			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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  <a href="http://www.thanksmama.com">cloth diapers</a>  instead of disposables.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s skin. Disposable diapers are made from paper. Scratchy, rough paper will be against your baby&#8217;s skin.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Getting your baby into cloth diapers is easy at  <a href="http://www.thanksmama.com">Thanks Mama</a> . Thanks Mama has cloth diapers, diaper covers, training pants and more from top brands like BumGenius, Fuzzi Bunz, Blue Penguin and Bummis.

They offer a 30 day money back guarantee return policy for unused and unwashed items, and offer quantity discounts on the brands. If you&#8217;re new to cloth diapering and are unsure of the size or style of diaper to buy for your baby, Thanks Mama offers free, personalized diaper recommendation based on your baby&#8217;s measurements. If the diaper doesn&#8217;t work for you, they&#8217;ll refund your money! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to dress your baby in clothing made without pesticides and toxic fabric finishes, organic baby clothes are a smart choice. Certified organic cotton baby clothing is also free of flame retardants, heavy metals and petrochemicals and other toxins that could be harmful to a developing baby. Whether you are shopping for a new baby or making over your baby&#8217;s wardrobe, here are some tips to help you navigate through the world of organic baby clothing.</p>
<p>With the growing popularity of organic baby clothes, you can find it almost anywhere you look. If you like to shop online there are plenty of boutiques that specialize in organic baby clothing. As you decide which brands you like, you can also buy directly from the manufacturer. While you may not save money shopping direct, you will be able to choose from more of your favorite brand&#8217;s product offerings.</p>
<p>You can also buy from online shop owners on website such as http://www.organicbabybrands.com/ &#8211; <a href="http://www.organicbabybrands.com">Organic Baby Brands</a> for Infants &#038; Toddlers. A showcase of the baby industry&#8217;s top organic baby brands and what products they have to offer. Huge variety of <a href="http://www.organicbabybrands.com">organic baby products</a> &#038; pictures.</p>
<p>There is no denying that organic baby clothing costs more than conventional clothing, but if you shop smart, you can dress your baby in organic cotton or other natural fibers for reasonable prices. Coupons, sales and comparison shopping are just a few methods. Furthermore, if you are easing your way into organic clothing, you can start with the pieces that will be closest to your baby&#8217;s skin and worn most often. You can&#8217;t go wrong with body suits, t-shirts and leggings. They can be worn alone or layered under other outfits. For this same reason you may want to go with solid colors that can be mixed and matched for variety.</p>
<p>Wherever you shop and whatever your price point, be sure to read the labels and inspect the fabric. You don&#8217;t want to be fooled by marketing buzz words like &#8220;all natural&#8221; or even &#8220;organic.&#8221; An article of organic baby clothing will be labeled as 100% organic and not blended with synthetic fabrics.</p>
