Cloth Diapers

Something Ive been thinking and considering is switching from reusable diapers to cloth diapers. I have a few girlfriends who strictly use cloth diapers and they swear by it. Even though Eli is 1.5, Im thinking that we can save money and possibly have him potty trained sooner, or at least have him realize when he's wet.

I would have to change him more often, pretty much any time he pee's as compared to disposable which mask the feeling of being wet, so he can go longer wearing a disposable diaper. Its expensive to invest in, but once you do it pretty much will pay for itself because we wont be spending  $50 + per month on disposable diapers.

Its way more economical and we'll have less garbage. Its something that Id like to do with our second baby (whenever that may be) so if we invest in them now, we have all the diapers we need for baby #2.

The hard part is finding which diapers work best for us, theres so many cloth diapers to choose from. Ive decided Im going to buy a few used ones, figure out what works best and then hopefully invest in some. Like I said its expensive off the bat (a few hundred dollars at least!) but it will pay for itself in just a few months.

Any thoughts?
