Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I just love the classifieds. Ever since I found out my wife and I are having a baby, I've been reading ads every day looking for anything baby related. It's already saved me a lot of money! I bought a crib and changing table from a couple that never used them. They practically gave it to me because they didn't like the style. From another ad I found bags of great baby clothes. Most of those were never worn and still had the tags on them. Then last week I came across an ad for cloth diapers. Someone was selling a whole collection, some never used. I didn't even know they still made cloth diapers. I thought they disappeared when disposables were invented. Buying the whole lot sounds like it could save even more money. Do you think cloth diapers are a good idea and is it okay to buy them used? Please let me know, I'm on a timeline. The baby is due soon!

finding everything at such a great deal. Carry: As an expecting parent, you're bound to get countless advice from friends, family, and even complete strangers! Everyone has an opinion. And the decision of whether to use cloth diapers or disposables is no exception. Cash: There are adamant fans of both kinds, so deciding if they are right for you is simply a choice you and your wife will have to make for yourselves. However, like disposables, cloth diapers have made a lot of changes over the years. Carry: The cloth diapers of the past were mostly a single layer of cotton material, usually held
together with safety pins. Today's cloth diapers can have double or triple layers or fiber-filled strips to make them more absorbent. They can come with velcro or snaps that make them as easy to use as disposable diapers. If you choose to go with cloth, you'll find plenty of options. Cash: As with buying anything used, you'll want to make sure you look for items that are in great condition. That way you can still get a lot of use out of them. Most people who use cloth diapers find them to be a very cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative. Carry: However, regardless of which type you choose, there is one thing for sure: You're bound to get very good at changing them!

Having a baby means making many hard decisions. And one of the first can be choosing the perfect name. For some people it's traditional to use a family name from previous generations. For others, the choice is not as clear. Fortunately if you’re not sure where to begin, the Social Security Administration keeps a list of the most popular names chosen over the last decade. The most popular boy name was Jacob, followed by Michael, then Joshua. On the girl's side, the top three names were Emily, Madison and Emma.
When my son no longer needed cloth diapers, I placed an ad and put them up for sale. It wasn't long before a couple came to look with their young daughter. They were a few months away from having their second child. The husband explained that after his daughter was born, they spent almost $3000 on disposable diapers, $4000 on furniture for the nursery and $1500 on baby clothes. Shaking his head at the costs he said, "This time we plan on keeping expenses down by recycling." "Like using cloth diapers?" I suggested. "Kind of," his wife said patting her belly. "And teaching our future son to like pink!" (Thanks to Melody H)
Diaper Dump If you've been a parent, you know changing diapers can be a full time job. According to calculations by the Real Diaper Association, over 27 billion disposable diapers are consumed every year. That's a lot of changes! Since nearly all of these diapers are discarded, rather than recycled, they are now the third largest consumer item added to landfills. Considering diapers can take 250 to 300 years to decompose, it's a mess that will be around for years to come. •
