So for Earth Day, I thought I'd take a minute to talk to you about saving the Earth, one diaper at a time. If you are pregnant, then diapers are something you've probably given at least a slight amount of to. They will become a large part of your life after you give birth, as babies tend to use about 8-12 diapers a day.
So in the day of reduce, reuse and recycle, cloth diapers are back as the eco-friendly way to diaper your baby. I'm not here to argue that cloth diapers are great for the environment, though they are much better than their disposable counterparts. I think it's important to look at cloth diapers form the viewpoint of saving money.
That's right, using cloth diapers is a great way to save you money. When you consider that you can purchase every diaper you would ever need (and then some) for $200-300, you've only spent 10 weeks worth of disposable diaper money. The real issue for most people is the initial outlay of money for cloth diapers.
So if you haven't taken a look at cloth diapers recently, or you think that they still involve really scary looking diaper pins - think again and have a look at today's new eco-friendly, cost saving diapers that make babies and parents happy. (Did I mention how cute some of the new cloth diapers are? I'm seriously loving these cute prints on the All-in-One cloth diapers I bought in bulk at a discount store!)
