Gro Baby Cloth Diapers

Recapping the last few months: Working on Potty Training with Ethan, Leah has arrived...now almost 4 weeks old! Bailey has turned into a great big sister doggy. (She's hardly even bothered by Leah's arrival...except for the occasional interruption to her sleep!)

So I was reading up on some stuff after Leah came home. Found a link for some cloth diapers called Gro Baby. We've used regular disposable diapers with Ethan since he was born, and I've never tried cloth diapers before. I never really thought about using cloth diapers - figured it would just be a messy clean up process or would be difficult to get a sufficient supply to really make it work easily. However, a friend of mine decided to start using cloth diapers with her daughter a year or so ago, and I have been curious about using them after looking into the stuff about Gro Baby.

These diapers seem pretty straight forward...an outer shell that allows for use with newborns through toddlers. (8-35 lbs. can use them), an inner liner, and a booster for nighttime, naps or for long car rides.

Being a parent in today's economy...diapers can be expensive. Already buying diapers for Ethan's growing up has gotten pretty expensive, and now (hopefully for a short time --- we're working on Potty Training Ethan...but it's going all too slow) we're buying diapers for two! Diapers are expensive, diaper genie refill costs add up, etc. And this is only the cost. Not to mention the bags packed full of nasty diapers...the smell is pretty bad, and where does it end up? ..... sitting in a dump somewhere ..... Imagine all the nasty diapers heaped in a landfill somewhere...

Ok...I'm getting side tracked here.

Anyway, after looking at the site and talking with Mat about Gro Baby diapers and cloth diapering...we're interested and curious. How do they work? What's a good amount of shells, liners, etc. to have a good working supply? Does cloth diapering make potty training easier? What's the most challenging thing about using cloth diapers as opposed to regular diapers?

Any of you who use cloth diapers have any suggestions? Has anyone seen anything about these Gro Baby diapers or have you tried them before?

Imagine how much $$ would be saved....

Imagine how many diapers would be avoided from being thrown into a landfill.....
