Go with the cloth whenever you can. Saves money, waste produced, oil used, and helps get your kid out of the diapers quicker. I did a ton of research on this 5 years ago when my wife and I produced Toilet Training Begins at Birth. Looks like the general public is ripe for this “Green” toilet training method!
