Reasons Why You Should Use Cloth Diapers

Monday, December 21st, 2009

The cloth diaper has evolved over the last few decades. There have been many changes in the cloth diaper that have made them just as easy to use and practical as a disposable diaper. Using cloth on your baby has great benefits compared to using more modern disposable diapers. Here are four reasons that modern parents may want to use cloth diapers instead of disposables.

Comfort: You have bought the softest blankets, clothes, and toys. You have made sure that none of the tags are scratchy and nothing will make your baby uncomfortable. Naturally you would want the diaper you put on your baby to be as comfortable as possible too. Cloth diapers are made of just that, cloth. Soft, stretchy cloth will be against your baby’s skin. Disposable diapers are made from paper. Scratchy, rough paper will be against your baby’s skin.

Health: You are trying to do everything to keep your baby safe. You have baby proofed your house, not small parts are anywhere to be found, and you are feeding your baby just what the doctor ordered. But by using disposable diapers you are exposing your baby to some of the harshest chemicals around. Disposables contain many chemicals not limited to Dioxin. By using cloth diapers you have taken away all exposure to the dangerous chemicals found in disposables.

Environment: The environment also benefits from the use of cloth diaper. Did you know that an estimated 10,00 tons of disposable diapers enter landfills each day! A disposable diaper can take almost 500 years to decompose. Talk about taking up a lot of space! Did you also know the over 80% of American households use disposable diapers. Another benefit of cloth baby diapers is they can be saved for the next child, even be resold, or just used as rags after their lifespan has run out.

Cost: In our current economic times we are all trying to find ways to save money and cut costs. Did you realize that it is estimated that by the time a child reaches two years old the average consumer will have spent $1,600 in diapers. That is $66 per month. While if you use cloth diapers you will spend between $300 (using prefolds and covers) to $1000 (using organic materials and other expensive brands). What a difference! Not only is there that savings but those used diapers can be sold to recoup some of your costs or they can be used for future children. It is hard to correctly estimate the total savings because the possibilities to save are so many.
