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?

We started with cloth and wanted to go all natural etc etc. The first time you lil one wears disposables to bed and sleeps all night instead of waking you up at least twice due to being damned uncomfortable and needing to be changed at 1am and 4 am, you will never use another cloth diaper. Furthermore, once you see the horrific diaper rash that cloth can cause, you won't use them again. So try the cloth, try the disposable. You can figure that one out. Congrats on the lil one coming, may health follow all of his/her life.

Wanna hear a funny story? My mom told me with (first kid now so I didnt know anything) that you have to change the diaper (diposables) every 1/2 hour so that she wouldnt get diaper rashes. So I did. It wasnt until I met other moms lke a year into it that I was told that was I crazy for doing that. This one I had reusables and you still have to change at least once during the night. The pads you use really do make a difference.
