 Hi all- I'm due in may/June with twin girls and am
 considering a cloth diaper service for the first 3-6
 months and then maybe doing it on our own. We used the
 Amazon 7th generation service for disposables for our
 older son, but with double the diapers and cost, cloth
 is starting to be more appealing. This post has a lot
 of good information. Any other advice from anyone? My
 husband also needs convincing, he hates to get his
 hands dirty (though he was an excellent diaper changer
 with our first) so need to keep this experience simple.
