I remember when you heard this same information almost 4 years ago. I think your response was something like, "I don't know about all that cloth stuff, sounds icky." You've come a long way since then, way to grow girl!
Of course I'm your cloth and sposie using friend and I know both sides oh so well.
It has nice to be able to have choices. What works best for one family isn't always great for another family. In our family I'm glad for the opportunity to use both cloth and sposies at different times for my boys when it worked for us. It's also neat that some green companies are creating alternative sposies that eliminate some of the concerns you mentioned.
exactly why I started using cloth! nasty chemicals! blah.. but im guilty of using sposies too...
