| We at Diaper-eez try to ask all new parents-to-be if they have thought about the diapering question. To our surprise, most parents just assume they will use the disposable option. When we show them the washable cotton alternative, most are surprised to understand how simple, comfortable and affordable cotton diapering is. |

So, given that information, how will you choose to diaper your baby? |
