Cloth diapers are soft against your baby’s skin. Cloth diapers are also free of the many chemicals contained in disposable diapers. Our common sense tells us that cloth diapers are the ultimate in recycling because they are used again and again, not entering a landfill until they are nothing but rags.
- There are so many better options for cloth diapering than when our mothers and grandmothers were doing it
- There are a LOT of chemicals in traditional diapers (you think that magic gel stuff that absorbs 100 times its weight in urine is natural?)
- The new cloth diapers are super cute!
- So many brands of diapers that can fit baby from birth to potty training with just one diaper, so it saves space too
- They hold their value, if you take good care of them, you can sell them to someone else when your children are out of diapers
From a financial perspective, I’ve read that each child costs about $2,000 to $3,000 to diaper and can contribute about 600,000 diapers to the landfills. You can get a couple dozen really high quality (even organic) cloth diapers for under $500 and they can last through several children if you take care of them. This is exactly one of the main reasons we have cloth diapers. I have used many of them for all three kids. If your money is really tight, it is very possible to completely cloth diaper from birth to potty training for around $100 (some people spend that a month for disposables!)
With all that being said, let me tell you about the brand bambino mio. Out of all the cloth diapers I have tried, this is my first time using bambino mio and I couldn’t be happier with this brand. Again, I can’t express how cute cloth diapers are now. For someone that is scared of bees, this is the cutest bee diaper I have ever seen.
A few features that caught my eye ::
- The size of the nappy can be changed using the adjustable poppers and velcro style fastenings to suit the shape of your little one
- Concealed super absorbent core and stay-dry inner layer keep moisture away from your baby’s delicate skin, leaving it cool and dry
- Stretchy water resistant outer fabric for even the most active babies
- Unique pull out tab system makes removing the core from inside the diaper as simple as possible – this improves washing performance and speeds up drying time
With all the amazing cloth diapers available, bambino mio is right up there in quality. Definitely check out their site for more information and other products they have.
Out of all the facts and things you learn today, would you consider cloth diapering with bambino mio if you don’t already?

November 11, 2016 at 8:35 pmI love this diaper cover! If I hadn’t already hoarded so many cloth diapers for Quinn, I’d get more! The endless patterns are addicting. What iblove most about cloth diapering is the positive impact on the environment, I hate to think about all those disposables in the landfill that will never decompose 🙁

November 5, 2016 at 2:24 pmI had six children with the first in 1984. I cloth diapered her. I hated it, but Pampers were terrible back then and let everything run out. Once they got better, my second baby on got disposables. Oh, they were so nice. No more washing stinky diapers! Thank God for disposables!
