What are the Benefits of Cloth Diapers?
Cloth diapers were once the only option parents had for diapering their babies until the disposable diaper hit the market. At that point, cloth diapers became a choice instead of a necessity. Upon the advent of disposable diapers, most people elected to use them over cloth diapers for their convenience. Now cloth diapers have come full circle and for many, the benefits of cloth diapers far outweigh the convenience of disposable. Cloth diapers offer have many benefits to parents. They are often more economical than disposable diapers, even when you factor in the cost of laundering or using a diaper service. Cloth diapers are not necessarily less convenient than disposable diapers. If you read the manufacturer’s directions on some disposable diapers, you will see that they actually recommend flushing waste before you dispose of the diaper. If you followed this practice, you would not be saving any more time using one over the other. Another benefit of cloth diapers is your baby’s health.
