[blparent] Cloth Diapers Anyone?

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

It's great that you can hang clothes out to dry on the line.  I'm not 
arguing, but I'm just curious about something to do with that.  I've often 
found line-dried clothes to be stiff and sort of unpleasant.  I guess I've 
gotten spoiled by the dryer.  Is there anything that can be done to keep the 
diapers soft when they're drying?

As for poop, I bet you'll find it doesn't bother you so much when it's your 
own baby as it did doing childcare.  Besides, you'll change so many diapers 
by the time your child is toilet trained that you won't even think twice 
about poop after a while.

kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Hello Michael,
Though's facts were very interesting, and are deffinit reasons why
some people would choose cloth over disposables, but for me it's
simple, the all mity dollor.  Since I will be living in a house with
it's own washer, and have a back yard ware I can hang the diapers to
dry by the time baby is born, I believe the utility costs will be alot
less than if I was having to run to the local store to buy diapers
every week.  If we hadn't found a house to live in by the time the
baby will be born, it would have been cheeper to do disposables
because I would have had to use the comunity laundry room, and it's
around $4 per load pluss detergent.  Pluss I would have to sit rite
beside the washer/drier because clothing has been stolen before from
there.
Over all I'm not looking forward to having hourly contact with poo
either in a pece of paper or cloth, so I'll just have to get over the
eww factor. smile  It helps that I did alot of daycare as my first job
so it's not all foren.
I was really surprised to find out my husband to be is very supportive
of the whole cloth diapering thing, the fact I showed him the cost
comparison mite have had something to do with that, but his whole
family used cloth diapers so he mite actualy mite no more about the
subject then me.
Thank you all for your help and addvise
