I was diapered in cloth as was my mother and grandmother; now I cloth diaper my child. The comfort and health benefits for the baby are my main reasons for choosing cloth diapers. I want to share this knowledge with other families and provide convenience also.

It's more comfortable for my babies and it's cuter on their bums. It brings me together with my community and it doesn't smell terrible and leave behind waste and chemicals like disposable diapers do.

I chose cloth diapers to do my part in reducing unnecessary waste.

I started cloth diapering 3 years ago when my oldest was two-weeks-old. I wanted to help the environment and choose a chemical free alternative to disposable diapers. We are now cloth diapering our second baby.

When we found out that we were expecting a baby, the first step was trying to cut corners and curb spending in any way we could, both before and after the baby arrived. One of the things we considered was cloth diapers. My husband thought it would be a good way to save money and I agreed. Of course, I also thought that it was a great way to avoid stuffing landfills with poop! I am passionate about trying to reduce waste and love mother earth. Then after reading about the additional benefits of the natural fibers versus the chemical filled disposables on baby's skin, cloth diapers seemed like a no-brainer.

Cloth alternatives have provided us with a much more economical solution to the disposable lifestyle. Our first children were twins and the amount of trash bags we went through on top of all the diapers we had to pay for was astounding. We now not only use cloth alternatives but offer the same option to our local area.

We cloth diapered 8 children over the course of 27 years. Originally, it was a desire to have natural fibers next to baby's skin and a cost saving measure. As our family grew, the reasons evolved. A few of the children had sensitive skin/ eczema, and a few have asthma. The discovery of WAHM diapers brought the cuteness factor. In the last several years we have made strides towards becoming chemical free in our home.

I am a long time member of the Holistic Moms Network and Attachment Parenting International so using disposable diapers that were full of chemicals and wrecked havoc on our environment just did not seem to make any sense to me.

I have always been passionate about the environment by doing what I can to limit my carbon footprint. When I became pregnant I just couldn't imagine throwing out all those diapers everyday! It didn't seam right, so I started to look at my options. I had a lot of people tell me that I was crazy for considering cloth but I knew that I could do it and that it was the best option for me and my family. We have been using our cloth diapers for over a year now and we couldn't be happier with our choice. In fact I love using cloth so much that I run free workshops in Toronto for expecting parents to help spread the word!

I originally chose cloth because it was by far the cutest diapering option. After 2 1/2 years of using cloth, I now love that I save money and help the environment by not contributing disposable diapers in landfills! I love that my babies have soft cotton on their skin instead of paper. I'm happy that in using cloth I keep chemicals away from their skin and I love not having to hear and feel those awful paper diapers. I'm PROUD to use cloth diapers and I love showing them off to everyone. I have noticed such a big growth in the use of cloth diapers over the past few years and am happy to contribute to it! My husband was originally very hesitant to the idea and because of it we did not cloth diaper my first son. After I decided to make the switch, he really resisted it a lot. But he has come around and actually shows them off himself now! It's become just a part of what we do now and we don't see it as extra work. I truly enjoy cloth diapering and am so happy I made the switch!
