Cloth diaper update

We have been doing cloth diapers for 6 months now, and we really like it! During the months that James was only breastfed, his diapers did not require any extra work except to wash them every other day. Now that James is eating solids (and has been for the past 2 months), his poopy diapers need a little spraying off before being washed. We bought a high pressure sprayer that attaches to the toilet. It's really easy to use and there's no mess if you use it right- we've had a couple "incidents", but we've got the hang of it now. We did have to make some adjustments for nighttime. The cloth diapers leak if James is in them longer than 2 hours or so, especially if he is sleeping on his tummy (which he always is) so, James wears disposables at night. We currently use 19 diapers and that seems to be enough between washings. If you're interested in hearing more, post a comment and I'll give you more information. The bottom line is that we really like cloth diapering and we'll continue for James, and do it again for future children.
