Cloth vs. Disposables

So we spent half the day over at our friends' house. They have a baby 1 month younger than Zachary. We were talking about middle-of-the-night feedings at one point and the mom commented that when the baby fusses in the middle of the night she waits for her husband to change the diaper, then she wakes up to feed her. My first reaction was, "Wow, he helps out in the middle of the night!" (Curtis does help on the weekends, with a little encouragement). But the second thing that struck me is that we don't change the diaper in the middle of the night. We do cloth diapers while they're using disposables. The nice thing about cloth diapers is I can double-diaper for night time. I use a second diaper, fold it up, and use it as a liner. Zachary stays dry all night (12 hours, easy). Another benefit to using cloth :)
