I've been reading online and people seem to assume you'll go one way or the other.
I came across a blog where a lady said to use disposable for newborns and trips, and use cloth when you're at home on maternity leave.
However, I don't think I've seen any cost analysis on this mixed method.
I'd like to find a healthy balance between the two. It seems like the pros of disposables are fast, convenient, clean, simple. The cons: price. The pros of cloth: cheaper. The cons: a lot of work.
And sometimes people start with cloth and then give up. But then you've got an additional unexpected cost of disposable diapers.
I don't want to make the same mistake. So I'd like to ask if anyone is doing or has done a combination of cloth and disposables?
Any words of advice/wisdom you can bestow on this first time mom about deciding what to choose and how much to choose?
Also, would you buy pre-used cloth diapers off kijiji? I wouldn't know how many to get!! There's got to be a neat and simple quick start guide somewhere.
