I often hear people talking about how expensive cloth diapering is and every time I hear this, I'm astonished.  CLOTH DIAPERING IS NOT EXPENSIVE!!  In fact, saving money is a prime reason that many people decide to use cloth. 

There is definately a bigger initial investment with cloth diapers because you need to buy a good number of them right off the bat.  However, in the long run, you will save! 

Disposable diapers will cost anywhere from $1800-$2400 (depending on brand and how early you toilet train).  Cloth diapers also range in price.  You can spend anywhere from $450 (for prefolds and covers) to $1200 (if you use all-in-one diapers and buy approx. 22 of each size).  Looking at those numbers, there is definately a savings. 

This does not even bring into account the fact that cloth diapers will last for multiple children. 
Also, when you're done with them, cloth diapers are easily sold on Kijiji or Craigslist. 

If the initial cost is too much for you, consider suggesting cloth diapers as gifts at your baby shower or when your baby is born.  You can also register with Lovable Little Tree huggers here to make sure others are getting you the styles and colours you want.

Another myth busted - cloth diapering is definately not expensive.  In reality, cloth diapering will save you money!
