Some people can do cloth even with all those voices saying that they can't do it, but I really do think more people would do cloth if they had support. With our son, we had decided to do cloth because of budget reasons. We didn't have much support. We even had a relative who told me they would give us a pre-paid card monthly to pay for diapers. We didn't want to HAVE to rely on other people, we want/(ed) to be a self sufficient as possible. So, we did cloth, and yes, there were problems, but we've fallen in love. Our next child will be born in March, and though, in July my husband will have a "real" job (he'll finally graduate) and we'll have the money to spend on disposables, but will we use them? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Cloth is worth it. Saves money, keeps the trash level down (no we're not really crunchy, but really, who wants to make more garbage?).<br />Good for you for sticking to your guns and having the baby the way YOU want. Every woman should be able to have the birth they hope for (as long as it doesn't present a harm for anyone). People need to shut their mouths when it comes to having babies.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13503406049464356270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-30926281986530822352011-09-06T04:30:32.590-04:002011-09-06T04:30:32.590-04:00How true it is that family can be one of our least...How true it is that family can be one of our least supportive forces and yet can be one of our strongest influences at the same time. I'm so glad you listened to your instincts and that your husband was supportive enough to let you. My sister and I both cloth diaper, and while our parents and inlaws were very supportive, there were plenty of people outside of our family who was not. BUt here we are, 18 months and 9 months later after starting cloth and we haven't looked back! I love reading posts like this.

I was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Eugene for the ladder part of my growing up but moved to Utah 6 years ago. I also describe myself to others and "crunchy granola" and giggle to myself every time I say it.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291336351764596165noreply@blogger.com
