Okay then, you have convinced me about the fantastic financial savings, but isn’t using cloth a lot of hard work?
Nope! Certainly not! When you consider that you will have to wash, rewash, and wash again clothes, sheets and just about everything else due to leaking disposables, washing a load of cloth nappies every second day is a piece of cake, because it is a very rare occurrence that you will experience leaks whilst using a quality cloth system. Besides, having a baby means extra washing anyway. Seriously, an extra load every two days hardly makes a difference. And contrary to popular belief, you do NOT have to soak nappies, and cart around heavy water filled buckets. Nor do you need to wash poo-ey nappies by hand. It really is a simple process to care for your nappies! Check out ‘caring for your nappy system’ to see how modern mummas use their modern cloth nappies.
