Forget diaper pins, plastic covers and awkward pre-foldeds. Cloth diapers today operate like disposables, fastening with Velcro or snaps. Except, they can save money and leave baby bottoms drier. This isn't tree-hugging, incense-burning, hemp wearing, it's smart parenting. Here's what happened when I tried cloth diapers for a few weeks. http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/805155/cloth-diapers-put-to-the-test Parenting Sarah W.

Likewise, cloth diapering has changed a lot too. Gone are the days of diaper pins and shapeless, leaking prefolds.

For most of us, it's more a question of which disposable diaper brand we'll use. After all, disposables are SO common and convenient. And cloth diapers... not so much. Right? But there are actually more options than Pampers, Luvs, Huggies or Seventh Generation. There are a diverse selection of cloth diapers to consider, too -- and, folks, these aren't your grandma's cloth diapers. http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/804634/deciding-if-cloth-diapers-are-for-you Parenting Parenting Tips & Advice Children's School & Education Sarah W.
