    Question Bummis?

    So as I am gearing up for baby, I realized it might be nice to get some advice from you guys about cloth diapers. I am very new to this whole thing, but am going to do it for the environment and because I hear it is better on babies bum. So after doing some research his is what I bought.

    2 Preemie Bummi's Diaper Covers (Size 4-8lbs) (I am expecting a small baby)
    3 NB Bummi's Diaper Covers (Size 7-12lbs)
    24 Indian Prefolds (size NB-S)
    12 Preemie Prefolds
    2 snappi's
    4 sets of diaper pins

    also... (at baby shower I recieved)

    1 Organic Caboose fitted cloth diaper (very nice but expensive)
    4 Small Prefolds with designs

    Does this sound like a good set up?
    What is the best way to clean cloth diapers? I am breastfeeding and I heard you do not have to clean off the poo if you are breastfeeding.

    Firstly, if you have snappis I wouldn't bother with nappy pins, they are such a PITA. So my advice is to go chuck them in the sewing box.

    I'd probably grab a few more covers, not premmie ones as I personally don't think you'll need the premmie stuff, I'd go medium, bub will grow into them, and then you won't have to worry about getting new covers.

    Cleaning - you can use liners, or get a "little squirt" so you can clean the poo off. Not sure what you mean abou not having to clean poo off - they definately do poo when they're breastfeeding and its gross lol

    Ok so theres my two cents, I'll let someone else give you more detailed advice (too early for me!).
