My baby seems to be reacting to disposable diapers ...

Oh, for pete's sake. Either call some diaper delivery services and see if you can strike a deal for a trial period or else just go buy a dozen cloth diapers and see how you like it.

Just be aware that if your child has sensitive skin, cloth diapers may not be any better than disposable, especially when you add plastic pants or waterproof diaper covers.

If you change your mind about cloth, you might try switching brands of disposables (one kind of disposables gave my daughter enormous open sores while a different brand was perfectly fine). You can also try changing your baby more frequently, as it's possible that the wet or soiled diaper is contributing to the problems you're noticing.

Disposable diapers are made to be extremely absorbent, which means parents have a tendency to put off changing the child until it's obvious the diaper has been used. That may be great for your budget (less diapers to buy) but it's bad for baby's skin.

Think about it!

The best way to pick up free cloth baby diapers to see which brands or styles suit your needs, is to scour the web for websites that host frequent giveaways for free baby stuff.  There are a number of promotions running at any given time offering free cloth diapers as prizes and the value is often low enough that the contests are usually low entry.  This means that you would have an excellent chance of winning which makes entering a great investment of your time. 

Like you, I had to make the conversion from disposables to cloth because my girls had such a problem with diaper rash and irritation and I know first hand how expensive it can be to start building an inventory of cloth diapers, soakers and/or covers from scratch.  In the beginning, I bought some used diapers on Ebay and got to work entering giveaways. 

To see which brands had the best ratings, I read reviews on forums like diaperswappers and others where moms discuss cloth diapering.

Here is a coupon code for 10% off at http://www.pureandsimplebaby.com for cloth diapers.  Just use code purebaby at checkout.

 Even if they are a little expensive at first they do save a lot of money in the long run.  You can even find ones that are made from hemp or organic material which work well for sensative skin.

Check out The Cloth Diaper Foundation which provides free cloth diapers to parents who really need them. You should however note that these cloth diapers are from donations made by families who are done with their diapers. As such, these are second hand diapers. If you can afford to buy your own new and prefer to do so, sign up at various sites that sell cloth diapers. Most of these will thereafter send you announcements on sales and discounted cloth diapers to help you save on costs. Find out more at this link: http://www.aboutdiapers.net
