Back when my oldest was born. 1972, Pampers and their ilk were just coming out on the market and were VERY expensive so we used cloth when we were at home during her infancy. Pampers when we went out and by the time shw was a toddler Pampers all the time. Long story short, START with cloth at home as when you are done with them, you will have some of the FINEST precious metal/pipe polishing cloths EVER ! Washed, well used cloth diapers are FANTASTIC for this !! And welcome to the rest of your now GREATLY CHANGED life !! NOTHING will be the same after your children arrive but that's the way it's supposed to be !! :twisted: :twisted:
