I not only breastfed my four but I had the first three in cloth diapers because of finances and simply because I liked the whole cotton thing. And the more that people looked down with scorn for what I did the more drive I had to do it.

Plus, my first baby was a 10 lb. c-section birth ... and of course everyone but my midwife said all the rest had to be c-sections as well. Well, the next three were regular deliveries with no complications.

That said, even with breast feeding two of mine had chronic ear infections, the other two never did.

Yes, we did the cloth diaper thing too. Just seemed like a better way to go as opposed to those humongous packages of disposables they sell at the supermarket. The Dydee man would pick up the used ones and drop off the fresh clean ones on our doorstep. Cotton breathes a lot easier than plastic and never had to deal with diaper rash issues.
