I just wanted to briefly share why I loved, loved, loved cloth diapers.
The expense up front was more than a package of diapers, but over time I was able to save money. (Now just waiting for the bum genius training pants to come out, so I can quit buying pull ups, as I am not to happy with the gerber training pants system.) I also new that there were absolutely no chemicals going onto my baby's bottom, as I used special detergent for the diapers, and I know that they were designed by a mom for her baby, and they don't contain any bad chemicals. In the sense of the earth I was not contrubiting as much to the disposable diaper phenomenon over taking the landfills. The fun part was in the summer Thaddeus looked cute in his cloth diapers instead of the disposable.
