S.S.
My family also cloth diapers on a budget! We used prefolds and Kushies (the cheapest fitted diapers I could find online) with my two children!. I don't remember having too many problems with my daughter (now 4) but my son (2) has always been a heavy wetter! We tried a number of things but finally decided to invest in a just a couple of "Fuzzibunz" pocket style diapers and a few nice covers to use for overnights. I do like them, and the fleece on the inside of them seems to always feel dry somehow. At one point I looked into sewing some diapers and bookmarked the website fernandfaerie.com/frugaldiapering.html (still have not gotten around to actually sewing any... so I have not actually tried them!) The site has some free patterns for fitted diapers including a "stuffable" version like the fuzzibunz. They use recycled clothing (like t-shirts and wool sweaters). I plan on trying the stuffable pattern using some cotton fleece for the inside. The site also has some cute patterns for sale. Good for you for cloth diapering and I hope you can find something that works for you and baby! You will save money no matter what!
