Brand recommendations for each type for FTM
I'm trying to figure out what works best for our family. We are lazy people and our baby is already 3.5m because I've been overwhelmed with the choices. I'm leaning towards AIO, but I'm worried they won't last long enough to safe money since they need heavy duty washing and I've read they don't last as long because of it. We're willing to invest for convenience if its worth it and does actually save us a ton though.
I have two diapers that require inserts. I find it hell to have to put in the inserts. We are barely keeping up with folding laundry as is. We do multiple small loads of laundry every day, and some days we find time to fold it, other days we are surfing through laundry for things. I just can't see us prepping diapers. I have no idea what brand the diaper or the insert is, so no clue if it's brand specific or this is just how it's done.
That said, I haven't tried the prefolds and am willing to give it a go.
I plan to buy 2 again, and just keep trying them every morning to see if it's worth it. Any brand recommendations for AIO and prefolds? Is 2 enough? Should I try different brands for inserts?
I also have bamboo liners, but I always get blowouts every time I use them. It's an Olympic sport to try and get it within the diaper with a kicking baby. I'm just using it for practice, but will this be a problem when he starts having more solid poops? How can I prevent blowouts around the thigh area?
