thanks for taking the time to post ...Hi Mommy Bee, <br />thanks for taking the time to post this for us and to point out the interesting results in bold - I DO like to skim!<br /><br />I always get startled at studies that claim disposables are better - it makes no sense - finding they are ALWAYS funded by disposable companies makes me nod (and shake!) my head...<br /><br />@One Fish - Just buy them gradually - each time baby wears it, you save money, and then use those savings to buy the next cloth diaper!<br /><br />How about combining cloth diapers with Baby Pottying?<br /><br />My link points to resources introducing the concept, or rather guiding visitors to confidence in practicing EC - elimination communication. It's a great method for gradually reducing your diaper washing - 1 less diaper at a time!<br /><br />Combining Modern Cloth Diapers with EC:<br /><br />http://www.parttimediaperfree.com/Modern-Cloth-Diapers.htm<br /><br />Thanks for letting me share my link!<br /><br />CharndraCharndrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023229038336120679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-54095634782022704952009-09-10T09:19:35.363-08:002009-09-10T09:19:35.363-08:00Mallory - my son isn't using many diapers thes...Mallory - my son isn't using many diapers these days either, as he's potty training, and I noticed the same problem with stink when I don't have enough for a whole load until a week later.<br /><br />I've started washing his diapers with other things. Like sheets, towels, blankets, and even our whites. I haven't had a problem yet. I actually downsized my diaper pail to a smaller container because it felt silly to use the big one for just a few diapers a day.Sprgtimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09856979370051999819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-33325337583678384082009-09-08T14:59:07.470-08:002009-09-08T14:59:07.470-08:00So I'm actually kind of interesting considerin...So I'm actually kind of interesting considering I'm going to have two kids in diapers in the next week.

It's like once the disposable diaper was introduced, the cloth diaper was totally forgotten. <br /><br />My only problem with cloth right now, is that Bug doesn't go through enough diapers to make a full load often enough, so the dipes end up sitting in the pail long enough to start getting mildew on them. And that's no good!Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991788960863652000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-67297237986819997202009-09-06T08:25:48.251-08:002009-09-06T08:25:48.251-08:00And so few parents know these things...I'm gla...And so few parents know these things...I'm glad to have read even an overview of the history of disposable diapers.
