Had you asked me several years ago if I would ever consider cloth diapering, my answer would have been "no." But as they often do, opinions change over time. After considerable research, we are taking a leap of faith and committing to cloth diapering. Mentally. I have yet to buy and use the actual diapers.
Here are my reasons for using cloth diapers:
- Saves money (the initial downpayment is higher, but it saves in the long run. also, we may live in an apartment where we pay a flat rate so I don't have to worry about utilities going up)
- Health benefits to baby (supposedly, less diaper rash and fewer blowouts)
- Eco-friendly (less energy to wash diapers than to take out bags of trash)
And that's about it. If I were to change the font size of the three reasons to emphasize importance, number one would be in 100 pt font, number two would be in 30 pt font, and number three would be in 10 point font. We'll see how it goes!
Rhetorically,

You go, girl!
