Oh jeez, I can't imagine! One in cloth is hard enough! Is she planning on using economical prefolds and covers or all in ones, etc?

Yikes to your friend!! I can't imagine cloth diapering in the early months. LO had about 12-15 wet/poopy diapers a day!

@artbee: My LO had about 3-4 poopie diapers a day!

Well... if she uses disposables, she'll have 3x the trash, too, so if her trash can is as far away as mine is, CD might still be the better option.

Is her washer/dryer in the home? If so, I think she can do it.

I only have one LO, and am not planning to have more than one in diapers at a time, but if we did have multiple kids in dipes at once, I'd continue to use cloth diapers. The cost and trash for 3 in disposables is outrageous anyway, and while laundry is a pain, it really isn't that bad. I would probably use the dryer more rather than hang to dry though. It takes about 8-10 hours to hang dry depending on the kind of diaper, and you can get away with fewer dipes if the laundry turnover time is less. I do know several people who have had 2-4 kids in diapers at once and used cloth, so it is definitely possible.
