Why Buy Baby Diapers If You're Not Diapering A Baby?
Your little one has come a long way since you put that first diaper on. If your baby is becoming a
toddler, then shouldn't you be using cloth diapers that treat her like one? If you already use cloth diapers,
you already know the many benefits of cloth:
 |
Saves money over disposable
diapers |
 |
Earlier and easier potty
training |
 |
No potentially toxic chemicals next
to your child's skin |
 |
No huge stinking trash can full of
disposables going to the local landfill every week |
 |
No running out to the store late at
night because you just put the last diaper on the baby's bum. |
 |
Did we mention saving money? |
But if your child is on the verge of outgrowing your stash, don't make the mistake of buying baby
diapers for a toddler. Since most cloth diapers are not well suited for use on active toddlers, making a good
decision now will save aggravation and money in the long run.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Renee Tice, and the impending birth of my daughter, now three years
old, introducted me to the world of modern cloth diapers.
My husband and I chose cloth for our family for all of those same reasons, and we never looked back. Never, that
is, until the day our daughter asked the ladies at her daycare to take her to the potty. She was 18 months old, and
I didn't even have potty training on my radar.
Our daycare suddenly refused to use the cloth diapers she'd been wearing almost her whole life. They
wanted me to send disposable pull up training pants so it would be easy to take her potty. I hated the idea of
giving up the awareness of wetting she had access to with cloth diapers, so I researched my cloth options
first.
I wanted an easy-to-use next-step diapering solution that the daycare would use and that would help my toddler
through the learning process, but without creating extra hassles for me. All of the conveniences of disposable
products, but with the true wetting awareness you can only get with cloth.
What did I find waiting for me in the cloth diaper world?
 |
Lots of cloth diapers that didn't
pull on and off over the feet. |
 |
Lots of training pants that aren't
waterproof, or don't hold a full pee, or both. |
