If you want safe soft cloth next to baby's skin cloth diapers are for you!
Chemicals in disposable diapers can lead to Toxic Shock Syndrome, rashes, urinary tract infections, and possible reproductive dysfuntion. Cloth diapers have no gel (sodium polyacrylate) or dioxin which has been linked to cancer causing chemicals.
Disposable diapers make it harder to tell when paper needs changed which could lead to more diaper rashes on baby's sensitive skin.
Better For The Environment
Your baby needs to be changed, on average, 8 - 12 times a day, which adds up to about 5000 - 7000 diapers before they are potty trained. In a land-fill that would be about two tons of used, non-biodegradable waste per baby.
If you use cloth diapers you only need about 48 - 72 diapers until your baby is potty trained, and you can continue to pass them on! A single cloth diaper can be used over 75 times!
Better For Your Budget
Disposable diapers can cost $0.15 - $0.35 each and you will need 5000 - 7000 before potty training.
It costs about $0.03 in water, power, and detergent to wash cloth diapers.
By using cloth you can save over $1200 per child.
It is roughly $50 - $80 a month for disposable diapers and about $25 - $60 a month for cloth diapers.
