I know we have a lot of parents on RallyPoint, and this really is an important general interest topic for people who haven't approached it yet. What are your thoughts and opinions?

I've tried a combo and will input my thoughts after a few others.

we looked into it and found that a combo of both is best. when you are home use cloth and when you are away disposable. this is also assuming your child has no allergies to cleaning agents used in cleaning cloth diapers. cloth diapers saved us money and disposable was very convienient for being out. hope that helps. good luck.

I agree with this. We used cloth at home and disposable when traveling.

For ease and convenience we hesitantly opted for disposable. If a service was available we would have gone for cloth diapers without hesitating. As MAJ(P) (Join to see) stated, DIY cloth diapers require a little extra training (care, effort, and know-how) to clean and maintain correctly.

Cloth all the way, if you have the time to do the laundry. There is a high startup cost, but you definitely save in the end. You can also buy used cloth diapers to lower costs. I know it sounds gross, but they are cleaned, and my wife always re-strips and rewashes them before using them. We usually only buy disposable diapers for travel purposes.

I will say though that my wife spent a significant amount of time experimenting with cleaning routines and products. If you are going to go with DIY cloth, you or your spouse should join some cloth diapering groups on FB and learn from others.
