I would urge new parents to try cloth diapering!

๐Ÿค”

For our first, I'm planning

Ahh, there it is.

We did both our kids on the same set of cloth diapers. We saved a ton of money and avoided putting all those diapers in the landfill. Then when we were done having kids in diapers we passed them on to someone else who could use them.

With all the disgusting things involved with children, washing diapers is low enough on the list.

Like I said, I know nothing about diapering period, so I'm learning a new skill regardless. May as well be one that's good for my wallet and the planet. Will there be days when we resort to disposables? Probably. But even some cloth diapering is better than none.

Until the baby starts eating solid food, it's a good idea to use cotton nappies, as I did with my kid

Well it's certainly an option, admittedly much better for the environment. But there are down sides too.

I've heard horror stories from all sides of diapering babies, mostly from parents using disposables. I think it's a challenge no matter what.
