comment How to motivate yourself to read stories to a kid whom you know cannot understand and respond accordingly?
I read Don Quixote to my son all the time when he was an infant. When they are old enough to understand and care, they will definitely let you know.

@TorbenGundtofte-Bruun I added some more about what motivated the question. Hopefully this clarifies things somewhat.

comment Should we switch from cloth to disposable diapers?
I agree. What I feel is unclear in your answer is the system you are using to determine that these efforts are sufficient. If another parent were to arrive at this question with a similar problem I don't think they would be able to extrapolate your answer to a more general case. For example, in this case they stripped and switched detergents 1 time. Why is this enough effort while switching additional times would be fruitless? Do you have experience or evidence to support this threshold that other parents could draw from?
