Cloth Diaper Experience Anyone?

[sunnydays]

I actually PREFER my dck's to be in cloth because I get to send them home at the end of each day and don't have to deal with bags of stinky diapers in my garbage bin. I am also horrified seeing all those diapers every week...it really gives you an idea of the mountains of diapers in the landfills. But, I would definitely not be washing bed linens daily or changing clothing all the time. The parents need to either make sure the diapers are stripped properly, add inserts, or change brands. A daycare provider should not be asked to change bed linens every day because the diaper leaks.

All of my daycare kids are in cloth and my own child is in cloth as well. Most of the children are in prefolds but a couple are in pocket cloth diapers. As the children have grown it has been harder to keep them in cloth without a mid-nap wake-up due to wetness, so I finally just asked that parents supply one disposable a day for nap time and this had been a great compromise for everyone. I just couldn't have the children not getting a proper nap. Hope that helps!

Yes, the waste was an issue for me as well and what spurred my decision to put my own children in cloth. However, and thank doG, my area composts them, so I use disposable guilt free

I agree, my kitchen smells so bad at the end of the day and I can't wait to get the garbage outside. I will have two children out of 5 in cloth diapers when my new baby starts. I wish I could send them all home in their little bags, it's awesome!
