Question

Cloth diapers!?!

Please give your opinions on cloth diapers vs disposable diapers, your experience with cloth diapers and your pro's and con's of using cloth diapers 😊

Answer

Pros: less money you are spending on diapers because reusable ones both grow with the baby and can be clean. Which means more money for other things baby might need. They are also adorable, and better for the environment. 
Cons: sometimes they don’t fit newborns as well. When you are out and about place you will need to make sure you have something like a bag or something to put a dirty diaper in. 
My opinion: we use both. Reusable ones at home to help save with money but if we are going to the zoo or shopping somewhere then we do have some throw away diapers so we don’t have to worry about the diaper bag smelling badly.

Answer

Pros: less expensive in the long one (can use them for multiple babies), no chemicals, better for the environment, they grow with your baby, suuuper absorbent since you can always add more liners. 
Con: bigger cost up-front
Information: They make them so easy to use, all-in-ones function just like a disposable. You will need a wet bag to hold dirty diapers when out and about...but you’d also need a trash can for disposables. They do make cloth diapers for babies as small as 5 pound babies. When the baby starts solids, it will get a bit more messy...but they make liners available to peel off with the poo or there is a water sprayer available.

Answer

All pros and no cons for me over here. Would never consider full time disposables.

Answer

Cloth diapers are a great thought but for thats all it is. I am a busy fulltime working mom and I have no time to wash doody diapers! I use disposable only and am happy with this choice

Answer

If you have specific questions about cloth, go through the old posts in the Cloth Diaper group on here.   A lot of basic questions have been answered multiple times, from different perspectives.

Answer

Biggest and only con I have is how expensive they are...because you get addicted to buying more all the time though you don’t actually need more.
I’m sure I could diaper 4 babies simultaneously 😶 (even though my stash is still less then 1k and disposables can go between 2-3k for 1 baby)

Answer

I’m a big fan. We are foster/adoptive parents and have used them with twin infants as well as a big 3 year old— same diapers (sterilized of course). It saved so much money because we bought used diapers for about $150 and that was plenty for both babies and then more than enough for the 3 year old. Once you get in a rhythm with the washing system, it’s really easy.

Answer

Only con I can think of is they are hard to use when traveling or if you have to leave your home for a few days at a time. Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about them. They were a game changer for us. I used disposables with my first. I would never go back to disposables.
