Why Cloth Diapers Are Better Than Disposable Diapers
The average child spends the first 2 years of their lives in diapers. Which is why its so important, that you choose the best diapers for your infant. Yes, disposable diapers are probably the best solution for parents because they are simply very easy to use and even easier to get rid of. But cloth diapers on the other hand are probably a better alternative for your child.
The most important thing in any parent’s life is to protect their child from harm. Little do they know that disposable are made with chemicals to retain moisture. Sodium polyacrylate for example, found in disposable diapers, have also been linked to toxic shock syndrome. Other chemicals found in disposable have been linked to liver disease, and immune system deficiency.
Your baby will also find cloth be much more comfortable. Cloth are made with 100% cotton. If your infant could talk they’d tell you that cotton feels much better than what ever synthetic product disposables are made of. As a parent I’m sure you’ve discovered that your child’s rear can be very sensitive. Not only are disposable diapers less comfortable but they also lock the moisture in, making rashes far more likely to appear.
Switching to disposable will also put a lot of money back in your bank account. Disposable diapers can only be used once. While cloth can be washed a reused time and time again. Remember, your child is going to be in them for about 2 years. With multiple diaper changings each day the cost of disposables can add up fast.
Cloth diapers are better for your child and are even better for your wallet.
