CLOTH DIAPERS Advantages and Disadvantages

Pros:

• On the market in cotton, terry cloth, or flannel, a cloth baby diaper will come either as prefolded pieces of cloth liners or as an all-in-one (a diaper and cover that appears just like a disposable diaper).
• Cloth diapers can save you money — a lot!. And if you’re worried regarding the dyes and gels used in disposables, then using a cloth diaper could be a more natural approach of diapering.
• Plus, the very fact that these types are less absorbent than disposables means that a lot of diaper changes (a con), however it's going to mean fewer diaper rashes within the long run (a pro!).
• It's going to be easier to begin potty training because children will notice they’re wet sooner, that are often an incentive to get into underpants.

Cons:

• Cloth diapers are often messy — though some come with disposable liners that make them easier to wash — and they’re more cumbersome to change, unless you use the all-in-ones (which are more expensive).
• You’ll be doing a lot of laundry, too — most likely 2 to 3 additional loads per week — which means that higher water and electricity bills.
• Unless you’re using disposables once you’re out, you’ll most likely ought to carry a number of poopy (and smelly!) diapers back home with you.
• For some babies they'll truly cause a lot of diaper rash (or more severe cases) because they do not absorb moisture the way disposables do.
• You can't use most diaper rash creams and ointments with cloth diapers, either.
