I used cloth diapers for all of my kids. It was so much cheaper. I even cut the laundry cost by line drying them so that was free. With 6 kids, I washed a lot of diapers but all I really did was throw them in the washer and the machine did the work. I did use disposable diaper when we were away from home as a convience but the cost savings of the cloth diapers really made a difference for our budget.
