Diapers: Cloth or Disposable?
I know we have a lot of parents on RallyPoint, and this really is an important general interest topic for people who haven't approached it yet. What are your thoughts and opinions?
I've tried a combo and will input my thoughts after a few others.

Combination - cloth diapers retain their usefulness long after the kid moves out of them. As far as disposables are concerned, well... diaper pins. 3 AM. Questions?

Diaper pins aren't really used very much anymore. If you're using a cloth diaper with a cover, there are these neat little elastic claws that hold the diaper together (kind of like the clamp for an ACE wrap, and pictured above -- the blue "T" on the diaper). Also, you can get cloth inserts for pocket diapers that have plastic snaps. There are SOOO many ways to cloth diaper now.

we looked into it and found that a combo of both is best. when you are home use cloth and when you are away disposable. this is also assuming your child has no allergies to cleaning agents used in cleaning cloth diapers. cloth diapers saved us money and disposable was very convienient for being out. hope that helps. good luck.

For ease and convenience we hesitantly opted for disposable. If a service was available we would have gone for cloth diapers without hesitating. As MAJ(P) (Join to see) stated, DIY cloth diapers require a little extra training (care, effort, and know-how) to clean and maintain correctly.
