You've touched on a key point, Peckish, that being, at the end of the day chosing what we chose equates to being what's best for us and our living situation, in addition to being what's best for our little ones.
I've come across so many comments related to diaper rash and cloth diapers, with mothers claiming that because they used cloth, their children never had a diaper rash. I must have done something wrong along the way, because my kids got occasional diaper rash, and I was always anal when it came to checking and changing them, yet diaper rash still reared it's ugly little head from time-to-time.
