Well, 2013 is off to a great start and we, here at SmartBaby, hope that you and your little one are enjoying the first month of the year, all snuggly and warm.   Since January is also the perfect time to make changes, take steps to improve your life and get started on that plan, we thought it would be perfect to share with you 13 amazing reasons to use cloth diapers in 2013.   If you’re already using cloth diapers, it will be a great reminder as to why they rock and if you don’t, you’ll find out why you need to make the switch NOW.   So, without much ado, here are 13 reasons to cloth diaper in 2013:

1. Cloth Diapers Save Money

That’s right. Simply by being reusable, the initial investment in cloth diapers pays for itself since your little one can literally use them for months, and months to come. No buying additional diaper packs or sizes! Think about the savings!

2. Cloth Diapers are Reusable

Cloth diapers are reusable and not only can you keep using the same diapers for baby until he grows to the next stage, but you can also keep the smaller diapers, should you decide to have another baby.

3. Cloth Diapers are Eco-Friendly

Made of cloth and reusable, cloth diapers don’t end up in landfills across the world. They are gentle for the planet and help you do your part in keeping the earth healthy as well.

4.Cloth Diapers are Gentle for Baby

Something that is good for the Earth has got to be good for your baby. With cloth diapers, you’re keeping harsh chemicals away from your baby’s bottom and giving him the softest, gentlest comfort possible. Not only that, bumGenius, Flip and Econobum cloth diapers have snaps or hook and loop closures as well as encased soft elastic to give baby the greatest comfort.

5. Cloth Diapers are Easy-to-Use

Contrary to popular belief, cloth diapers are super-easy to use. In fact, they’re just as easy as disposable diapers. With the bumGenius all-in-one-, one-size cloth diaper you will find cloth diapering easier than ever.

6. Cloth Diapers are Great Gift Ideas

That’s right. If you have a baby in the family, gift them a set of cloth diapers. They will thank you forever. Not only is it a gift that lasts, it is one that keeps the new baby safe and comfortable.

7. Cloth Diapers are Perfect for Travel

Again, while many may disagree, we’ve shared on the blog earlier about how cloth diapering is great during travel and can be really easy as well.

8. Cloth Diapers Make Potty Training Easier

Babies in disposable diapers never feel wet and don’t learn to identify their bodily cues for toilet training. With cloth diapers, you don’t have that disadvantage. Here is our post on how cloth diapering makes potty training easy.

9. Cloth Diapers Reduce Rashes

Free of harsh chemicals and with regular changes, cloth diapers are an effective way to keep that horrid diaper rash away.

Our cloth diapers give baby the perfect fit because they have a 3x3 snap down design which adjusts the fitting to suit baby’s size perfectly.

12. Cloth Diapers are Machine Washable

Owning cloth diapers is not extra work at all. All you have to do is toss the soiled diapers and inserts into the wet bag and then, empty the wet bag into the washing machine and let it do the work for you. Simple.

13. Cloth Diapers Make Your Baby Happy
