TOH What are your pros and cons to cloth diapering? I'm thinking about trying it out, but I haven't convinced myself yet. Any insight is helpful.

Pros: it's way easier than it seems, so much better for the environment, cheaper than sposies (especially if you plan to have more than one child), and baby has a super cute, chemical free bottom!

The only con I can think of is that there is a little trial and error involved in what kind of diaper will fit your kid, and sometimes working out a wash routine. But it's way, way worth it.

My biggest pro is the cost savings my second would be the health aspect less diaper rash and no chemicals. Plus it's way better for the environment.

The only con is the laundry, but its no biggie and I hate doing laundry. I have 22 BG 4.0s and can do laundry every other day. I try to do it everyday, but I COULD do it every other.

Major pro is the smell. I hated the was sposies smelled. My diaper pail smells like caramel since I EBF.

DH even likes cloth better and we have had no complaints from grandparents when they use them.

I use a diaper service $80 a month but someone bought me a year for a baby shower gift I throw all my dirty diapers in the pail and every Tuesday night I leave my dirty diapers on the porch and they drop me off new fresh diapers.

Pros:

 . - my baby hasn't bad a diaper rash (they're less likely to get diaper rash)

   - it'll be easier to potty train her because the cloths feels like undies and no one likes pooin' in their u undies

 - its easier to tell when they go #1 or#2 in cloth diapers

 - better for the environment

Cons

 - they're hard to travel with I usually bring a doggie bag that masks odor to put my used cloth difapers in and carry a couple of disposables too

Other than that it's all I can think of hope this helps

 

P.s.

I love cloth diapers
