A few weeks ago, over on Instagram, I posted a picture that included my cloth diapers. Afterwards, I had tons of questions about why we made the decision to cloth diaper. I certainly am not saying that cloth diapering is right for every family, nor am I judging anyone who chooses to use disposables. But like the millions of options available for babies, everyone is going to have different opinions. For our family, we decided that cloth diapering was the best choice.
