[blparent] Cloth diapers anyone?

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

We also are still researching cloth diapers. We decided to purchase a
couple of various brands and models before buying a bunch so we can test
out what we like best. I, too, have spent most of the last couple of
days doing a ton of research about cloth diapers along with various
organic options and other green living subjects. A good book to read is
Growing up Green Baby and Childcare by Deirdre Imus, which is available
on BARD if you use it. It's a great comprehensive guide with great
resources. Also check out Kushies.com, Earth's Best.com and try googling
some blogs. I have to admit that I don't have any great blogs to
recommend as there are so many, and I just haven't had time to check
them out extensively.

There's certainly an upfront cost to cloth diapers, but you will spend
triple that in just a few months when purchasing disposeable diapers. In
the long-run, it's much cheaper. It's also much, much better for baby
and you as it's green. A lot of chemical compounds are in most
disposeable diapers that are not at all environmentally-friendly. It's
bad for baby and environment. If possible, cloth is the way to go.

Good luck.

After spending 2 hours on the computer this morning recerching cloth
diapering, I am still baffeled.  I get the cost savings over disposables
long turm witch is a big plus for my family situation, but ware oh ware
does a pregnant mom start?  Do any of you use cloth, and what
styles/brands do you like, or should I say does your baby like? I no
it's early to be thinking about diapering but with some of the diapering
systoms out their you almost need to set up a savings plan to get
started as soon as the little one is born. Any help would be gladly
welcomed! Tracey
