To Cloth Diaper or Not?

I have been turning over in my mind whether I am going to start cloth diapering Ky.  She is currently going through 4-5 diapers a day, which is half what is was when she was a newborn.  I have a lot more disposables left in my stash so I was thinking I could add maybe one or two cloths in at a time to our rotation and see how it goes.  I think the deciding point for me was all of the trash that disposable diapers produce. I took out her diaper trash and was surprised at how heavy it was.  It just doesn't seem right to me to continue on this wasteful path when I could prevent it completely.  I have started hanging out with some momma's who cloth diaper and it has helped me see that it isn't so "scary and gross".  I guess education and exposure to cloth diapering have gone a long way for me.  I feel like I am slowly turning in to a hippie momma!  Wish us luck!
