Why I recommend Cloth Diapers

When Yuv was born, doctors advised me to keep him strictly on Disposable Diapers and not to use the old-school cloth nappies which our Mummas and grandmas used. He was 24/7 on diapers and I would ich everytime I threw the disposable in the dustbin, as I was adding so much to the already pilled landfills. After he was a year old, I came to know about Cloth Diapering and man! I was so relieved. I immediately kick started with it and never looked behind. Though I was partially cloth diapering him with using disposables at our outing gigs, when Baby J was to born I swore by, not to use disposables at all. And  now we have come a long way!



What is cloth diapering?

          Cloth diapers are an excellent choice for the new age conscientious parents. They are the modern versions of the cloth nappies our moms and grandmas used. They are reusable, leak proof, economical and not harsh on environment. They are free from fragrances, harmful chemicals, plastic/ paper. They have good capacity where one diaper last from 4-5 hours and some can be used overnight too. One diaper can be used until potty training is done. However it takes some time to getting used to it. But once done, you will never want to get back to disposables, or sposies as some call them.




Why I chose Cloth Diapers? 

Cloth diapers minimises diaper rash
       
       The rate of diaper rash has increased as comparable with increased rate of disposable diaper use. The chemicals, ultra-absorbent gels, and ammonia associated with the disposable s are the reason. With the use of cloth diapers, the rashes have gone from minimal to rash free.

Cloth diapers are soft against your baby's skin 

          Your baby's skin is so delicate. What could feel better for your baby than soft cotton or fleece? What would you rather have against your skin every hour of every day for two or more years? Cloth, of course!


Cloth diapers are better for environment

        Disposable diapers hold 50 percent of a newborn's household waste. Worldwide they rank #3 in occupying huge landfills. It takes around 500years for a diaper to decompose, however it is not yet sure and might take longer too.

Cloth diapers are economical

        On an average, around 6000 diapers are used for one child. And each diaper costs from  10 to 15 rupees. It comes to around 90,000 rupees throughout. Wherein a stash of 12 cloth  diapers (one time investment) would only cost 10,000 rupees (depending on the brand/type). You can use the same diapers for your second, third baby too. So you save thousands of rupees when cloth diapering.

Babies that use cloth diapers are potty trained sooner

       Potty training is huge achievement for both parents and babies. Babies who are on disposables are potty trained by the year of 3, on an average. However research shows babies who are cloth diapered are potty trained sooner.


Cloth diapers comes in variety of prints

One of the major reasons for me to use cloth diapers😎. I was bored of seeing the white disposables on my baby bums. The colours and prints these cloth diapers come in are super fashionable and classy. I love the quirkiness in them and they make the bum look oh-so-cute.
No more diaper underpants to cover the boring white disposables. Flaunt your cloth diaper in style. Superbottoms has variety of prints and I am spoilt for choice.



What is Superbottoms?
