The Why of Cloth Diapers
When you are preparing for the birth of a baby, there seems to be so many things that you need. You need a car seat, but which one? Do you need crib, bassinet, changing table, high chair? Do you need a swing, sling, bouncy seat?
I'll bet you have not even considered diapers being a decision you needed to make! When most people think about the alternatives to disposable diapers we conjure up images of messy, leaky cotton squares swishing in the toilet. Yuck! Most don�t realize that cloth diapers have evolved! Gone are the days of dunking in the toilet and pins and plastic pants! Now cloth diapers close with Velcro or snaps. Some even have a waterproof barrier built right in!
Today people use cloth diapers for a variety of reasons. Some people want to save money, others are concerned about the health and environmental risks that disposable diapers pose. On this page you can find some basic information, cloth/disposable comparisons, information about the monetary, health and environmental benefits of cloth diapers as well as some first-hand accounts about the decision to use cloth diapers.
