| Reasons to Cloth Diaper Why cloth diaper? We think they're so darn cute that you won't be able to resist! For those of you who remain unconvinced, here are a few more practical reasons.... Health Benefits Many parents choose to cloth diaper due to the health concerns that are associated with disposables. Some children have sensitive skin that can be aggravated by disposables. Other parents worry about the harsh chemicals that are found in disposables. According to GNM Parents, the chemicals in disposable diapers have been linked to the development of asthma. In addition, disposables are the cause of poor air circulation and have been linked to male infertility. Cloth diapers are a much safer, healthier choice for your baby! Economic Benefits By our calculations, the average baby uses a whopping 6,000 diapers from birth to potty training. By switching to cloth diapers, parents can save over $2,000. This savings increases if diapers are used for more than one child. In addition, many parents find that they can recoup a significant percentage of their initial investment by selling their gently used diapers. While the actual savings vary from child to child, the cost benefits can be tremendous and are a great reason to make the switch to cloth! Environmental Benefits It is estimated that the production of disposables requires 1.1 million tons of wood pulp and 82,000 tons of plastic each year. In addition, disposable diapers go into a landfill where they can take over 500 years to decompose. Cloth diapers, however, are recyclable, making them a much better choice for our planet. While some energy is required to produce and launder your diapers, it is only a fraction of the energy used to produce disposable diapers. |
