Cloth diaper facts

some of us would like to know,why use cloth diaper? why is it better than dispo diapers?

well, for instance it is from cloth, so most of us already know how to use it right? we just wash our cloth when its stained right? so, cloth diaper is just the same concept as our clothing but the difference IS its for our baby's bum :). so why use cloth diaper, the reasons are elaborated below:

1. It is safe/healthy - dispo diapers (DD) have been proven to contain chemicals, paper, plastic, and have been reported to cause allergic reactions among other serious health problems.

2. comfortable - CD (cloth diaper) uses breathable fabrics, and also colorful fabrics that is nice to hold and see by mommies and also babies.

3. money worthy - ok, i admit, that 1 CD, the cheapest, would cost around RM35 to RM 50(this is for the cheapest rate).but, in the long run, if you guys could calculate it, it would be more effective and cost you less than what you have to pay for monthly use of DD. for example, if you use a regular DD which costs around RM 38 with 80 pieces of DD,if your child uses around 6 pieces of DD yeah,you guess it. its around Rm 2.90 per day. if you count for per month, its RM 87. this is only for a month. if we count it for a year, its RM1,044. in the long run you have already wasted a lot, coz you're throwing away your money. but, if you use CD, you're going to save. coz, you'll not throw away the CD. you'll reuse it over and over again (until its torn, :)) AND.....you'll even save more, as you wouldn't need to buy any rash/diaper cream for your baby's bum, as using CD would normally not give any effect to your baby's bum i.e its breathable, no chemical present, etc.

4. save environment - you save the environment from not throwing a lot of wastes. DD is hard to dispose of, coz its not biodegradable (is my spelling right?). therefore, you'll even save the earth.studies have shown that we throw away around millions of dispo diapers.

5. easy to use - using CD is the same concept as DD. but, you'll be saving the environment and money by using CD. there are so many types of CD being sold out there (will eloborate further, in my next post) some of it are AIO's AI2 , etc. The CD used will need to be dispose of the poo poo and pee of child, just by throwing away the poo in the toliet bowl and rinsing off the insert with water.its easy to use in any lifestyle, coz, there are CDs that has the exact same features as DD but, using cloth.

6. ease of mind - mothers(and fathers) would feel much more happier, as they would not be 'investing' more into buying DD's for their children and would know that their child is having the best for their health(no chemicals involve)

7.potty training easier- potty training for your children would be much more easier, as CD will need to be changed more frequently as compared to DD's. this makes your child feel uncomfortable when they feel the damped cloth at their bum's and would automatically ask you to change it!! so, this makes it easier for you to train you lil ones early.

so, haven't i made it clear for you mommies, daddies(is there a word for this, :)) and going to be mum and dads that CD's are next best thing that you could provide for your child. don't think about the cost. i'm sure all of us can manage our own money, just think about the benefits that we could achieve in the long run and giving the best to our child is what it counts.

GOOD LUCK!!!!
