I did very little research before I started cloth diapering, but I just knew that it was something I wanted to do. I have done more on the job research which only leads me to believe that I have made the right decision. I am now obsessed with cloth diapering and wish that I had done it with my two older ones. I have a friend that just had twins and she actually came to me for advice. What a good feeling!
