While she insisted this last was essential for relief of engorgement [...]

The Diaper Lady

May 2, 2004

For the past eight months, I’ve been struggling with the cloth diaper issue. I know cloth diapers are less expensive than disposables, that they’re better for the environment, that they’re better for the baby. It never occured to me for a second to use anything else for Rio.
