That’s usually quite a pertinent question when it comes to diapering! Do you buy to wash and keep or do you buy to soil and throw?
Apart from the glaring environmental issues, there is a matter of comfort too.
Comfortable babies will usually be happier, learn faster and express themselves better. It’s not just the diaper that decides whether the baby is happy or not but it may definitely be one of the major factors. The age old combination of a well fed and clean baby works wonders and diapers are most definitely the key indicator of how comfortable your baby is likely to be.

Why Not Disposable Diapers
The undeniable truth about disposable diapers is the fact that they are, well, disposable. They may add a level of convenience to the whole potty process of the day but, if you think of the fact that your baby will go through thousands of diapers before they are ready for potty training, the cost implication of using disposable may be more then it’s real worth.
In addition, the whole breathability debate over disposable diapers continues, they don’t let the baby’s skin breath and no matter how diligent a mother is, it is easier to overlook a soiled diaper than a soiled cloth nappy. So in essence a cloth diaper that’s soiled is less likely to become an immediate irritant, the way a disposable diaper would.
Benefits of Cloth Diapers
Traditional nappies on the other hand have been a staple for mothers in India for generations and even now it is probably the convenience factor that drives an Indian mother’s decision of buying disposable diapers. Modernization and a paucity of time along with more mothers out working has made women move on from cloth diapers and choose disposable. It is understandable but maybe not a complete solution.
The first few months are very sensitive for every baby.
They are difficult to comprehend and their needs remain paramount, so how do you keep your baby comfortable and yourself too?
Create a balance!
If disposable diapers give you the freedom you need, keep them for outdoors, trips outside of home and other such engagements. At home, keep your baby relaxed and comfortable with cloth diapers that give them more space, more comfort and a sense of lightness.
