Cloth diaper VS disposable diapers - which is better

Let us discuss the main considerations when deciding to use disposable diapers or cloth diapers.

 

Cost of use

 

A disposable diaper costs around the range of $0.20 to $0.40 depending of the size, applicable for 1 time use. Even if the baby did not wee wee or poo poo parent would still have to change them once in a while to keep their babies dry and comfortable. There is no way to re-use the diaper once it is taken off as it uses a stick on tape like material fastener. A newborn uses approximately 10 to 12 diapers daily, and the diapers get more expensive as your baby grows in size and require bigger diapers, the money spent on disposable diapers is very high.

 

Cloth diapers, on the other hand cost much more initially during purchase but since they are washable and re-usable, is more cost effective in the long run. There are a few types of cloth diapers, namely pre-fold diapers, AIO diapers, pocket diapers and fitted diapers. The popular types of cloth diaper are fitted diapers and pocket diapers. You will need about 30 cloth diapers during your initial buy, which makes up 3 day's supply of diapers for you to use, rotate and wash. Absorbency of the cloth diaper can be increased with adding additional inserts which can be purchased cheaply from NTUC.

 

Environment friendly

 

Disposable diapers are non bio-degradable and this means that disposal of it is by means of landfill. Thousands of used diapers being bagged up and disposed every day, transported to a garbage dump and buried. As these diapers contain chemicals with absorb the baby’s urine, we have no idea how this will affect the environment in the long run.

 

Cloth diapers, on the other hand, are mainly made up of cotton. And because they are re-used over and over, the carbon footprint left on the environment is considerably smaller. During washing of the cloth diaper, waste material flows through the water pipes and is treated by Sembcorp and other waste treatment plants.

 

Comfort

 

To keep the cost of the diaper as affordable as possible, manufacturers sacrifice on the comfort. Disposable diapers usually don’t allow much breathing and the baby will feel very uncomfortable. Mothers will know, because it is the same as wearing menstrual pads during that time of the month. It is very uncomfortable. Worse, some disposable diapers might cause skin irritations and allergies to your baby, so do check in on your baby often if you are using a new brand of disposable diapers.

 

Cloth diapers, on the other hand, are made of thick cotton material where the surface touches the baby’s skin. It allows more comfort for the baby just like any of the clothes will.

Watch out for Skin allergies with baby laundry

So you have a baby at home. You have more clothes to wash now, but have you considered the basic differences between your baby's laundering needs and yours? If you regularly use perfumed detergents, bleach, or fabric softener, your laundering habits may need some reform.

 

Your laundry piles are going to skyrocket because your baby will constantly vomit out stuff you cannot imagine of. This is only one new concern, however, since your baby's skin is much more sensitive to chemicals than you and your spouses’ grown up skin. Laundering the baby's clothing in detergents that are free of perfumes and dyes is one quick way to help ensure that your baby does not get unnecessary discomfort from irritating chemicals. There are detergents formulated specifically for babies, but for the most part as long as you stay away from perfume and dye heavy products, your baby should be just fine. There are of course rare cases in which the baby has specific allergies, in which case it is probably best to find one brand that works for your baby's skin and stick with it. Unfortunately for your baby, this may mean a short trial and error process. As with food allergies, just keep a keen eye out and make sure you seek immediate medical treatment when you are concerned about anything.

 

Another thing that is important when laundering baby clothing is to make sure that you launder any cloth diapers separately. If you are using cloth diapers, you may think of the obvious reason: these items of clothing are obviously much more soiled than the average baby clothing item. It is best to launder these items twice: once in bleach with a double rinse, and then a second time with just vinegar during the last rinse cycle. This is important because not only is the baby using these items a lot more frequently (so they get a lot more wear), but also they are the closest to the baby's very sensitive skin. So making sure that cloth diapers are as allergen free as possible is a key factor in keeping your baby comfortable and happy.

 

The last item on our laundry agenda will keep your laundry service or electric company well fed, and you plenty busy. As your baby quickly outgrows each new item of clothing, and a new one needs to be purchased to replace it, the new items should all be washed before being put on the baby. That includes outerwear and bath accessories, but is especially important for things that you buy a lot of, like undershirts, socks, and onesies. The first couple of months are particularly crucial in determining what kind of laundering ritual is best for your new addition. This is also a time in which you will be getting used to a lot of specifics about your new baby. Make sure no matter how you launder your baby's clothes, you keep a good eye out for possible allergic reactions and rashes. A comfortable baby is a much happier baby.

5 Baby Shower Gifts A Mum will Love

As you grow older, you are bound to know someone who is having a baby, if you aren’t having one yourself. Pregnant women equal shopping time. Here are 5 gifts that any mother will most certainly be appreciative of. The baby shower gift ideas are great for those who are shopping or for mom’s to put on their gift registry.

 

1. Diapers, diapers and more diapers. That is quite a bland gift but a very much needed gift. I don’t any mom who will complain about having too many diapers with a newborn at home. To make diapers snazzy you have to dress it up a bit. You can find diaper cakes in lots of gift sites. Some come with as many as 150 diapers, plus booties, bibs and tons of other essentials for baby, but all in the shape of an all so cute cake. However, sometimes the diaper is hard to buy because you might not know the size of the newborn, or how big the baby will grow. Buying smaller sizes might not fit, and getting bigger sizes means the diapers will take up space before the baby is big enough to use them. In such cases, why not get them cloth diapers that come in free-size? In my online shop, you can get cloth diapers which the baby can wear from newborn stage to 3 years old when they are doing potty training.

 

2. Layettes, blankets, socks and burp cloths. Chances are they are going to get tons of these. However, these gifts tend to come in newborn or 3 months sizes which after a few weeks probably won’t serve its purpose anymore. Making this a great gift is if you buy them in larger sizes. After a few months, mom still has brand new gifts for the baby to enjoy.

 

3. Pamper products for Mom. The last few weeks of pregnancy are very uncomfortable and can be hard on Mom. Let Mom have the star treatment as well. Once the baby is born, Mom’s 15 minutes of fame are over.

 

4. Savings Bonds. A savings bond is a great way to help invest in the child’s future. While everyone is thinking of now you are thinking ahead. It may also help jumpstart parents to jumpstart on baby’s future if they haven’t already.

 

5. Gift Certificates. You can never go wrong with a gift certificate. Mom and Dad get to choose what they want and you gave them that satisfaction. The obvious choice for a gift certificate would where the registry is set up. If they do not have a registry set up, good choices could include their favorite supermarket (formula, diapers) or baby store. Another gift certificate idea could be a check card gift certificate. It works like a credit card and can be used anywhere. BabyMummie online store offers gift certificates for purchase.
