Thanks for all the advice ladies! As for the diapers, Alex is dead set against cloth...but I think that's because he doesn't get how they work. I'm going to do both. Start off with a few cloth ones with liners, and also have disposable on hand. That way we can try them both out without putting too much of an investment into the cloth. As for the bumper...I decided on a breathable one from Target. Kristin, I checked out the skip hop brand and loved it. I think I just picked bad colors though because I couldn't find anything with the pattern I wanted. You guys are the best!
