Would you use cloth diapers?

Question

What are your thoughts?

Answer

Its great for the environment and all that but sorry not washing poo out and putting it in my washing machine daily

Answer

I work at a daycare and while we have absolutely no problem with parents choosing to use cloth diapers, I personally wouldn't use them because I've see the potential outcome. They're too large between their little legs and could potentially make them walk bow legged. This DOES NOT mean that will happen to all kids in cloth. I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying, in my experience, cloth diapers cause more blowouts (pee and poo) as well as difficulty sitting up due to the baggy diaper and possible problems walking later on. Just my experience!

Answer

I've had friends that do it and as long as ur not super anal about washing them right away it's not bad!

Answer

I use cloth with my daughter. So much cheaper than constantly buying disposables

Answer

We've been using cloth exclusively since my son was 2weeks old (he's 7 months now) and it's been amazing. We'll never go back to disposables. My first was allergic to almost every brand of disposables and got awful chemical burns, which is the reason we switched.

As long as you have a good wash routine, you won't have any problems. For anyone considering using cloth, joing fbs group Fluff Love & CD Science. They are great and will set you up with a personalized wash routine specific to your needs and washer.

Answer

I plan to use cloth and will have a stash of newborn diapers at first because of 1) waiting for belly button stump to heal and 2) making sure the diapers fit. In general I plan to use cloth and have disposables for when we are out or just to make it easier on ourselves from time to time. Will use prefolds. I think cloth is cheaper and cuter because of all the designs you can find on the diapers.

Answer

We use cloth and love it. During pregnancy I looked up as many websites as I could find about it, but I have learned the most from trying it and think there is still a learning curve for each child. I bought all one brand (flip) and am lucky that they fit my child great and are easy to use and wash. 
If you are unsure, might be worth seeing if there is a way to borrow some from a friend or try a diaper service for a month. Ease into it that way!

Answer

I for one was a strong voice against cloth diapering, it grossed me out and seemed time consuming. But we did start doing it and I actually really enjoy it! Once you get in your routine it's really not bad at all. We still do disposables for when we are out and about or traveling. I think one thing that really helped me is I have several friends who do it and I was able to do a test run of several different styles. So I was able to learn exactly what we liked best and what worked/fit best for baby boy. As far as the bow legged thing, most people above 25 were raised in cloth and I'm not seeing a whole lot of Cowboys walking around 😉 (also I don't do laundry more than twice a week max, but usually just once)

Answer

Did with my first and will with my second. 2 yrs of diapering for under 100$, count me in!
