Topic: Organic diaper sourcelist! 

Ohhh I need some help in this department!   My baby is due in October.  My husband and I decided we'd like to give cloth diapering a try.  Hubby said he'd do it as long as it's not too complicated (meaning as easy to put on as a disposable).  My mom and dad had a bad experience with it when I was a babe and think I'm crazy for even considering it.  Now I KNOW, because I've looked into it, that there are some fantastic fitted cloth diapers out there that work much better than a diaper service diaper.  My problem now is too many choices!  I don't know which ones to try!  We're in the process of me becoming a SAHM, my hubby getting out of the military and into a new civilian job, we're moving accross the country and buying a new house, so we really don't have the money to buy a bunch of different diapers until we find a style we like.  I'm looking for some suggestions for you parents that have been there!  We're looking for diapers that are fitted around the leg (with elastic or something similar) to keep messes in, have snaps or something similar built in, don't require folding and absorb well (maybe with the option of adding more absorbancy for night?).  Organic would be nice, but not neccessary.  All-in-ones would make things easier for my hubby, but I'd still consider the 2-part ones for cost reasons.  Your help would be much appreciated because I'm feeling very overwhelmed by all of the choices out there and I have no one at home that knows anything about it! 

P.S.  How many do I need???  What size???  What are your secret tricks for washing them???
