Okay, we are definitely doing cloth diapering, and most likely going to do home laundering.
We are eagerly awaiting the referral of our newborn daughter *any* day now! She will be from Guatemala, and she will be in private foster care while our case proceeds the court system. We have no control over her diapering options while there.
We don't know how old she'll be when she comes home. The average age is 6-9 months, but it could be as short as 4 months or as long as 12 months.
I know I can't buy most things until I know her weight, size, etc. and a rough idea of her age. But, I am so afraid we'll be rushing so many things at the end.
What things can I buy now in anticipation of cloth diapering a roughly 6-9 month old? Should I just get some inserts, non-disposable wipes, figure out how I'm going to launder. Is there anything else I can do in advance?
I bought a great book called "Diaper Changes" that covers most of the current options. I think we're going to like fleece/wool covers but beyond that I haven't figure anything out yet really!
Help!
