With today’s economy, saving money is crucial for families. Many parents have decided to cloth diaper simply for the savings to their budget. Parents with young babies can tell you just how expensive it can be to purchase boxes of disposable diapers over, over and over again. If you’re one of these parents, did you know that with about $100 you can purchase all the cloth diapers you need?
Cloth diapering with prefolds and covers is the most affordable way to cloth diaper. Prefolds are multi layered cloth diapers, normally made from 100% cotton. They are generally just a couple of dollars per diaper. And since prefolds are not waterproof, diaper covers are needed, such as the Thirsties Duo Wrap diaper covers that are available locally in Orange County. Diaper covers can be used more than once during the day time, so parents need more prefolds than they do diaper covers. Generally, and as a guideline, parents will need 2-3 dozen prefolds and 6-8 diaper covers for a new baby. Older babies and toddlers need less cloth diapers and usually use around 1 ½ - 2 dozen prefolds and 4-6 diaper covers.
Since most cloth diapering stores have package deals with discounts for bulk cloth diapering purchases, parents will happily find that with just about $100, they are able to purchase all the prefolds and covers needed to switch from the cost of disposable diapers to affordable cloth diapers. And since the cost of disposable diapers can run into the thousands during the time baby is diapered, $100 for cloth diapering means a huge savings for families.
