» Grandma07 - Pro Cloth Diapers


There are several more advantages to using cloth diapers - you always have them in the house and if you have multiple children, your investment in diapering has already been made. I used cloth diapers almost exclusvly on our six and in the ten years probably replaced the 6-dozen diapers I kept at home once - staggered - I didn't replace them all at once.
Can you imagine all of the hurt we've saved earth from? Plus, the all had beautiful baby-bottom - as you've also pointed out!

Those are very good points! I think in the long run, cloth diapers are definitely the way to go!

Are you kidding me? If you want the truth about cloth diapers, youi need to try something more than the cheapest made, most diifcult type-Gerber. There is no way you can make an acurate post after only trying thw worst cloth diapering products out there. There are PLENTY of better cloth diapers that are actually better at stopping leaks than disposables- yet still more cost effective. I believe more research needs to be done b/f such statements should be made.

I agree with this response 150%.

Gerber cloth diapers are the absolute poorest excuse for a cloth diaper that was ever made. In fact, they're not even really made for diapering, they're just for burp rags.

I have been a cloth diaper mamma for the past 14 years. We rarely have diaper leaks (one maybe every 1-2 months) and I am not a mom who changes diapers in the middle of the night. My babies sleep in bed with me and I would KNOW if they leaked.

We use Indian pre-folds, and they're very very low technology cloth diapers. Another responder boasted about fuzzi-bunz, and there are hundreds of other "fancy" cloth diaper manufacturers out there whose diapers are as easy to use as disposables.

I don't think your product review reflects an experience with cloth diapers at all. I think your review is strictly for Gerber cloth diapers. I urge you to experiment with some "real" cloth diapers, because they are actually quite wonderful.

Most definitely. We've used cloth almost exclusively with both of our daughters with excellent results. As with most things, you have to shop around to find the best of what's available.

I also love my cloth diapers. Next to my sling, it's my most valued baby item. We use Indian prefolds as the bulk of our stash and have several pocket diapers for out and about. I recently published an article on dad's and cloth diapers too (shameless plug). happy
