I used cloth for both boys (7 years apart). my mother had cloth diapers at her house when we visited in case we ran out. She had no problem with my washing a few before we left. We had a few disposable at the lake cottage in case there weren't enough cloth. I kept them for quite a few years. And anyone remember the cloth training pants? Felt fortunate my boys were easily potty trained at about 2-3 yo.
