We decided to use cloth diapers during the day mainly for economical reasons. When we first started researching this subject, we were surprised that there are so many different kinds of cloth diapers. All-in-ones, pocket, diaper cover, prefold, flat, contour... and then there are hundreds of brands.
Well, we didn't actually use up all the disposable diapers we received as gifts until after Junior was 7 weeks old. Since then we've been using cloth diapers, and we actually like it a lot. We're mainly using flat diapers and diaper covers that our Korean relatives sent to us. We also bought a handful of all-in-one, pocket, and diaper covers to try them out. Our favorites are the Korean diapers because they're all cotton and easy to wash. We've had several leaking accidents, but I'm not sure they are any more frequent than with disposable diapers. Overall the cloth diapers have contained the messes pretty well considering Junior is now saving up his poops for one big poop a day.
We're still using disposables at night time, because he seems to notice dirty diapers more easily with the cotton diapers. We'll have to experiment with the fleece-lined diapers for night time.... some day.
