I have 2 - a 21 month old and a 5 month old and I've cloth diapered both from birth (practically). I only use one-size nappies which helps to make it easier so I don't have to search for the right diaper for the right baby. Also, to make things easier, I used a mix of disposable and newborn diapers until my new little one got to 10 lbs. Then I switched him over to the same one-size diapers his brother wears. Like the other poster mentioned, I found it to be rather easier but a lot more laundry. My little one goes through about 8 to 10 diapers a day while the older one goes through 6 to 8 a day. My stash is about 24 diapers. Before this meant I could wash every 3 days, now I wash every other day. Other than that, it's been easy.

I make and sell cloth diapers if you have enough of them them it can be easy. If you have enough for at least 2 days or more then you can just do a load of diapers each day and not worry about running out. Since I make and sell I had plenty for my second baby (well third I had twins the first time) and it was much easier. I did use a dish towel and a diaper cover a couple times if I was unable to laundry for some reason.

I have twins and have used cloth since birth with them. Having two in cloth is no different than one, except twice the laundry!
