With money really tight it was cloth diapers and rubber pants for all, and lots of hand lotion. My hands were already red and raw with the boys, (dunking and rinsing diapers), but when my daughter came along they only got worse.

Granted, the Munchkin is in the process of potty training, which cuts down on the number of diapers used, but we're using cloth training pants, not pull-ups. I'm not trying to be environmentally-friendly or anything... using cloth diapers, especially here at home, was more cost-effective and practical. We use disposables for nighttime (the kids would just soak through even a double-cloth diaper after 10 hours and I was tired of changing sheets and doing all that extra laundry) and for when people who are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with cloth are watching the kids. All it meant when Baby Boy came along was that we got a bigger diaper pail and did maybe one more load in a week. Actually, I find that the Costco Kirkland brand of disposables are pretty decent. Of course, any disposable diaper will break down when you feed your child and then don't change them for hours. Um, but that wasn't me... We keep a hand sanitizer pump on the changing table for an extra cleaning "boost" when we've got two kids to change and can't wash hands in between. After using that stuff, though, a good hand lotion is a must. Okay, I must be a crazy person, because I use cloth for TWO kids!

We're expecting our first child in December, and my husband and I are pretty clueless about diapers. I'm pretty sure that the last time I sat for a friend's one-year-old, I put the diaper on backward. But at least it was snug!
