I am one of the few in my area that is willing to cloth diaper DC kids. I got one of my part timers for this reason alone. I have cloth diapered all 3 of my kids and don't find it to be any harder than regular disposable diapers. I don't rinse/wash or do anything other than stick them in a waterproof bag to go home with kiddo. Each day the bag goes home and it must be waterproof and stink proof. Anyway, would you be willing to take a kid knowing they were cloth diapered? If you are licensed/registered, are there any regulations on cloth diapering for your daycare?

I wouldn't have an issue with it.Comment

I absolutely adore cloth diapers. LOL. I even have favorite diapers.Comment

Good question! I have no idea what the reg is here. I don't think I would mind so much as long as I could send them home in a bag and not be asked to wash them. I have never known anyone who used cloth diapers so I'm just assuming there isn't much dif here? Do they leak or anything? If so that may change my mind.Comment

my first though was Eeeewwwww
But, if your "parents" don't mind you just dropping the diaper in a bag...no shaking it out...I don't see anything wrong...but, then I would truly hate to be the parent who has to do something with it before it goes into the wash.

I accept cloth diapers and currently have one dcb use them.
Communicable Disease regulations here require that I NOT rinse/dump the diaper, but just bag it immediately for the parent to take home to launder.
My current dcb uses a diaper service, so mom and dad don't even wash them themselves:-)
I have an infant that will be starting in August that will be a cloth diaper baby too.

Ooo, I didn't know there was a diaper service around here! Can you get me the name and number? Not that I mind doing them myself, but I could be interested in a service...I accept cloth diapers and currently have one dcb use them.

As to the original question, I have no problem using cloth with dcks, and have in fact had two kiddos inc are using them. Both families used the BumGenius dipes that are pretty much as simple as disposables. Cloth diapers get put into a wet bag and sent home each day.
Personally, I cloth diapered my DD and will be cloth diapering DS once his butt's a bit bigger--I use prefolds (Indian Prefolds are the best) with snappis (so much easier than pins!) and diaper covers/plastic pants.Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!Comment

Yes. I cd'd my three and will cd #4. I offer to cd daycare kids in pocket or AIOs only. I have had three dck's in cd.Comment

I do. I let parents know that I can't rinse them and things like that, but they are so easy to use these days. I have them bring in the kind the have the pocket inserts. It's just like a regular disposable diaper.Comment

I cloth diapered my twins from birth and provide and clean the cloth diapers for my dcks. I only have one in dipes right now.
I'm licensed and they have no problem with it.Comment

I don't mind at all as long as I have the supplies I need just like with disposables. I don't rinse or dump...just shake the cover in the wet bag and hang the used covers over the diaperbag so they don't get stinky for mom. It's no more difficult than disposables.

I cloth diaper my son and absolutely LOVE it! Honestly, I think if I didn't have disposable diaper waste from the daycare kids, we could get away not having trash pick-up. We recycle every single thing we can, which cuts down on sooo much waste! I would love to have another cloth diaper baby come to my care, but there aren't many around here. Most moms who cloth diaper their babies stay home with them it seems.Comment

I wouldn't mind doing cloth but they have to be the "diaper style" type, I toss them in a bag and don't have to see wash/see/smell them. Just change and send them on home.
I had a prospective family tell me they wanted to do cloth. I had no problem with it. Until they told me it would be the old fashioned pin kind. No way, nu uh, not gonna do it. One wrong move (on my part or a kicking, rolling baby) and it's my rear. I'll pass.
