[blparent] Cloth diapers

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Heather,

Not only are cloth diapers cheaper in the long-run, they are
environmentally friendly. Some brands of cloth diapers will adjust to
fit from infancy through three years of age; you will have to wash them,
but you are not buying diapers constantly.

Also, diapers contain material not good for the environment or human
skin. Most contain silicone, which works to absorb "the mess," but
silicone is extremely bad for the environment as well as many skin types
including babies who have sensitive skin. Diapers are not
biodegradeable, and many children experience allergic reactions due to
paper diapers.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Is there any particular reason you went with cloth?  Are they more or
less difficult to use than disposable?
