Reasons to cloth diaper

 #1 Reason The money honey!
The average newborn goes through about 8-12 diapers a day, and an older child goes through about 6-8. At my local walmart a box of name brand diapers is $20 four 86 size one diapers ( and rising!, that's about $0.23 a diaper! then you times that by the amount of uses in a day for ten diapers a day that's $2.30 then for the first you you times that by 365 days in the first year alone that's $839.50. But what they don't tell you is the amount of diapers in a box goes down the bigger in size your child wears, so this figure is gonna be quite a bit off. With cloth its a one time expense ( well maybe more if you get a little sucked into patterns ) of about  $249.00 and keep in mind this is until potty training, and again if you pick non gender patterns they can be used again for the next child making the cost per year much much lower than disposables!

#2 Quicker potty training
The switch from diapers to going in the potty is something parents look forward to, i know i sure do. Studies have show children wearing cloth tend to potty train faster than with disposables because now disposables tend to leave the child with the im dry feeling, with cloth yes it does seem just a tad gross they can feel that they are wet and most children want to learn how to potty train to avoid the feeling. I just want to add if you change your child's diapers regularly or at the first showing of pee or poop their are no ill effects from this

#3 Better for your child's bottom line
Cloth diapers tend to have less issue with diaper rash, irritated bottoms and other common complaints from disposable users. Fewer chemicals touch the baby's bottom and the less likely they are to be sensitive.

#4 Better for the planet
Disposables take about 100 years to dissolve back into the earth tending to take up massive amounts of room in landfills. Now here is where it gets gross most people dont know that you are supposed to flush the solid poop in disposable diapers down the toilet so that poop gets put into the landfill instead of being processed and broken down at a water treatment facility. It rains over the landfill the diapers get wet and the poop eventually makes its way down into the ground water supply. Nasty right?
