables. There are some great resources out there that help break everything down. It's how people have been diapering babies for centuries before disposable Pampers came along in the 60s.
For our first, I'm planning on trying cotton prefolds under wool covers. It's more of an upfront cost investment (a few hundred bucks, depending on where you buy them), but will save us money over the long run, not having to buy tons of boxes of diapers. Plus we're planning on reusing the same set for our second.
If anyone needs resources or has specific questions, let me know!
Our first was completely cloth diapered. Our second, we tried too, but for some reason every poop got out of it to the clothes and the increased amount of washing up was too much (imagine how many clothes can 4yo and 11mo stain combined). So now she has the cheapest disposables. When she starts pooping in the potty or at least learns to tell she pooped immediately, we will consider the cloth diapers again, but for now it's too much work.
