I haven't had a chance to read through everyone else's replies, but I had to say something.

Don't doubt for a second your choise to use cloth.
I've only been using them for a few weeks now but they are by far HEAPS better then disposables. Unfortunatley I don't have enough yet to use them exclusively so I have to use disposables once in a while (soon I'll have enough...soon). When ever I but B in disposables he gets all red and hot looking under his diaper, he gets a nappy rash and they don't even come close to containing his pees. So I get to change my clthes and his if I'm holding him or if he's in bed I have to do his sheets and mattress protector, his wrap and sometimes his blankets (so as far as being more work beadcuse you have to wash them it's actually more work for me to have to use the disposables.
I've never had a single pee leak with my MCN's and I've only had one or two explod-a-poos make it out (but I don't think anything would have contained those).
