Organic Cloth Diapers

Organic cloth diapers are a great choice for your baby as well as the environment.  If that is not a good enough reason to use organic cloth diapers maybe one or all of these facts will convince you:

        On average, each baby has around 7000 diaper changes, making 2.7 tons of non-biodegradable waste in just 2 ½ years. 

        In the year 2000, 3.3 million tons of diapers were dumped in landfills!  It takes 500 years for one disposable diaper to completely break down. 

        The average brand-named diaper costs $.35, equaling $2,450.00 for 7000 diaper changes.  If you chose organic cloth diapers, your total cost would be approximately $742.00

        Disposable diapers with untreated human wastes significantly raises environmental and public health concerns, along with concerns of it contaminating our groundwater resources. 

        Disposable diapers contain sodium polyacrlate, a highly toxic chemical.  Polyacrlate is the ingredient for keeping your baby “dry” and is the reason why your baby’s urine looks jelly!  This chemical sucks the moisture from your baby’s skin, was associated with TSS (toxic shock syndrome) and has been linked to intensifying asthma attacks. 

        Need another reason why organic cloth diapers are better?  Disposable diapers  also contain dioxin. Dioxin is a highly toxic chemical used to bleach many products.  This chemical is a pollutant to our environment and can be very harmful to babies.        

        The cotton used in organic cloth diapers is grown without the use of toxic pesticides, and is free of harmful dyes, chlorine and other detrimental chemicals. 

There is an extensive list of why organic cloth diapers are beneficial to you, your child and our environment, we just listed a few.  Buying organic cloth diapers supports our struggling farmers, keeps our water, air and soil cleaner and allows your baby and her skin to stay healthy.  Also, organic cloth diapers are reusable, allowing you to save yourself from endless trips to the store and from spending lots of money.
