When my children were babies ( more years ago than I care to remember), we only had one option for diapers and that was clothe. Then came along the fantastic, easy to use, easy to change, disposable diaper. What a great invention!
Trying to save money today is no easy feat. With that in mind cloth diapers have come full circle and have gained immense popularity once again.
Cloth diapering is not as complicated as it used to be with safety pins, Chinese folds, etc. Today it is simple!
Here are some simple facts to consider:
1) The cost of cloth diapers vs disposable diapers…you save approximately $1000 depending on the which diapers you choose.
2) Cut down on nasty diaper rash with cloth diapers. Cloth diapers are “breathable” and therefore diaper rash is seldom a problem.
3) Because cloth diapers don’t mask wetness it has been proven easier to potty train your toddler.
4) Cloth diapers are made from natural fibers and therefore are easier on sensitive skin as opposed to chemically treated disposable diapers.

A good option for traveling are the ecologically friendly disposable diapers. Nature Babycare or Seventh Generation for example. I prefer Nature Babycare personally.
