Props for doing that. We tried with our twins, but eventually decided cloth diapers are for people with single kids that aren't burnt out.

- milesvp 9y agoUgh. Yeah, I regret deeply buying cloth diapers for my twins. The economics looks better for twins, since you only need like 50% more, but the time premium is higher than expected with twins, so it ended up eating into too much prescious downtime. Worse is we couldn't get them to stop drinking the majority of their fluid intake before bed, and the pee at night required us to use absorbant disposables anyways. In the end I'm not sure they were a net positive investment, even ignoring the higher than expected opportunity cost of havings twins.
- josefresco 9y ago"cloth diapers are for people with single kids" Maybe not for twins, but "one kid at-a-time" is more than doable and the second kid is where the real money savings come in.
- dancek 9y agoYeah, I meant that by single (English is my second language). And of course cloth diapers are probably a good idea for twins too, but I just couldn't handle it. There comes a point where you'll give almost anything to get five minutes of free time every now and then.
- josefresco 9y agoSister had twins - I totally get it. Their house was crazy for the first couple years. You do what works ;)
