My momma did the whole cloth diaper thing with us kids. I don't see the point. The amount of water wasted and bleach used cleaning the darn things can't be that much better for the environment than a disposable.
I'm a Pampers gal. I tried other brands, but they suck. I can't stand crinkly diapers. Or the kind where I pull the tabs off when I pull too hard x_x
Drugstore.com is my friend. Hello economy bulk packaging!
My step-son was in Pull ups until he was 4ish. That one was rough. Got to a point that they just didn't have a size bigger than 4-5T. When he learned he couldn't go to pre-school if he didn't straighten out his crap (pardon the pun) he learned REAL fast. He's gonna be 6 in April and is still a bedwetter if I give him anything to drink past dinner time and/or don't wake him up to go to the bathroom at 10 or so.
I expect my son to take just as long to potty train, if not longer. We'll see.
*sigh*
Chickens are much easier to care for. But you can't spank a chicken or put them in time-out, if they're bad. The best you can do is give them a stern talking to and have them look at you like you're batty... much like my kids.
im pretty laid back and think everyone has to do what works best for your family. It worked for us
