looking for affordable cloth diapers?

I am a married mother of 2 kids ages 15 months and 7 weeks. I am on a very tight budget. I am trying to keep all these disposables out of the landfill. My daughter is allergic to diaper rash creams and now that she is sleeping through the night she stays in her pee more and is developing a rash. I have 5 prefolds and 1 cover for her and 7 prefolds and 1 cover for my son. I am washing diapers everyday sometimes I do 2 loads a day because the baby uses more. I would love to know where I can purchase cheap diapers. Brand dosen't matter. Thanks

    The advice that I give everyone is to look long term at cloth diapers. I used them for all 4 of my kids and here is the best tip ever.

    Use adjustable cloth diapers. Using prefolds and covers is going to lead to leaks eventually as your child grows. Plus, these and other cloth diapers have to be traded up for as the baby grows. There are adjustable pocket diapers out there that do the trick wonderfully. With these you can use the same exact diaper size from new born to 35 pounds. That ends up saving tons of money because these no other sizes you need to buy.

    Of course they are a bit more expensive in the beginning but will save you a good $400 at least in the end.

    I recommend Tiny Tush Elites. They are about $18 per diaper. The same set has lasted through all of my kids. Trust me, while other diapers seem cheaper, they arent.

    initially, textile diapers do no longer soak up very lots so employing them like people use diapers right this moment skill a lot of diaper differences and laundry. in spite of the undeniable fact that, in case you utilize removal communique, you will shop the diaper use under administration. merely google it. it is in certainty tuning in on your infant's cues so which you would be able to tell whilst they should pee or poop and then getting them to the bathroom so as that they could do it there. That way, you do no longer use lots of diapers. there is a superb form of reward to it. the final is that your lots extra in track which comprise your infant and can anticipate different needs they have extra helpful too. Secondly, you do no longer ought to pay out a ton of money to get textile diapers. i comprehend, right this moment's diaper covers and whatnot are so cute and handy, yet i desire to propose sorting out making your very own first. you're able to as properly fold up previous person t-shirts into diapers with out doing any stitching in any respect. I want the diaper with a separate cover, or no cover in any respect, by way of fact it is lots much less annoying to bathe and much less laundry. With the two pocket diapers and all in ones, you ought to bathe the full diaper each and every time you substitute your infant and that could get severe--exceptionally if infant is unwell (ewww!). With a separate cover, you may reuse the canopy persistently except it gets poop on it. it is not to any extent further concern than an multi functional considering you basically placed the diaper interior the canopy and stick it top on. it is far extra handy than a pocket diaper by way of fact those could be puzzling to stuff after which you ought to unstuff them whilst they are grimy. As for the showering device, with a 17 month previous, you ought to have already got a exceptionally sturdy theory what poop does to machines--no longer something. Diapers won't upload that quite extra waste. you may sell off the unfastened poop into the bathroom in the previous putting it interior the diaper pail, or extra helpful yet, purchase flushable diaper liners which you would be able to easily throw in and flush. some people use bathroom sprayers, too. in case you have a bath with a hose, you need to use that to spray the diaper over the bathroom in the previous putting it interior the pail. verify with the manufacture of the diapers you purchase for the thank you to bathe them.
