 Attention New Dads: If your partner wants to use cloth diapers with your newborn, you're going to be using cloth diapers. Just face the reality and don't fight it.

Moms may of course peek to.
And if you are still wondering why to use cloth diapers, you'll find some good reasons here.
How To Use Cloth Diapers
Tip #1: Purge your mind of everything you think you know about cloth diaper
come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colors. There are pre-folded diapers, fitted diapers, pocket diapers, printed or plain diapers, waterproof diaper covers, wool covers, snap diapers and more.
Forget about using those huge bulky safety pins as well. Put Snappis
Tip #2: Arrange a demoUndoubtedly, the idea for using cloth diapers didn't just materialize on it's own. You have friends who use or have used cloth diapers and maybe your parents used them on you.I was really nervous about using cloth diapers so when talking with some friends who had a baby in cloth diapers, I cracked a joke about wishing I could practice on a baby. They thought I was serious and offered up their toddler as my "guinea pig" so to speak. We went over their house for dinner, looked at all kinds of cloth diapers they used, and I got to practice on their toddler. Not only did it relieve some of my concerns, but we also got to borrow many of their smaller, newborn size fitted diapers and diaper covers for our daughter.
Tip #3: Add a diaper sprayer to your wish list
