Diaper That I Choose

You might already know there are 2 types of diaper, the one is disposable diaper and the other is cloth diaper. You must take a deeply consideration before decided which one to choose for your baby. Most important thing to consider is the comfort that the diaper gives to the baby. Because the baby’s skin is sensitive, she/he can easily get irritations, the diaper should be able to keep the baby skin dry and free from rash.

Those 2 types of diaper has advantages and disadvantages (Pros and Cons), I searched over the net for this. And here are the facts that I found about the 2 types diapers;

• Disposable diaper may contain chemical such as dioxin (the most toxic of all cancer linked agents), TBT or Tributyl-tin (a toxic pollutant that can cause hormonal problem in both animal and humans), sodium polyacrylate or you can say “the Gel” (it can gives your baby diaper rash).
• Disposable diaper is easy to use, it can help parent for changing diaper in a short of time.
• Disposable diaper is easy to find even in little store on a village
• Disposable diaper is cost you more budget than cloth diaper.
  “The cost using disposable diaper from birth to potty training is between $2500-3000 but if you using cloth diaper for your baby the cost would vary between $150-1200”
  
• Disposable diaper is not environmental friendly ;
  “Disposable diaper generate sixty times more solid waste and use twenty times more raw materials, like crude oil and wood pulp, it represent 4% of solid waste, in a house with a child in diapers, disposable make up 50% of household waste. No one knows how long it take for a disposable diaper to decompose, but it estimate to be about 250-500 years, long after your children, grandchildren and great, great, great grandchildren will be gone” (source from RDA )
• Cloth diaper need an extra learn before you used it
• Cloth diaper is 100% reusable you can use it through multiple children
• Cloth diaper is environmental friendly
• Cloth diaper need an extra job after the baby use it ( you will have to wash it and deal with “poop”)
• Cloth diaper seems to be more comfortable for the baby.
  

After a while considering, I choose cloth diaper for my baby because all the advantages that we (the parent) and the baby get. As a parent I want the best for my child but the facts showed that disposable diaper may not full fill my goal of caring my baby naturally.
