We tried with "hybrid" diapers for all three of our kids, a cloth shell with a disposable liner. They worked, but they're still a lot of extra work. We always kept disposables on hand for when we couldn't keep up. Our second and third kids are twins (2 for 1!!) and that was a lot harder to keep up with. And I ran into problems where I didn't set the diaper right and they would leak overnight, making more work. We had to give up on cloth just to stay sane. I guess my point is, yes, try it if you're able to. But also when you've got a new baby, do what you gotta do for your health, physical and mental, so you can take care of your family.

Yep, absolutely! Everyone's situation is different, and I'm not gonna be on a high horse and tell people to think of the environment or their wallets. It's hard to think of the environment when you're dealing with literal shit in your house.

Twins... God bless you

thanks, mate! and you as well :D I love having kids, lot of work and all that. but it's the best thing I've done with my life so far.
