I love them and have done my best to explore the ins and outs of everything out there! I'm all for buying local, but, here in Richmond, VA, there isn't much as far as cloth diapering goes. The only people I know who use a cloth diaper cleaning service here use one out of Charlottesville. Personally, I've found it super-easy to wash at home once you get in the routine. Anyway, Green Mountain Diapers (greenmountaindiapers.com) has a great website--super informative. They also sell wonderful ORGANIC unbleached cloth diapers. I also like diaperpin.com's reviews for various cloth diapering products. Regarding dunking and swishing... Emerson (my daughter) is 8 months old (today!) and we went through the transition from breastmilk poop to solid poop (stinky!!) in the last few months. I highly recommend disposable, flushable liners (specifically made for cloth diapering). They are cheap (maybe $0.05/each), biodegradeable, and can actually be reused (well, not according the instructions, but I throw the only-wet ones in the wash with the diapers and they come out of the dryer even softer than before...keep using and washing until a poop...or until they finally fall apart--I usually get at least 4 or so rounds). Hope this is helpful. As a mommy of a “green baby”, I have become obsessed with cloth diapers (and making my own baby food, but I’ll have to wait for your blog on that one)!
