If you pick cloth, you might want to practice on a doll before diapering a real infant. The man's eye view behind these practical suggestions comes from Marco Paolini - a writer who lives in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. The idea, however, came from his wife, Inge. Cloth or disposable, they still stink and they still leak. Disposable diapers are great if you want to save time and energy.
Cloth diapers are cheaper in the long run, and they score higher with the ecologically minded.
If you have more than one child in diapers, you'll find a diaper service cheaper than disposables and definitely easier than doing your own. For those of you who have decided to use cloth diapers, I'll demonstrate one way of putting them on. Make sure that you've gathered all the necessary items. You'll need a container of wipes, a fresh diaper, some diaper pins, cloth insert, clothespins and plastic pants. First things first.
