I came across this site and thought it was the coolest thing. We don't have kids yet (keeping our fngers crossed), but I bookmarked this for when we do.

1. When you are expecting, think about using cloth

It's NOT as icky as some tell you, and it's better for the baby-bottom and the environment.. And there is nothing more satisfying than looking at and smelling a freshly folded stack of diapers :)

There are several nifty "prefolds" these days...(I managed to find some called "B-52's" when my 27 yr old baby was "new".. They were wonderful...and fit like a dream :)

2. There is a cloth diaper service very near us, in fact.

It has gotten rave reviews!

3. I did cloth, too.

I have washed them myself and used a service. It is a bit more work than disposables, but not as bad as people make out.

4. I did cloth, too, many moons ago when the girls were babies,

and I think it's one of the major reasons they were all happily toilet trained by age two - my oldest by two, my middle one by 22 months, the youngest 23 months.

It was no big deal. We'd use disposables when we had to go out for a long time, or for a trip. Otherwise, cloth.

I still have some of them now - 12 years after the youngest was trained - and they make GREAT dust cloths :)

5. My kid wore cloth too

These were my favorites:

6. Since tampons clog toilets and septic systems

(shudders at teenage memories of flooded basements when my tampons repeatedly clogged the system...) I can only imagine that these things are worse! Personally, I wouldn't use them.

Like everyone else who responded, my baby used cloth 16 years ago. We started with a diaper service, but moved pretty quickly to washing our own. Not too bad at all.
