I've always considered myself quite the hippy when it comes to food and hygiene products. So when I found out I was pregnant, I began dreaming of all the environmental factors that the little ones produce. Thinking about the amount of waste that my baby was going to create with disposable diapers made me quite queasy. I did additional research on the type of materials used in disposables, the cost over the child's lifetime, and health factors.
The decision was simple, my baby is going to be a Cotton Bottom Hippy. Cloth diapering has so many benefits and pretty much only ONE inconvenience which is having to wash the diapers. But with convienent diaper sprayers that connect to your toilet, cleaning is a breeze.
1. Eliminating diapers from the environment. Reducing toxins from the plastic production. Reducing strain on earth's resources by having reusable diapers.
2. Eliminating toxins from my child's body. No plastic touching her sensative parts.
3. Potty training will come a lot faster!
4. They're freaking adorable.
I've done a lot of research on different types of cloth diapers. They have everything from the old fashion type, pre folded, and all-in-ones. I loved the idea of all-in-one's being as close to a disposable as possible. Then I had to research all the brands.
There was an overwhelming response on the brand Gro Baby. I read that they were soft, organic, and even had liners so you can reuse the shell with multiple changes. I was sold! The best yet is that I can use their diapers from birth to toddler, and even have them for my next child. Another factor when choosing a product is that the manufacturer uses sustainable resources. The Natural Baby Company, the manufacturer, definitely abides to this practice.
I have filled up my registry and can't wait to put these adorable cloth diapers on my baby girl!
