Cloth Diapers- Pros and Cons

Now that my toddler is (or should be) potty training, I guess it's about time I get around to posting about those cloth diapers.  Did you know that one of the benefit to cloth diapering is that most children who use them will want to potty train earlier?  That's because disposables are so good at soaking away all that wetness that it doesn't really bother them.  However, cloth diapers don't and that can be uncomfortable.  Because cloth diapers don't soak it all in, you do need to be on top of changing. No sitting in a soiled diaper for hours or that could lead to some serious diaper rash.

There are several pros and con to cloth diapering.  I used to be against them as my earlier post will show.  Here are reasons for and against

Against-
Rinsing and washing poo
More diaper changes (possibly)
Large up front cost

The biggest pro can be the money.  Do they really save all that much?  I had cheap disposables and wasn't all that convinced until I did some math.
