I've done a lot of research on this whole CD thing and would love to try it. My only concern is that my dd is 15 months and I'm wondering how close she is to potty training. The only reason I say this is that she has been shouting out "potty" about everytime she goes in her diaper lately. I think I have my dh onboard and then tonight she told me "potty...pants" and then ran over to the diaper pile and came over and handed me new one.
I am not into pressuring kids to potty train before they are ready lest we start an issue, she is doing this all on her own. I did go out and buy a Baby Bjorn potty for the bathroom so she could sit on it clothed from time to time just to get used to the idea of sitting there. Now of course we are probably at least a few months away given that she can't take down her pants yet and really doesn't sit on the potty but a few seconds before scampering off. But given the startup expense, should I invest in this? Maybe I should buy a few samplers, try them out and experiment with the whole thing just so I could be somewhat experienced before I am coping with the whole newborn thing again. Would your choice in diapers vary that much with a different baby since they could be built different, etc.? By this I mean, would any of the diapers I would potentially buy now not work for my next child at this stage?
Any input would be appreciated. I just hate to buy a whole lot and then they get 3 months use. My fault for not looking into this sooner. My luck, dd will probably decide it's just fun to yell this and then doesn't potty train until she's 3. By then I've spent how much more on disposables....:)
