I used cloth diapers on my own son, who was born in 2008. I wanted to limit his exposure to harmful chemicals and also to keep those chemicals out of landfills so cloth seemed like the obvious choice! I had worked at a daycare while I was pregnant and one of the families there used cloth diapers. This was my first introduction to modern cloth diapers and to be 100% honest if it weren't for that experience I probably would never have tried it myself. I heard the horror stories told by my own mother and other older moms that I knew. But once I saw how easy and convenient it could be it was an easy decision to make! My son is now five years old and has never had a diaper rash in his life. He has very sensitive skin, so this is a pretty major accomplishment! Now that I am a birth/postpartum doula I am in a fantastic position to share my knowledge of cloth diapering with my clients. I offer a two hour babywearing/cloth diapering workshop as part of my comprehensive package.

Cloth is an excellent way to provide our children with the healthiest diapering choice. It is also much better for our environment and financially more feasible. Besides, cloth is so much cuter!

I was diapered in cloth as was my mother and grandmother; now I cloth diaper my child. The comfort and health benefits for the baby are my main reasons for choosing cloth diapers. I want to share this knowledge with other families and provide convenience also.

It's more comfortable for my babies and it's cuter on their bums. It brings me together with my community and it doesn't smell terrible and leave behind waste and chemicals like disposable diapers do.

I chose cloth diapers to do my part in reducing unnecessary waste.

I started cloth diapering 3 years ago when my oldest was two-weeks-old. I wanted to help the environment and choose a chemical free alternative to disposable diapers. We are now cloth diapering our second baby.

When we found out that we were expecting a baby, the first step was trying to cut corners and curb spending in any way we could, both before and after the baby arrived. One of the things we considered was cloth diapers. My husband thought it would be a good way to save money and I agreed. Of course, I also thought that it was a great way to avoid stuffing landfills with poop! I am passionate about trying to reduce waste and love mother earth. Then after reading about the additional benefits of the natural fibers versus the chemical filled disposables on baby's skin, cloth diapers seemed like a no-brainer.

Cloth alternatives have provided us with a much more economical solution to the disposable lifestyle. Our first children were twins and the amount of trash bags we went through on top of all the diapers we had to pay for was astounding. We now not only use cloth alternatives but offer the same option to our local area.

We cloth diapered 8 children over the course of 27 years. Originally, it was a desire to have natural fibers next to baby's skin and a cost saving measure. As our family grew, the reasons evolved. A few of the children had sensitive skin/ eczema, and a few have asthma. The discovery of WAHM diapers brought the cuteness factor. In the last several years we have made strides towards becoming chemical free in our home.

I am a long time member of the Holistic Moms Network and Attachment Parenting International so using disposable diapers that were full of chemicals and wrecked havoc on our environment just did not seem to make any sense to me.
