How many of you out there use cloth diapers? (out of the 4 or 5 of you who read this!)
I am considering going to cloth! I know, it may sound crazy, considering I barely have time to take a shower! But I have been reading awful things regarding disposable diapers! Such as, they contain a chemical that causes Toxic Shock Syndrom (TSS)! I mean come on, it's okay that I assume the risk of this once a month, but my child! And that they have been found to cause low sperm count and testicular cancer!
After reading this, I couldn't help feeling that I let my son down...for our convenience, we may have unknowingly caused harm to him. I feel awful....so the least I can do is use cloth for the remainder of his diaper days, which could be 1.5 years! If you would like more info, read this.
So, I have hit the web, and honestly have no idea where to begin. There are all kinds of cloth diapers, like all in one, pre-fold, contour, etc. So what do I do? How many do I need? Do I need pins....because I can barely get his current diaper on as it is! Oh God! What have I got myself into...and I can just see it...if his father didn't have an excuse before, now he will be all like, "I can't change him, I don't know how!"
So what do you think my few friends....do you use cloth? If so, PLEASE HELP!
