Why Should I Use Cloth Diapers Over Disposable Diapers?

If you are doubtful that cloth diapers are the way to go over disposables, then this article will point out a few reasons to convince you reusable is the way to go. Your baby's first carbon foot steps, the substantial savings, the environmental reasons and the health of your baby are the top reasons, not to mention your baby will be a fashionista!

Your Baby's First Carbon Footsteps
Do you know what goes in to disposable diapers? Crude oil and wood pulp! Did you know 25 million trees are consumed and manufactured into disposable diapers every year? These diapers will still be around long after the trees used to make them are no longer even a memory, a staggering 500 years from now!

Substantial Savings
6000 diaper changes are estimated from your baby's birth to toilet training. At about $2500 a year spent (in wipes and disposables) you can save $2000 or more by taking the green path and using reusable. The $500 goes to extra power and water and the startup cost of diapering. You can actually save even more money by scouring the internet for Giveaway and Review sites that offer discounts, freebies, samples and contests to win your own diapers at little or FREE.

Environmental
Did you know you are supposed to shake the "raw sewage out of your disposable before throwing it away? Read the back of any diaper bag or box. "IMPORTANT: Shake baby soil into toilet" The raw sewage that is tossed into our landfills via disposable diapers contaminates the water we drink, the water that goes to feed the food we eat and breeds illness and bacteria. Yuck!

Baby's Health
Disposables are a major contributor to diaper rash, containing Dioxin, Sodium Polyacrylate, and Tributylin. Can you even say those words? You know what is in my baby's diapers? Cotton, fleece and Hemp! Your baby's skin is new and absorbent. Which would you prefer your baby absorb?

Today's cloth diapering is not your mama's white diaper. You can get funky with your style and express you baby's inner self! Get wild and crazy or be soft and beautiful. So may choices to choose from. Go cloth for your baby, your wallet and the earth!
