I cloth diapered for many years between all four kids, and honestly, I went the full gammit of my preferences.
There was a time that prefolds were my absolute die hard faves. In fact, for a time, flats was it for me.
There was also a time that I fell in love with the simplicity of pockets. And another time for fitteds.
And my fave has not always been the same for different kids at different stages.
That's why I LOVE that there are so many cd'ing systems out there.
