Please don't let Adrian get too nervous about cloth diapers!! That would be a big bummer for us, considering I have already sarted you a nice stash!
Tell him that I will give him a tutorial...trust me, it's no different then those nasty disposables when it comes to changing time...they're just a
whole lot cuter, and more comfortable for baby! I will make sure there are some that are really easy just for him

No worries...we're just back from San Roque and had a little diaper talk...geezo...who'da thunk we'd be discussing cloth diapers on Nomad eh!!!
But when ya think about it, it's an important issue...especially in Baja and it only takes one to start the eco diaper ball rolling...I truly hope
this will result in converting some more parents here to cloth diapers. I have just had it picking up dirty disposables everywhere...the dogs somehow
get them and bring em home and you just see them everywhere...on beaches,, in arroyos etc....plus they are better for baby which is what is
important....so a huge gracias to bajafam and all of you who care about reducing the scourge of disposable diapers.

And in the long run a whole lot less expensive as well as being eco-friendly..... Thank You for hopefully starting a new trend here... Many orphanages
would benefit from this as well........

Cloth diapers being more green might be a pile of crap:

Ooh no worries Bajafam, when it comes to diapers it's my choice and Adrian will support any decision 
I'd heard that before Bajaboy, but I still like the idea of cloth diapers, since both Adrian and I were cloth bum babies!
As my mom said, the neighborhood dogs like to get in to the trash bins and dig out the dirty diapers and leave em out on the street....calls for nasty
smelling sidewalks and not to mention nasty smelling dogs!!!

Did you read this link? It sez...
"A 2000 German study concluded that boys who wear disposable diapers maintain a higher scrotal temperature than boys wearing cloth diapers, which may
pose fertility issues later in life. "
Explain this to Adrian, Sirenita... I'm sure it will add to his support of your decision.

If disposables have less impact, then I suppose we should all abandon clothes washing and buy disposable clothing instead?!
But seriously, those studies are flawed in many ways, and are mostly funded by disposable diaper manufacturers. The way I see it is, would YOU like to
sit in a plastic diaper filled with chemicals and your own waste for hours on end?

I read the study and found it pointed out the pros and cons of both disposable versus washable. I try and keep an open mind on subjects such as this.
As for your last comment, I suggest you change the diaper when it is dirty regardless of material. That is cruel to leave a baby in a dirty diaper for hours on end.

If you all had picked up as many disposable diapers as I have over the years, on Public Land & in the National Parks, you would opt for cloth
ones, every time!!!
Yuck!!!!
I rest my case.

Well, I do change diapers frequently...often, it seems every 10 minutes! But some mamas don't. That's the um...beauty of disposables. You can't tell
by feeling if the diaper is wet. So, I guess the bottom line is, would you rather your underwear be plastic, paper, wood pulp and chemicals (like
disposables) or cotton, organic cotton, hemp, or bamboo velour (like cloth)? Hmmm.... I think I know the answer

I had a s****y experience when I misunderstood the label on a box of disposable diapers. It said: "Good for up to 20 pounds!"
Two dirt roads diverged in Baja and I, I took the one less graveled by......

Oh my...diaper land discussion much???
Both have their pro's and con's, we will probably keep a small stash of disposables for when we are traveling or for other emergency situations where
having a soiled cloth nappy isn't the best, but I like the cloth diapers for many other reasons aside from the ecological impact.
