We are expecting our first child this year (yay!) and in all the bits and pieces that make a baby's life go round we are at an impasse about cloth or disposable diapers?
Were any of your children raised on cloth diapers? Did you try cloth and switch to disposable?
What are the pros and cons?
Do you have any recommended brands to fill out my numbers after I run out of home made pairs?

Anyone who doesn't use cloth diapers to some extent is a sucker, or very rich. Disposables are pretty good for early on poops (meconium and stuff can stain) and over nights, travel while cheap, cloth diapers aren't much hassle and are WAY nicer on baby bums. We had very few rash/redness issues using this combo (nothing a tiny bot of coconut oil didn't solve). Also modern ones all have snaps and inserts and it takes almost NO time to throw in a load of laundry
