Let's talk diapers

For most moms, its a grab what you have a coupon for, whatever is on sale, given to you or comes in the best bang for your buck ratio.

But, for some moms it is a bigger decision than that.

To cloth or not to cloth? Will I dispose or reuse? What brand works best? How do you clean them? What detergent do you use? How often do I wash them? Wear should I wash them? How many do I need? Which materials are the most absorbent? Which fabrics are the most comfortable? Does cute-ness really matter to me? How many styles are there? The most scary part is, every baby is different. Their legs, and behinds are contoured a bit different. They 'go' at different intervals and in different amounts. Their skin may be sensitive to different materials.

You can buy a million diapers before the baby arrives and see that none of them work, once the baby is in them.

Will I be wasting money or saving it? Is it more of a hassle than it is really worth?

Am I becoming a bit too 'crunchy'?

And what if I made my own?
