I would never baby wear, not only for the reasons that Playfelt mentioned but because my body type doesn't allow it. I tried to baby wear my girls when they were little but it really really hurt my back, I am really short and difficult to wear a baby who might be longer than my core I also don't accept children until they are 11 months old and at this time, the children should be exploring and enjoying their environment vs being held all the time. I am a cuddlly type of caregiver, so I agree that I love being able to spontaniously cuddle with the kids as necessary.

As for cloth diapers I have no problems with them. Both my daughters were cloth diaper gals, but EVERY daycare family that has inquiried about them has refused to go with my daycare because I don't have a bathroom in my daycare and will not dump. What goes into the diaper goes home in the diaper. Parents also have to supply the special bag that is pretty much odour free. I guess I shouldn't say every family, one decided to go with me but switched to disposable for daycare days, lol.
