Cloth diapers or disposable diapers??

Question

I want to know what everyone thinks of both styles of diapers. Pros and cons and personal experiences would be amazing.
I did disposable with my first but contemplating going cloth route. If I could get some friendly advise on both I would be thrilled!

Answer

I do a mix! Disposable at night so that if baby pees they can sleep in the diaper without being wet and uncomfortable. And disposable when I am out of the house, so I don't need to carry stinky diapers in the diaper bag to bring home to wash. Cloth diapers when we are at home! So we save some money, and save the planet a bit, but still have the convenience of disposables when we need it.

Answer

Cloth for sure

Answer

Yes I love cloth diapers. Currently using them during day and at night disposables.

Answer

Cloth 100%. So much better for your baby! We used the Bayrli brand of cloth diapers. Grabbed one of the kits and haven’t looked back! The deluxe diapers are AMAZING!

Answer

Cloth diapers are great if you have a diaper service in your area. Otherwise you are just adding at least 1 extra load of laundry per day to your plate. They are very pricey up front. Some people buy used; however that is extremely unsanitary. You wouldn't buy a used menstrual cup or someone's used thong. While you can bleach and strip used diapers as much as you please, you can never truly get all the residual poop stink and residue out, much like vaccuuming carpet. You get some dirt up but never all of it.
After the initial expense cloth can be cheaper, especially if you use the reusable liners and not disposable. But again that adds to your daily laundry.

Answer

I would love to use cloth diapers, but working in child care 10 years and having children in cloth diapers I can't stand it. Every child I have ever had use cloth leaks through thier diaper several times a week even with extra inserts and very frequent changes. I had a toddler outgrowing his diapers and leaking with every pee, but parents wanted to toilet train instead of invest in larger diapers (completely reasonable except thier child wasn't quite ready)also can't see myself wanting to scrape the poo out of the diapers when the baby starts solids. On the other hand they are better for the environment and the child tends to feel they are wet which can make toilet training a lite easier.

Answer

Cloth is cheaper but if you do daycare keep in mind they don’t allow cloth diapers. My sister does them and she says the extra work of cleaning them is worth it.

Answer

Some of mu friends at church use cloth diapers, and they are so much nicer than they used to be! So many adorable colors and patterns, and very easy to work. 
However, I already have 6 people to wash clothes for every day, baby will make 7... I feel like I already have almost more than I can keep up with, so I plan to use disposable.
