I have never heard of using Disposbale for the first month, they used cloth in the Hospital where I had DD?? that seems a little odd?

As for spending less time with baby by using Disposables, I cannot agree with that, takes the same amount of time to change a nappy? Then dumoing it into a bucket washing hands & back to baby, well you still got to bin the Disposable & wash hands so I don''t get that, then at night when babay is in bed you put a load of nappies on & I would fold them when dry & baby was in bed, so there was no time ever that she was missing out on me. Also it is said it's easiier to toilet train a cloth nappy baby coz of the wet on their skin, DD was toilet trained day & night by 20 months. Personally I loved the nice fluffy cloth nappies..
