Today’s Worth It Wednesday is all about Cloth Diapers!

I’m a mom who falls in the middle when it comes to how I diaper my babes. I’ve used disposable and cloth so I feel pretty competent when it comes to this topic.

Cloth Diaper Pros:

  • More cost effective over time
  • Environmentally Safer
  • Great for babies with skin sensitivities
  • They don’t get saggy
  • Non-toxic: no dioxins, chlorine, or carcinogenic chemical
  • Can be used with baby #1 through baby #5 if cared for properly
  • Same size from birth to age 3
  • Less leaks and blow outs
  • Super Cute

Cloth Diaper Cons:

  • Expensive upfront
  • You can’t wrap up the poo and throw it away
  • Can build up ammonia, which then…
  • Require stripping
  • Must be handled with care {no drying, harsh detergents, etc.}

Just like with anything, there are pros and cons and I know many people who have successfully cloth diapered, but for ME, I stopped cloth diapering.

Is it worth it? I think so in the long term. Sure it requires a little more patience and work than with disposable, but once you get use to it, it’s pretty seamless!
