Cloth and Disposable
Baby Diapers are available

Disposable or cloth baby diapers? A decision every new parent has to make. There are pros and cons for each type.

Deciding on the type depends on personal preference, concern for the environment, convenience and expense. Some say that disposbles cost about $200-300 more a year for one child. But this cost can be reduced by using store brands, looking for sales and using coupons.

Disposable diaper users say that the extra water used to wash cloth diapers is just as harmful for the environment as the production of disposables.

The choice should be what is best for the baby. Review the advantages and disadvantages and then decide.

Some parents use cloth diapers at home and disposables when away from home. Consider that day care centers usually insist on disposables.

Disposables are generally less leaky and provide a better fit. The major brands are Pampers, Huggies and Luvs. The quality of store brands has improved and can save you about 10% over the major brands.
