I was thinking of using a mixture of cloth diapers and regular. But I personally don't know anyone who uses cloth. Any advice?

I will be doing research on benefits of strictly going cloth, how to care for them and general use before I start buying and stocking up.

I just feel like it'd be less expensive in the long run, the styles are so darn cute and possibly avoid allergic reactions to diapers since I know some child react to certain brands.

Any one want to share their experiences or opinions? I'd greatly appreciate it.
