We all know that disposable diapers are expensive.  The idea the one child can cost over $3000.00 on average is mind numbing. It is even worse that once spent the only other use a disposable will ever become is spot in a landfill. This along with the increasing cost of disposables as your child grows can leave you feeling as if you are just throwing your money away.

It is because of reasons such as these that modern cloth diapers are making such a comeback. The average lifespan of one cloth diaper is 2 to 3 years. (Not only will one cloth diaper be there for your first child its entire life but most likely help with your second as well). After a diaper has become deemed not usable it becomes rags for local companies cleaning staff around the city.  And when a cloth diaper reaches its final resting spot it decomposes much faster since it is only cotton.

• Cloth is more comfortable for baby than disposables as it is soft and breathable.
• No toxic products next to baby’s skin unlike disposables that are bleached, made of plastic and use chemicals to absorb moisture.
• Babies in cloth tend to be changed more often contributing to less skin irritations.
• On average your child in cloth diapers will potty train 6 months to a year earlier.
• Healthier for baby boys as it keeps their little sensitive parts at a cooler temperature. This has a direct effect on sperm production when they become adults. ~ Disease in Childhood Medical Journal Oct 2000.
