Cloth Diapers?

So Don wants to use cloth diapers when we have the baby. I am riding the fence on the issue. Please leave comments with thoughts. These are the facts that chase each other in my mind.

Disposables:
+They are disposable....
+Convenient
-Expensive
-Wasteful (Environmentally)
-Diaper rash which then equals chemicals in diaper cream


Cloth:
+Economical
+Better for environment
-Smelly
-Lots of laundry
-Extra time
+Potty train earlier
-Leak potential

  1. I agree with the cloth diapers. . .but I don't have a kid so I dunno much other than disposables are expensive. Probably run a graph of the extra cost of disposables vs what your time is worth with the cloth diapers thats being stricktly economical though.The enviroment is a whole other matter. Don really shouldn't put the disposable diapers in the compost bin. When The cloth diapers wear thin they (and they're typical contents) can be composted. . .Your welcome Donnie - Sorry Moriah. . .
