parents do you use disposable or cloth diapers?

We used cloth the whole time. My understanding of potty training is, the child feels uncomfortable getting wet and would rather be dry. You wont get that as much with the very absorbent kind because the discomfort is eliminated so it will take longer to train them. My daughter was only wearing them at night after she was 11 months old because she liked to wear 'big girls pants' and she didn't want them to be wet in the day time. My son was about 3 before he was potty trained because boys pee differently and it isn't so uncomfortable (they aren't sitting in the wet so much). He had ordinary pants for potty training and we also had a little seat that fitted onto the real toilet to make the seat smaller(in case they fear falling in) and a step to reach it .

I use and have used only disposable diapers on both of my kids. The only time that my son ever had a problem with getting a horrible rash is when I purchased the Publix brand diapers. The rash was horrible and he screamed but as soon as I went back to his normal brand. Disposable diapers for me are way more convenient especially when we are out and about. I make sure to change the diapers often and first thing when they wake up. That eliminated any rashes for me. I would love to have used cloth diapers, but there were not any diaper services in my area that would come and pick them up and provide me with fresh ones, like when my mother had me and my sister.

I tried using cloth ones for a little while, but they always seemed to leak and I was constantly having to change all of the clothes and the bed it just seemed like more of a hassle then it was worth, so mostly I used disposable diapers. I would use the cheapest ones I could find, but sometimes that back fired too. I managed to find a couple of cheap generic brands that wored really well.

I don't think anybody uses cloth diapers at this time. My mom used only cloth diapers for me because the other diapers were not common or available at that time in my small village. But, parents in this generation uses only disposable diapers. They may use cloth diapers for new born baby for a few days, but later they use only disposable diapers, which are easy to handle.

i used disposable nappies,i tried cloth ones but i couldn't do it,and every time i picked up the baby it would fall off,so i decided to just use the cloth nappies as sick blankets instead

We use both the disposable and the cloth diapers. Each has its pros and cons. When our baby is awake, we would let him wear cloth diapers. If he soils it, we can change it for him immediately. I think it feels more cooling this way. However, when he sleeps, we would switch to disposable diapers for him. Firstly, the disposable diapers absorb urine better, and secondly, it contains urine well, so there's no urgent need to change the diapers, and lastly, it would not make the bedsheet too messy if he poos or pees in the disposable diaper.

I use cloth diapers for my son. My older is about to be four. By three, we stopped using diapers completely for him, My younger son uses cloth diapers at day time and disposable ones at sleeping time. Cloth diapers also have far too many options. Some of them are costly too. I have seen about 30$ cloth diapers with inserts and no leaks.

I use both of them. As the cloth diapers are natural and I won't be afraid of the medical stuff. Besides, my son was born in summer and at that time it was hot. It's better to use the natural cloth diapers so that his skin won't be harmful. But I will use the disposable diapers at night because it is too troublesome to change the cloth diapers at that time. I want my son to have a good sleep and don't be bothered by the wet cloth diapers. I love China

i don't have a child yet but definitely, when i have my own baby, i'll use cloth diaper when we're just at home. i think for me it's more economical since it can be washed and used again. but at night, and whenever we're going out, i'm gonna switch to disposable diapers.

My baby used diaper cloth at day time but in comes of sleeping at night I prefer to disposable diaper to make her comfortable. And also it was a big help to those mother who is working at day. Using disposable diaper at daytime always makes rashes which irritated to all babies. Better to alternate using disposable and disposable according to needs.

I used disposable diapers when my children were babies. If they had had problems wearing them, I would have changed to cloth. I found that bribery is an awesome tool when it comes to potty training.

hello seventh, I was using both when my kids were young. The convenience of using the disposables when going out,and the comfort for the kid for using cloth diapers when we are at home. Disposable diapers usually causes rashes due to some reasons. It could allergy with the materials,or becoz,it's not as comfortable unlike the cloth ones. Teaching our kids to use the toilet at early age is also a must. We can even teach them to tell us when they want to use the toilet as early as 1 yr old. This depends on how we can train our child.

Hi 7th, we used both for our kids. mom made cloth diapers for my son with embroidery. it's a labor of love. it's environment friendly. at night we use the disposavble diapers for them to enjoy sleep.

Hi. se7enthbird. My kids all use disposable diapers. It is so much more easier than using cloth diapers, that I have to clean out all of the time. It may cost more, but we always buy the reasonable brand at a great price too.

Disposable all the way. I didn't see anything wrong with using disposable. It's a lot less work for me and comfortable for my son. I change it every 4 hours now so that he won't get any skin irritation and wash bocy with water during every diaper change so that keeps him clean and happy. Cloth diapers seem to be more yucky to me that they may get things other than the diaper dirty.

Well for me I use disposable diapers for my kids but there was a time that my mom used cloth diaper when my kids were still on their infant stage. Right now my two year old daughter doesn't want to wear diapers in the morning anymore. She'll let us know if she would like pee or "popo".
