I chose cloth first and foremost because of the problem I had with filling the landfills with my baby's disposable diapers. I also knew that I'd stay at home with my child and our monthly budget would be cut so choosing cloth would help us save money. I didn't realize when I registered for cloth diapers that it would be so much healthier for my child. All it took was using one disposable one time and seeing "gooey crystals" on my daughter's bum to know that disposables are not good for babies--

I love cloth diapers :) I am getting the additional membership so I can become an accredited circle leader.

I choose cloth because it brings fun into the parts of parenting that most people would consider "a drag." Cloth diapers are functional, practical, look good, and feel good. There is also a sense a camaraderie, around cloth, that I really enjoy. I like knowing that not only am I doing something good for my baby and family, but also something good for my community and the earth.

health benefits for my baby, cost, environmental benefits. As a pediatric and neonatal nurse, I have seen the damage cloth diapers can do to the bottoms of infants. I am currently working on my masters in nursing education with a goal to educate families on alternative methods that are safe to care for their child, such as cloth diapering.

At the age of 19, I learned about cloth diapers from working at a birthing center. It was then that I learned about all of the nasty chemicals in disposables and how badly they pollute our planet. I knew then and there that when I had my own children they would be cloth diapered. So when I got pregnant with my first son I bought my first stash. I fell in love with it! It feels so good to give my babies something soft and comfy to wear on their bum. Now I can't imagine my life any other way. Cloth diapering has become a huge part of my life and I will continue to participate in the cloth diapering community even after my youngest is out of diapers.

Because it is better for baby and my environment. The cost effectiveness was a factor also for us.

Cloth was an easy and natural choice for our lifestyle and our outlook. We're active supporters of mitigating environmental impacts as well as a family that truly basks in the beauty and bounty of our natural world, and so we want to align our choices to support it's long term bounty to our children and children's children. Plus, it was easy, and affordable for our budget so it was a perfect fit. Not to mention it was what my mom used for her three babies and even passed along some of our old diapers to start my supply, which was more of a gesture than a practicality, but we loved it none the less. Once we discovered wool for covers we couldn't go back to any other type. It's by far the best at holding in the moisture, and mitigating rash from its breath-ability.

Why wouldn't I choose cloth? It's better for the environment, better for my baby, and better for my budget. With just a small learning curve it's as easy to use as disposables and I can feel good about my decision with every diaper change. Oh, and the adorable diapers out there to decorate my baby's bum with certainly don't hurt.

Before we had our daughter, we decided to use cloth because of the impact on the environment. After having our daughter, we saw that it was so much better for her!!! We love cloth so much that I opened up a store!

I chose cloth first because of my family's dedication to environmental responsibility. Financial, health, and aesthetic benefits served to confirm that we were making a great choice.
