Use cloth, #2!

Happy Monday...here's our daily tip, and another way you can switch to cloth!


Ditch disposable diapers. Babies go through about 2,500 diapers; cloth diapers washed at home cost $0.03 per use, while disposables cost about $0.22 each. Disposable diapers produce at least 70 times more waste than cloth diapers, and Americans trash 18 billion diapers each year. Conventional diapers are also more irritating to baby skin. Not into cloth? Some new diapers offer convenient inserts that break down in 150 days or fewer (versus 500 years for standard disposable ones).


We are getting closer to Earth Day! Hope to see everyone at Green Nest on Friday at 6 to help with our second annual Davis Street Clean-Up!

  1. We use cloth, and our 4 and 1/2 month old has yet to have diaper rash. Knock on wood!
