In both the cloth and doing the EC (potty "training") it's been a week, and both are going great! I'm really learning about my daughter's patterns and can predict a lot of her output, and the way I see it is every diaper saved is $$$ and good ecological practice. I lose track of her output pattern when we're out and about, which is often with two older children, but at least in the AM's and PM's I can get her. She seems to like it.

Further, she's actually been DRY at night, all night, for the last four days... and while I put a disposable on her at night cause she doesn't like her wet heiny in her cloth and I don't want her waking for that (selfish? You bet!), I've been able to reuse it.

So between the two - the cloth and the EC - we've had surprisingly little waste. I'm doing diaper laundry about every third day, and it's a small to medium load, and I've tossed two disposables, only because I had no covers one day as they were both in the wash (yes I have more coming in the mail, two isn't enough), and one for a long bike ride (I wasn't gonna make her sit in a wet cloth for that long).

So, as far as I'm concerned, thus far this venture is a complete success!
