K, I literally feel like a moron for even asking but I used disposables once for 2 weeks with DD1 when she was brand new and it was a terrible experience. I've changed my cousins kids diapers a couple of times but put one on backwards once, lol.

Our house hunting trip is next week and none of the hotels we can stay at have coin laundry or coin laundry service in walking distance, so I have to use them this time I guess.

DD2 has chunky thighs and a tiny waist, and is only like 17-18lbs. Would any diapers be better for her than others? She has sensitive skin, and I'm sensitive to strong smells (2 reasons we use cloth in the first place) so are there any brands that don't smell as strong but you can find in stores? I'd like to just buy a small packet to go and buy more for the week once we land there. Do the sizes go by weight? I'm being serious, I'm new to this

They should have weights right on the package, they overlap but we always go with the larger ones. At 17lbs mine were both in size 3s. W has chunky thighs and a skinny waist, A is chunkier all around. Both have super sensitive skin and we use seventh generation- you can find them at most Targets and BRU. I like that they are a little higher waisted.

We use pampers, I know they make a sensitive diaper but we haven't used that one. At that size, we were in size 3 as well with the chubby thighs.

littleredfish- Huggies have never fit well for either of my kids. They always seem too small for the weight they say they're for.

Ok ttma swiffers.

I want some thing quick and easy. I think I want the swiffer wet jet for our vinyl and tile floors.
Can I use the same system, just different cleaning solution for the wood floors?

Or does anyone have a different recommendation?

I will say - I used swiffer wet jet and the pledge version on tile and hard wood floors a couple of years ago and no matter what I did they both left kind of a film on everything. So you would have to go over it with mop n glo or something to make it look clean. 
Maybe they have changed the formulas since then?
And yes - same system you would just use different solution on different floors. 

Maybe one of those steam mops would be better?
