The Argument For Cloth Diapers: Good For your Baby. Good For The Environment
Using cloth diapers for the early months of your baby’s life is a good choice for several different reasons. If you look at cost alone, the price of quality fabric diapers is approximately equal to less than three months worth of disposable diapers. If you add the price of the diapers to the cost of laundry for washable diapers to the initial price, you still will be paying less than you would for four months of disposables.
Consumers today are more attuned to the use of environmentally friendly products. Using cloth diapers is more ecologically responsible. Disposable diapers contain materials that don’t decompose, so they stay in landfills indefinitely.
It is also great not to be putting plastic and chemicals next to your baby’s skin. A cloth diaper can cut down on diaper rash. With the new diapers, there is fluffy cotton against baby’s skin.
A cotton diaper is more comfortable for the child and fits smoothly. You can fold it to fit the size of the baby, so you won’t be dealing with leaks and messes. Safety pins fasten cloth garments, so it’s hard for your baby to accidentally open the diaper.
Pretty and colorful diapers made of cloth are attractive so you won’t need an additional layer of clothing for baby to be well dressed and look good. You are less likely to run out of cotton diapers. There are always clean diapers waiting and on the shelf. With disposables it seems as if you always run out of diapers just about the time that you are leaving the house.
Potty training is easier and earlier with infants who wear cloth diapers. This is easier on parents. It is less stressful for the child and the environment is better off too.
