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?

It’s everywhere not in the US. Many other cultures do it or variations on it, calling it “waiting on baby.” Saves diapers and gets them out of diapers sooner.

It makes a lot of sense now I've read about it. Labour intensive, but much more natural.
I wonder why europeans ditched it, maybe it's something to do with the climate? I know sami still use swaddling clothes because they travel so much. They pack the baby into a carrier filled with moss and sawdust and let it do it's thing while they're moving.
