The Benefits of Cloth Diapers: Everybody Wins
There are many reasons to use cloth diapers for your baby. For approximately four months worth of disposable diapers you can have high quality fabric diapers that will last until time to potty train. The money saved can be quite substantial. Even when taking into account the time and money spent on washing and folding the diapers, you are still ahead to buy good quality cloth rather than disposable diapers.
Increasingly, consumers are stepping up the use of “green” products. By using cloth diapers you are not filling up landfills with plastic and other man-made materials. Disposable diapers are slow to decompose, if at all, so they stay in the landfills for years.
The same plastics and chemicals in disposable diapers that pollute the environment can be harmful to delicate infant skin. Instead of using disposables, you are placing soft cotton fiber against the skin of the baby. This lessens the chance of diaper rash.
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.
Diapers made of cloth can be colorful and have delicate prints or designs, so the infant doesn’t need another layer of clothing on top of the diapers in order to be well dressed. Fabric diapers are available as long as the laundry is done, so you never run out of diapers just when it’s time to go somewhere.
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.
