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?

Absolutely disgusting, imo, unless you hand wash them separately. In a tub in the yard. Then you burn and bury them.
I'm all for most natural stuff, gotta breastfeed, make sure the larvae doesn't get rashy, etc, but that's a hard no on having that literal shit go through my washing machine.
I'll spring for disposables, they sell em for dirt cheap at flea markets or you can always go downtown and find somebody on the dole willing to sell you some they bought with stamps or something.
There's really no excuse to not use disposables nowadays, price isn't a real issue anymore and it's so much more sanitary/easy.

Uh, we hose the poop into the toilet and then wring them out and put them into the pail, never had issues with larvae, and we don’t put feces into the wash. There are plenty of reasons to not use disposables, including they trash the planet, kids don’t potty train till almost 3, and they are soaked with endocrine disrupting hormones. Buy sure, consooom goy.
