Cloth diapers are so much better for the baby's skin than disposables full of gelatin chemicals that swell up with use. Diapers are meant to be changed when wet, not left on for hours even if they are disposables and are not leaking. If a parent is attentive to their child they will see when the diaper needs to be changed.
I had two in cloth diapers at once and we doubled the diapers-- so four dipes were in use at once. It wasnt really that big a deal if you have plenty of diapers. One load washes a ton of diapers.
I would make the diapers so they do NOT open at the crotch (minimizing leakage)... but rather have wide velcro closures on either side-- where traditional diapers would be pinned.
I recommend cloth diapers over disposables, any day! Kudos to your daughter, RedStilettos!
