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!).
