Nappy or Diapers for the 1st 3 months

I have been doing a lot of research online and consulting my friends who are caring for their 'little' ones. :-) (Rabbit must be thinking that I am jumping 5 steps ahead again)

Seems like a real struggle to decide on which one to use:

Nappy
Advantages:
1) Long term savings, which is important
2) Less likely to have nappy rash
3) Enviromentally Friendly

Disadvantages:
1) Time consuming, in terms of cleaning and washing
2) Have to be cautious, must sterlises

Disposable Diapers
Advantages:
1) No hassle as it is disposable
2) Convienient to buy

Disadvantages
1) Enviromentally unfriendly
2) Costly (a New Born needs an average of 8 diapers a day, 8*7*4*3*$0.30=$201.60)
3) Higher chance of nappy rash

Hmmmm... what do u all think? I am still considering :-)

When mommy is awake and baby is at home.

Diapers:
When mommy is sleeping or when baby is out and about
