I have a newfound fascination with BumGenius cloth diapers! Now, before you say "OMG, what is that woman thinking?", cloth diapers have come a loooong way! There are no pins, they are easily washable, they are super cute, and BumGenius makes them easily adjustable so you only have to buy one size (fits newborn to 35 lbs)! They are also easy to put on (see the video below and imagine Jeremy diapering this wiggling baby - makes me smile!)What are the benfits of cloth diapering? (Or, in other words, why is it worth washing a diaper instead of pitching it?)
- Babies in cloth diapers have less, if any, diaper rash and allergic reactions
- Babies in cloth diapers aren't exposed to the chemicals and petrolum byproducts present in the disposables.
- Babies using cloth diapers potty train on avg. 6 months sooner.
- Coth diapers save the avg. family $1000 or more.
- Cloth diapering elmimates literally tons of waste. Those using disposables throw away 7000-9000 diapers, plus a LOT of fecal matter - the diapers take an estimated 500 years to break down in landfills (quite a legacy to leave for future generations). Plus one must consider the pollution produced in the manfacturing and trasport of those thousands of diapers.
