Shifting to Cotton Cloth Diapers

You may be so used to using convenient diapers available in your neighborhood store that the thought of using cotton cloth diapers may never have occurred to you. Two major issues that favor the use of cloth diapers need considering: one – saving money, two – protecting the environment. 

Initially, buying cotton cloth diapers may sound costly, but over a period of time they are cost effective. You can wash and re-use them. And if you are planning another baby, the same old diapers will come in handy.

When it comes to protecting the environment, it is no one’s baby. We would rather conveniently shift the entire responsibility of keeping the environment clean on the government. Belonging to the use-and-throw generation, we have in no small measure contributed to turning the world into one large dumping ground. Billions of disposable diapers are being discarded every year without any concern. They do fill up our landfills, but at the cost of contaminating land and water, not to speak of billions of health-impacting bacteria that they give rise to.

Did you know that disposable diapers contain chemicals? Sodium Polyacrylate is used to break the liquid into gel. It can lead to toxic shock syndrome and give rise to allergic reactions. Dioxin, a by-product of the bleaching paper used in disposable diapers, is highly toxic and can lead to cancer.

Shifting to cotton cloth diapers is a viable option, which is safe for your children and the environment that they will grow into.
