Nonetheless, I could not help but notice the look of frustration on the face of the garbage man as he stopped by each week to pick up our trash. Now two of my boys are potty-trained and my third son is in the process of doing so. This makes me feel good in that I trust he will not be in diapers for the four years that his brothers were. In all, I think it just takes a decision on the parent's part to decide what is best for the baby, the parents, the environment, and the daily routine. Cloth diapers are a challenge and a commitment.
Disposables offer such a convenience.
Even those nighttime ones do wonders for my peace of mind. These diapers are reusable, made of all cotton, and much healthier. These diapers are fast, accurate, keeps the stuff in, and easy to use. Having gone both routes during my boys' diaper days, I think BOTH methods are equally applaudable. However, once I hit the stage where I had three babies in diapers simultaneously, it just made more sense to me, on all accounts, to use the disposable ones, but I would not change how I did it with my first-born son.
