I need advice!!!!

For purposes of today's post I have allowed ANYONE to comment. You do not need to register or do any type of word verification.

I'm considering switching to cloth diapers. I'm thinking along the lines that it will save us thousands of dollars in the long run, along with being better for the environment. I've been researching and talking to other cloth diapering moms. I guess cloth diapers (cd) have come a LONG way. They make ones that are fitted with snaps, and do not require covers or pins.
Here are my pros and cons:

Pros:
Saves $ in long run
Better for babies butts (?)
Better for the environment
They're darn cute

Cons:
up front cost
find a place for diaper pail
more laundry

Anyone who would be babysitting, I would still keep disposables on hand for you. Here are some websites that I've been looking at. I've been told that Fuzzibunz are the best, easiest, and most affordable for my requirements (no pins, plastic pants, folding the diapers myself). I was told to start slowly, only with 2-4 of one kind in case I didn't like them.

All comments/emails on the subject would be appreciated. You too, Tom! I know you're kind of "iffy" about it, and you think I've been hanging out with the Canadian Socialists too long!

I don't see the place to leave comments now....I don't know what I did. If you can't figure out how to leave a comment, then I guess just email me.
