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
