In Using Cloth Diapers
Actually, because the baby can detect more easily when the diaper is wet or soiled, the baby lets me know when to change him and he's not had a single case of diaper rash yet! Some people have suggested for me to use cloth wipes too (a cloth rag), but I've recieved so many disposable wipes as gifts, that I've not used the cloth ones yet. Once I run out of the disposables, I intend to use cloth for that as well.
