Cloth Diapering has become quite a trend these days among eco-friendly parents. Cloth diapering means parents can use the same diaper over and over again, with just a wash in between use. This is a great alternative to throwing away disposable diapers, since an average baby will go through 8,000 disposable diapers before they are potty-trained!
Though there is a little more work involved in cloth diapering, the diapers can go right in your washing machine to get washed. You can also save a lot of money, since you will only need between 12 and 18 diapers per child.
What do you think about cloth diapering? Is it ever something you would consider? Comment below!

That’s right it does need more work and what more to it is it is not the convenient thing to use if both parents are working.
Thanks for sharing your link. Good information! Yes, feeling the discomfort of being wet can certainly help in the potty training process!
Hello,
I think this article suggests a great ideas. When I was potty training my child, letting his pants got wet will teach them a lot about going to the toilet. Then they realize that they will feel discomfort when they was not going to the toilet if they wanted to pee/defecate.
Anyway, some people suggest to not use disposable diaper, since it will not teach anything to the toddler.
