Most prefolds have a layer in the middle for extra absorbency. Just a flat piece of fabric would likely not hold all of the urine and leak everywhere. Many people buy prefolds because they simply work better. They run about $1.50 per piece. Then there are the water proof covers, which protect baby's clothes from leakage, and can be reused even when the cloth inside is wet. Those are usually, at their cheapest, $10 a piece. Walmart does offer a package for cloth diapers which includes 12 prefolds and 3 covers for I believe $48? But most do not carry them in store.
Cloth diapering has change immensely in recent years and many people have no idea.
Why on earth has to be changed from common sense? It worked before, it sure can work now.
It is not a flat piece of fabric - it is yard by yard folded cotton flannel I am talking about - it has great absorbency and it costs 2 or 3$ per yard and lasts forever.
One does not need to buy fancy cloth diaper SETS, if one does not have money, just use one's common sense.
Buy a set or two so you have it and supplement everything else with home-made diaper cloths.
One can make a combination of things not just rely on what is in a store.
You're out there.......she is the one who got pregnant......12 kids who's fault would that be? Wait maybe, she didn't know it was sex that was causing it.
You didn't read my post very well as usual! I did say the dads!
Well I'd venture to guess that you aren't aware of the different varieties of cloth diapers. I use pocket diapers, which have PUL (a waterproof material) on the outer portion of the diaper. High heat can cause the PUL to come apart and will result in a diaper that leaks everywhere. Low heat setting only for these types of diapers.
No, I am not aware of "varieties of cloth diapers".
We are talking not about posh organic wealthy parents here, but supposedly a poor woman who can not afford disposable diapers.
She has to be on a budget and a strict one.
So she has to go by oldie style and common sense and introduce the helpful novelties as money become available.
Her son is 11 months old, so it is not like neonate who is peeing every half an hour and pooping every three.
