The decision to use cloth or disposable diapers can be an overwhelming one. There are many options for types and brands on either path, and conflicting opinions exist on which is a better choice for you, your baby and the environment.

If you have already made the decision to cloth diaper, you may be wondering whether to buy pre-folds, fitted, pockets or all-in-ones... and what about all the accessories?! Many parents also have questions about how to care for their cloth diapers.

Take heart - we can help you sort through the information overload. Please consult UPCOMING EVENTS for Cloth Diapering 101 classes.
