~ CLOTH DIAPERS
Well we’re ready to jump into the adventure of cloth nappies/diapers.
I knew as soon as I found out I was pregnant that this was something I wanted to do.
For several reasons:
1. Sustainability. A standard disposable takes 500 YEARS to decompose.
2. Toxins: Many store bought disposables are ridden with hidden toxins and harsh chemicals that will sit for hours on bubs bum.
3. Cost: in the 1 month of having bubs we have spent well over $100 on disposable diapers. So far I have spent $600 on cloth diapers (a mix of brand new and second hand.) That cost is capped. Disposables are endless.
At first it can seem really overwhelming finding a process that works for you. And it’s not really a one size fits all system. I am still figuring out the best way for us, but it’s an exciting journey to be on!
Have you made the switch? What tips can you offer us newbies?
