I am glad to see more action in this thread too! I have followed along with it since before I was TTC but since I was put on bed rest a while back I read through the whole thing like luvthemstraberries! I am 37 weeks now and I hope I have made good decisions and am getting a little worried about laundry routines... basically just second guessing everything because I have too much time on my hands! I am so excited to use the cute diapers though!
luvthemstraberries- I am skipping newborn diapers and going for disposables because I was nervous at first so I don't have any advice. I kind of regret that now but hopefully it will work out. I am tempted by pre-owned diapers too but DH isn't comfortable with it. I can't wait to see your stash and see how it goes! I have 2 pail liners so I have one when the other is being washed, 2 large hanging bags for daycare, and one smaller wet bag for out and about. I need to get a small/medium one for another out and about and I think I want it to have a strap. I have mostly Planet Wise and then the rest Whammies I think. Let me know what you decide on!
haven- I am glad to hear you like it so far!! Do you trifold and put the prefold in the flaps or do you do the fancy folds with a snappi? That has always intimidated me but I think flips are so nice! I bet B looks so cute in them!
Iloveny- I hope you like the flats! I have heard they are super easy to launder.
lovesvintage- I missed your question a while back about the daycare. We have 3 daycares in our town and when we went to visit we took a wetbag, an AIO, and a pocket to show them. After they saw what they were like the one we liked most and least were OK with it. The other one said no right off the bat but after we showed them they said they would look into it and consider it. We didn't follow up with them about it because our number 1 choice said yes. I hope it won't cause issues when it is actually in practice. I am worried most about them using a non-cloth safe diaper cream instead of one we supply. I really hope it works out!
Speaking of diaper creams, if you buy a cloth safe cream do you use liners for a week to test it or do you just go straight to using it? The cloth diaper class I went to recommended the liners for a week and I probably will but it seems like a pain to do every time you try a new cream. I would love to hear what everyone does!
Since I have too much time on my hands I thought I would show off some pictures of my "stash". DH thinks I am crazy and that no one wants to see pictures of diapers but they are just so cute! Sorry for the overload!
Here is my Bum Genius drawer. 6 are elementals and the rest are freetimes. I feel like the freetimes seem easier and trimmer than the elementals but it seems like others think the freetimes are bulky and elementals are trim. They are such cute colors though!

Here are 6 Charlie Bananas OS pockets, inserts, osocozy prefolds, and doublers for my Bum-Wares.

I got the Bum-Wares because I got really worried about all of her cute clothes fitting over the diapers. Does anyone have any experience with them? I read about how trim they are and lots of good reviews so I bought 4 size mediums and then some on the adjustables. Here is one of the mediums compared to an elemental on the middle rise snap.

And here is the adjustable compared to the elemental with them both on the smallest rise setting.
