I am not a mom and I may never be, but don't tell me that using cloth diapers is more than you can handle; I won't believe you. My friends' share in parenting two kids, they work, they both change cloth diapers. You take the outer liner, which comes in many fun and exciting patterns, insert a cloth liner, and put on baby. In an undetermined amount of time the diaper is removed, the cloth liner is placed into a bin that closes, the outer shell relined, and the child is returned to civilization. When the bin is full, dump into wash machine, put in detergent, push start, wait for the end of the cycle, put into dryer, push start, fold and begin again.
Cloth diapers are not new; your grandma, or grandpa, maybe with a one or two greats added, washed certain matter belonging to certain people, related to you, with his or her bare hands! Disposable diapers are the third most common item in American landfills and loiter for 500 years. When it comes to your dollar and the green concern, cloth is much cheaper than organic, disposable, biodegradable diapers and the not so biodegradable diapers. Yes, it does use water and electricity to wash diapers, but read more on the on The Panelist, and remember, water and energy are renewable, disposable diapers are a dead end.
Trivia: Over the first year of life, how many diapers will a baby wear? 3,796
