May 30, 2010 A recent Mothering article by Jennifer Margulis has convinced one mom to switch her child from disposables to cloth diapers. A post on her blog, The Moonlit Nest, explains "A month ago I read an article in Mothering magazine about cloth diapers.

We’re on our way back to Ashland. It seems to be raining all over the state of Oregon. This is the first car trip we’ve taken since the baby was born with the whole family, and we’ve used cloth diapers and EC the whole time. It’s not very hard to road trip with cloth diapers.
