Midwifery/Natural Birthing/Diapers

I really don't remember how I got off on this subject, but with all the dangerous and often unnecessary interventions now used in hospital births, I thought it would be good to include some information on alternatives.

Diapers - What's this doing here?! How do you 'do' diapers? Disposables right? And what do you put the disposables in when done? Any idea the effect these have on the environment; how long this toxic mess takes to disentigrate?! (some of it doesn't). Of equal concern is what do these disposables do to your baby?
If you are the typical 'modern' mom - you really don't want to consider this, but there are some alternatives to disposables. Here is one of many online resources: Diapers
