When my children were babies, I had no choice but to use cloth diapers as they were very allergic to the chemicals in the paper diapers. We saved lots of money too.
Bearisgray: The long rectangular diapers are what my Mom sent me when my son was born, thankfully I had an older friend to show me how to fold them. I have 1 of those diapers left and use it for a pressing cloth when I need to use iron-on interfacing. My kids are 32 and 25.
