When I brought my first baby home, I joined a mommy group
and someone mentioned these diapers. Bum Genius One Size diapers. http://www.cottonbabies.com/ They
are super absorbent, have a plastic layer to stop leaks, and resize from birth
to potty training! Plus if you have additional children you can keep using
them.
Real costs: New 4.0 versions will cost $18 per diaper. You
can get them on sale "buy five get one free" or you can buy
"seconds" which have a cosmetic flaw and have been returned but are
less expensive. There are also cheaper repairables for those who are
needle-inclined. So for a set of 12 you have an investment of $216 or less. You
can buy more and will have less stress over when to wash but they should be
washed every other day.
So $216 for diapers plus $122 for cleaning is about $338 for
using one size cloth diapers and washing them yourself. http://www.diaperdecisions.com/pages/cost_of_cloth_diapers.php
cites the cost of disposables full time as $2577. $2000 in two years for basically
doing your own laundry and not piling up the landfill. No brainer.
Cloth Rocks - so feed your pig!
