Poll: Do you use disposable or cloth diapers on your baby?

Personnaly, every time I see a disposable diaper on a Wal Mart parking lot, used, I feel they should be outlawed! How about you?

I use disposable diapers. I know, I know. But I never, ever would leave one anywhere except a trash can! If there is no trash can, come on, take it home! :)

I only used disposables for my baby, who is 30 now, and I know it can be a controversial question. I will say this, if you use cloth, don't expect somebody else to change your baby's diaper.

When I was first pregnant, my ultra-frugal neighbor asked me to keep her baby one day. She insisted on using cloth diapers, and between my all-day, everyday morning sickness, and wrestling with unfamiliar cloth diapers, by the time she came to pick the baby up, I was ready to throw up.

And, I was determined to use disposables for my own baby.

So for your own baby, fine, but don't expect your babysitter to use cloth. I don't see how using cloth is healthier for the baby. Disposables wick the moisture away, while cloth keeps it right next to the skin. My son never got diaper rash, while the neighbor's baby did.

I wouldn't want to use cloth Kotex, either.
