Cloth diapers or disposable diapers? Every new parent have to ask themselves this question when their first baby is born. Here are 8 distinct advantages of modern cloth diapers. Let’s take a look.
Cloth Diapers Are A LOT Less Expensive
Cloth diapers require a relatively small initial investment, and they can be used over and over again. Even your second and third child can re-use the diapers you purchased during your first pregnancy. The costs of cloth diapers sits more in the maintenance part, they need to be cleaned every day or every other day, and this would mean a couple of extra runs per week on the washing machine, but other than that they are cost efficient...
The cost of diapers varies from home to home. There are a few factors involved, e.g. the age of Baby (from newborn to potty) and frequency of diaper change. Newborns, compared to toddlers, go through more diapers daily. Here we use a simple calculation of an average of 7 disposable diapers used per day for the 1st 2 years of a child.
Even if we add the costs of a diaper pail, washing detergent plus water and electrical bills, you’ll still enjoy massive savings, which can be used to buy other necessities for your child, like milk powder, or put aside as savings for future school fees. What’s more, cloth diapers, when cared for properly, can be passed down to your next child, which means even more savings!
Although disposable diapers offer convenience, they do have several dangerous environmental drawbacks. Here are their 3 biggest harmful effects on our mother earth.
Not only do disposable diapers account for a lot of the trash taking over the nation's landfills, but they also pose serious risks to the environment and people alike.
