Calling all experienced CD-ing mothers!
I am 25 weeks pregnant with our first baby and I am struggling with the diaper decision. My mother used cloth diapers with all 4 of us and never had diaper rash issues, but my sister is using disposable and her DD has the worst skin. Poor baby screams when she gets changed. So I really want to use cloth diapers, especially after reading message boards here, on mothering.com, and at babycenter.com.
But the problem is I am in the Army, I work crazy hours and I cannot leave my job until next spring even though our DD is due to arrive in September. My mother always used a diaper service, but I cannot for the life of me locate one in the Greater Richmond, Virginia area. I am seriously intimidated by the idea of CD-ing my little cutie for the 7 to 8 months I'm still working full-time. I have nightmares about walking stacks of dirty diapers.
Any advice for a new working (at least for a few months) mummy? Has anyone else been able to balance CDs and a briefcase?
Thanks in advance- Kate
