Update

Ok so using 2 insert didn't because she couldn't close her legs but it did keep her dry. There is a diaper swap this weekend at Happybottomus in OP so I'm going to try and get some all in ones (AIO) for night time any see how that works. I'm currently bidding on a Grinch diaper cover on ebay so far I'm winning!!

Downside

I'm have found 2 downsides 1) if you use pants/shorts that just pull on you may want to get a bigger size. I was trying to get a pair of shorts that just pulled on and the Velcro got caught. 2) we have been having leaks at nights I ask the woman I bought my diapers and other supplies from, she also used cloth on all 4 of her kids, she said to double up on the prefold so I did that and my niece last night couldn't close her legs. So I think I'm going to make some all in one (AIO) for use at night, until then we'll just use our disposals for night.

Day 2 & 3

We went on a weekend trip with my niece and it went really well. So far what I don't like about the cloth diapers are poppy one but I found a way to solve that...flushable liners. She woke up Sat. mourning all wet, including jammies. I figured this out today and if you don't get the diaper all inside the cover then she ends up all wet, including clothes. All and all I really like using the cloth diapers.

Day 0 and 1

Day 0 was yesterday when I got my diapers and covers. There are a lot of of option in cloth diapers but we went with the cheapest witch is prefolds and covers. The first thing you have to do is wash the covers and the diapers. The diapers need to be wash by them self in hot water 3 time prior to the first use. The cover just throw in with the regular wash.

Day 1- So far so good. We soak though to the first cover but cloths stayed dry. She hasn't shown any sign of breaking out, where if we bought store brand she will, but I washed them in the same soap I do her clothes.

Here are the covers I got yesterday:
