When my son was born eight years ago, I thought I would use cloth diapers.  Really, I did.  I planned to be a green, crunchy granola mother, using breastfeeding, attachment parenting and cloth diapers.  This was all before it was super hip to be green.  When I was pregnant, I spoke another mom and she said I was crazy to try cloth diapers.  Breastfeeding was good, because the "plumbing" was all there, but cloth diapers was another story.
