If I were going to I would get a few used ones and see how it went first! You can always resell them. I thought about it for about 3 seconds once

I have the diapers already, so yes. But, if I didn't already have them, yes I would. The cost savings alone is enough of an incentive (thousands of dollars). I believe for hard water, they just recommend using a mainstream detergent, like Tide, as opposed to a more eco friendly one. I'm sure each diaper company has it's own recommendations. We use BumGenius 4.0 and love them.

Whoa! Per kid?? We didn't come up with nearly that savings when we calculated it out. About $250 for the first kid and about $850 for each kid after that. But we bought more expensive diapers instead of pre folds/covers and we were buying luvs brand diapers in bulk, so our cost per diaper was really pretty low. We also accounted for water use and detergent in our comparison...but that only made a small difference.

The no more poopsplosion is reason enough for me!!

Eh, do it! My ex-husband was very anti-cloth, and so we did disposables, but once we were separated I started Ellie in cloth. She was 10 months. She was in underwear at 24 months. Lorelei was cloth from (almost) day one.

Someone I know went back and forth and then wishes she had; Her LO had physical issues that kept her in dipes until age 4. You just never know!

I love them. Doing both (disposable at daycare), we broke even at a year. Full time, it was six months. I like having options. I can always keep a disposable in my car for emergencies-sometimes I forgot to even take a diaper bag places. I would definitely do it. I'm super pro cloth. It's so easy, IMO. Wash. Liners in trash. Done.
