Diapers: Cloth versus Disposable

 The average baby uses 8-10 diapers a day.  Each year, more than 18 billion diapers went into landfills in America. Cloth diapers are less expensive and reduce the amount of landfill waste. Cloth diapers have been making a comeback.  No more safety pins and plastic pants. Today’s diapers are easier to fit, have Velcro or snap closures, and disposable insets.  Many are made from eco-friendly fabrics like organic cotton.
