Newbies thinking about CDing? Read this!

I'm fairly new to CDing, and just came upon this "article."  It may have been posted here before, but is full of interesting info.  We chose to CD because of the waste and chemicals associated with sposies.  This just proves our point!

Thought someone else might find it interesting too

So for some reason my links aren't working today.  You'll have to copy paste. Sorry

Welcome! That website is full of info too.  I am always going back to it when I have questions.

Thanks for sharing! I had a "discussion" with an acquaintance last week after I posted a benefits of CDing video on FB. She said that it was things like that video that make people feel guilty for using sposies. I said that wasn't my intention. She  said, "I have thoroughly researched cloth diapers versus disposables and I saw no benefit for my family to switch. Cloth isn't any better for my baby than Pampers." I literally LOLed. Use sposies, I don't hate you for it. BUT, don't tell me there are no greater benefits to using cloth because that just doesn't make sense. (I just didn't reply to her comment because I knew there would be no point with someone like her.)

Do you mind if I asked for the link to your video? I would love to see it, hopefully it will make MIL and her family better understand why I do it. Although they don't openly argue/show their disapproval at my CDing, I always get a weird look when changing G.

Sure, it was this video. It doesn't go in to tons of detail, but I liked it because it was concise and she speaks clearly. (She has a lot of other good videos, too.)

What an eye opener! I mean, I knew cloth was better for the environment, as far as landfills and such, but I never knew the shear reality of it! And the chemicals in disposables, yikes. Thanks for sharing this!

If only this video were in spanish  lol

It's very helpful and very informative. It's interesting to know all of the harsh chemicals that are in sposies that companies like to deny. They go on and on about their product testing and what not, but no matter how hard they try there's no hiding the truth.

G unfortunately went through the chemical burns and open sores. When I wrote to them about it in hopes of them changing their product for those that continue to use sposies, they pretty much blew me off while glorifying their product. It's sad that they refuse to put children's safety first, even though they're "family companies".
