Stop-Don't Buy Disposable Diapers Until You Read This

Being a parent of a baby is wonderful - even though your baby will live their first two years wearing diapers. Our main priority as moms and dads is looking out for our baby.

Being a parent of a baby is wonderful - even though your baby will live their first two years wearing diapers. Our main priority as moms and dads is looking out for our baby. Because our lives are so busy - we are all looking for ways to make things easier. And sometimes the choices that we make aren't always the correct one.

The choice of diaper type that we as parents make can have a positive or negative influence on our child's health, their comfort, and the health of the world that we live in. And there is a great deal of money to be saved when people choose cloth diapers over disposable-style diapers.

Here are 7 great reasons for choosing cloth-style diapers over disposable-style diapers.

1. Better for the health of your baby. Sure today's disposable diapers are super-absorbent - but what makes them that way. They are made from a sodium polyacrylate which is a strong chemical that in studies has been shown to potentially lead to toxic shock syndrome. In addition, since disposables go through a bleaching process when they are manufactured a by-product of this process is a dangerous chemical (it's called Dioxin) that cause liver problems, suppression of the immune system and even genetic problems

2. Less chance of diaper rash. When your baby wears disposable diapers parents can be fooled into thinking that their baby is dry since the diapers are so absorbent. This often means that the baby is changed less than babies that are using cloth-type diapers. We use cloth diapers and find that they start to feel damp after approximately 4 hours. So the bottom line is that with cloth diapers your baby will be changed more often which means less chance of diaper rash. The material used in disposables is not very breathable versus cloth diapers which are made with breathable cotton. The hotter the baby's covered area the easier it is for bacteria growth - which results in diaper rash.

3. More comfortable for baby. We all know how comfortable cotton is to wear. Layers of cotton are what make up cloth diapers - and this means that it feels better against your baby's skin, they will be cooler than their disposable counterparts (especially in the middle of the Summer).

4. Save money - raising a baby is expensive and we all want to save money when we can. There have been numerous studies that compare the costs of purchasing disposables versus the cost of purchasing and washing cloth baby diapers at home. The results of the studies vary but they all agree that the cost of cloth, home laundered diapers, is considerably lower than buying disposables. Consider that over a 2 1/2 year period where there will be approximately 7,500 diaper changes, the savings of cloth over disposables is in the range of $1,000 to $2,000. This savings is even greater when you consider that the same diaper can be used for another baby. In our case - in Holden's first year we have saved over $800 by using cloth. Think of what you could do with the SAVINGS you earned from buying and laundering your own diapers!

5. Make our world better - Each year about a million tons of wood and 75 thousand tons of plastic go into the making of disposable diapers. Because cloth diapers are designed for a long life they can be used over and over for your first child, and over and over again for your second and third baby and so on. We`ve all learned how important it is to reuse whatever we can. A good cloth diaper can be washed a hundred or more times, and the laundering does use energy - but the cost is very small when you compared to the negative effects of using disposables. Studies tell us that we can expect a disposable to take four to five hundred years to be fully decomposed.

6. As easy to change as disposables. There is no argument it is easy to change a baby if you are using disposables. But today`s cloth diapers are as easy to use as the disposable type. This is especially true for the cloth diapers that have a built in outer liner. All cloth diapers nowadays use a snap closure or a Velcro-type closure to ensure a snug, good fit for your baby.

7. No outer diaper cover required - today there are all in one diapers that have a built in waterproof outer cover meaning that there is no need for a diaper cover.
