For me, cloth diapering has been worth every bit of effort. I should add that it really isn't that hard. There are biodegradable, flushable inserts that you put in the diaper that catch all the solids. After you remove this thin insert and flush away the poop where it belongs, you just wash the diapers. I do an extra rinse. In the end, it's really just another load of wash. I have a 15 month old who has been in cloths since she was born and I love it, I wouldn't do it any other way. I've tried a lot of styles and I love Bum Genius All In Ones. They fit great and wash clean. Once you use these, you will never go back to disposables.

Plus, they're just so damn cute. Bum-Ware AI2s are my favorites (after trying several different brands and styles on my 12 week old 16-pounder). Love the color options (currently have brown and orange) and fast drying (since I don't own a dryer). Can't recommend them highly enough!Also, aren't disposables supposed to be scraped, too? I thought the packaging says that. Poop really doesn't belong in landfills. Avoiding chemicals was a big motivator in choosing cloth for my son. Plus, they’re just so damn cute.

I'm wrestling with the disposables-cloth diaper issue now. I just want to be sure in the last line of point 5 you meant disposables contain plastics and other irritants - yes?
