I dealt with cloth diapers with nephews and nieces in the 70's. You do not want to have to rinse the shite out of a cloth diaper in the toilet just so you can put it in a pile with the piss soaked diapers waiting to be put in the washing machine.
Plus, there is no guiltier feeling than accidentally sticking a baby with a safety pin.

Also: Toddler's sitting in a pool of piss on your floor because the rubber pants you put on over their diaper never works.

Buy the diaper cloths and use them as burpcloths / drying after wetnap wipes

they are really useful for that as well.
cant wait for the op to freak out when the little one spits up and throws up milk for the first time due to allergies or nasal drip.

They save money in the long run but it's a lot of work keeping them clean. We had plans on it but my wife eventually said eff that.

GEt a Costco membership and buy diapers and wipes in bulk. The diaper savings alone will pay for your membership.

So you were washing the cloth diapers with the rest of your laundry?

Look dude, no safety pins. These aren't your grandpa's cloth diapers. They have replaceable hemp inserts that are super adsorbent, with snap buttons. It's not the horror show that most of y'all are saying. We kept them in a breathable bag that we washed with the diapers probably twice a week. Yes, you're going to get your hands a little dirty, but you're not going to get shite all over your washing machine. They make detergents specifically for cloth diapers that get all the smell out of them while also not being harsh on your kid's bottom. We went disposable for probably the first 6-8 months before we switched to cloth. Pretty decent upfront cost, but got over half of it back when we resold the diapers as used. Not a big deal.

Yeah, we loved those things. And you can keep adjusting what snaps you use as your baby gets bigger.

And it's not just a decision based on cost. We were having major issues with blow-out diapers and diaper rash with the disposables. The cloth diapers made those issues virtually disappear. The real trick is finding a daycare that's on board with the cloth diapers too. Thankfully our's was cool, and we dropped off an empty "dirty" bag with about 4-5 clean diapers every morning, and picked up the full "dirty" bag and any leftover clean ones every afternoon. When we got home, we had to rinse out the diapers with a spray nozzle hooked up to the toilet. It's work and yes grosser than just throwing a diaper in the trash, but it worked for us and was extremely cheaper in the long run. I have no remorse whatsoever.

Yes, yes you are.....it only gets worse from here. All of this love and horniness, but you forgot the fine print. Is it a boy or girl? If a boy, Your problems end relatively early. If it's a girl, you will look back on this diaper thing as the good ole days.

Due to her decision that those dastardly disposable diapers definitely damage children through disease(cancer). My wife paid almost $300 for something like 50-75 cloth diapers INSISTING we would use them.
After I convinced her literally anything could "cause" cancer. We have used regular diapers the entire time.
I advise the Aldi's brand diapers. Just as good, if not better, than pampers. Pampers is what 90% of hospitals use. Pampers does also have a line that changes color to show when they are wet, which is helpful when they are tiny.
Though I would add that having some cloth diapers around to use as swimming diapers is quite helpful.

Don't be scared...of the kid. The woman you are having him with sounds like your biggest problem.
While having a kid is a lot of work, it's also LOADS of fun.
I'll be honest, when they are 0-5 months old is when they are the easiest to handle. Outside of the lack of sleep.
Everytime after that, when they get past a hurdle and you think you can relax, a new job appears.
They are off bottles and are now eating food? Now you have to feed them. They get big enough to feed themselves, now you have to start potty training. They start walking, now you have to keep them from killing themselves. Etc...
But as much work as they are, they are 10 fold more rewarding. Kid's are fantastic. Really. I love my son with EVERYTHING that I am, and each new word or new skill he learns makes my day.
But he does run me ragged.

I agree. I have an almost two-year old and I swear we have aged twenty years since she has graced this earth. Last night my husband and I were on her like white on rice and she *still* managed to break my water bottle. They are so much easier when they are little blobs.
Outside of resell, cloth diapers really only save you money if you are planning to use them for multiple kids and plan to keep them at home. No daycares in my area will use them and they are required by the state to change diapers every two hours, even when they aren't used. So even if you use cloth at home, you will still be blowing through disposable at daycare.
The best way I found to cut costs was to stockpile using coupons and cost savings programs at CVS. I was averaging $3 pack for Huggies and Pampers. I gambled that my kid wouldn't have sensitive skin and stockpiled while I was pregnant. If she outgrew a size and I had unopened packs, just exchanged for the right size. Didn't have to buy more until she was almost a year old.

Amazon Prime.... Costco.... There are better options.
Life is too short to be constantly cleaning shite. On the topic, ever have a diaper genie bag break before you get it out to the outside garbage can?

Cloth diapers were used LONG before the disposable diapers were invented.
