Use whichever makes you comfortable. In western countries they use diapers all the time.
There are pros and cons of all types
- disposable diapers
- cloth diapers
- cloth underwear
So choose whichever suits you best.
Make sure to avoid diaper rashes from developing and let the child be diaper free for a few hours per day.

Diaper should not be used for more then 3-4 hours at a stretch . Keep a rubber mat on bed and make baby wear cotton clothes
