They work out loads cheaper than disposables in the long run- just think about how many disposables you get through in a month, then a year etc, especially if you plan to have more babies! I use a combo- resusables during the day, a disposable at night because they are more absorbant and sometimes a disposable if we're going out or away.
I love those funky wraps! Elliott just has the motherease ones although they do have little fishes and animals on etc!
