 When my son was born, there was no question what I
would put on his bottom 24/7. Disposable diapers. What else was there? Weren't
those "cloth diapers" at the store supposed to be used as burp cloths?
Wait...you mean people still use those as DIAPERS? Why in the world would they
do that?
Yes, people still use those, but not me. Those
rectangle pieces of cotton cloth (prefolds) and even diaper pins are still used, but people who
are afraid of that need to realize that there are MANY more choices available to
them, and they DON'T have to use disposable diapers! To make it a little easier
on you, I will tell you what I've discovered about cloth diapering and the
choices available, in hopes that you will find something that sounds appealing
enough to make the switch.
So
what ARE your options? To the left are some links to diapering types and definitions,
and some articles that might help you. While some die-hard naturalists would
never use anything else but prefolds and wool
diaper covers,
you might be more interested in the cloth diapers which are more like
disposables, such as
all-in-ones
or pocket diapers.
Or perhaps you are kind of in the middle and prefer fitted diapers with a
separate cover. No matter where you fit in, there is definitely a diaper out
there that your baby will fit in that you will be happy with, too!
