cloth diapers

[bryceT317_3]

This is our 3rd baby and my son is still in diapers. I really don't want to spend the money on diapers anymore.  Can anyone tell me how they work? How to clean them? Pro's and cons? Any advice would help. What do u do when u are out traveling or in public with a cloth diaper? Keep the poop one til u get home? It just sounds scary I guess

In public you would carry a wet bag to put your dirty diapers in. You could leave the poop in and just deal with it at home, or if it's solid, just dump it in the toilet.  There are also flushable liners that you can buy, so you are just flushing the poop.

There are different types,  from prefolds or flats with covers to all in ones that work just like a disposable diaper.  For exclusively breastfed babies, you just throw it in the wash, breast milk poop is water soluble.  Once your little one starts solids, you have to flush the poop ( your supposed to do this with disposable diapers too). A diaper sprayer or spatula helps if it's not solid.
