I made the swich to cloth diapers 2 years ago and I love them.  I use fuzzi bunz.

To read my past posts about diapers go here.


The following info is from ideal bite
Is there more in your baby's diaper than you bargained for?

The Bite
Not the usual junk, we're talkin' chems in disposable diapers that aren't great for babies, baby-daddies, or Mama Earth. Then there's the landfills full of nasty nappies. Junk the junk, and try bio or cloth diapers instead.

The Benefits

Big savings. Babies go through about 2,500 diapers before they're potty-trained; cloth diapers washed at home cost $0.03 per use, while disposables costs about $0.22 each.
Tons less waste. Disposable diapers produce at least 70 times more waste than cloth diapers, and Americans trash 18 bil diapers each year.
Better for baby. A 1999 study found that lab mice exposed to conventional disposable diapers experienced eye, nose, and throat irritation, and advised asthmatic parents to steer clear.
Biter options. Not into cloth? New diapers offer convenient inserts that break down in 150 days or fewer (versus 500 years for standard disposable ones).
