My DD was all into cloth diapers with her first. I said have at it but if I keep the baby while you work it will be Pampers for me. I don't have time for all that diaper mess. After a couple of months she decided the mess, the washing, the hassle of cloth wasn't worth it. And the fact baby got a bad rash from having a wet diaper on for two hours while sleeping. It was Pampers from then on. Disposable diapers are much better now then they use to be. The wetness does not stay against the skin. I can't imagine having a toddler in cloth diapers. A car seat or stroller will be stinking to high heaven in no time.
