Yes I agree with the smell! First I thought that perhaps this one dck just had really stinky diapers but soon realized that cloth diapers give off a strong ammonia smell and I couldn't handle the smell either. Just cleaning up leaks all the time is way too time consuming. There's just way too much going on and found it disrupted my schedule and created unnecessary work. I quickly asked for disposables. Dcm wasn't very happy but then again, she's not the one having to chase after 5 kids for 9 hrs per day. I figure if the parents really want them in cloth diapers then they can change them into cloth when they get home but while they are with me, disposables only. Every daycare centre I know off does not allow cloth due to the amount of extra work required and hygiene issues.
