Your baby will go through an astonishing 6000 diaper changes from birth to potty. Choosing disposable diapers and wipes will add up to nearly $2000! In contrast by purchasing cloth diapers and wipes, you will actually earn in savings an hourly wage of $15 an hour in the time spent laundering your baby's reusable diapers.

Here is a breakdown of the savings:In 2.5 years of diapering...

Cost of disposables: $2000

Cost of disposable wipes: $800

Total cost disposables: $2800

Cost of cloth diapers: $840

Cost of cloth wipes (24): $42

Total cost of cloth: $882

Savings: $2000!*

Figure washing time as 15 minutes every other day. That adds up to just over 60 hours a year. With a savings of $800 a year, the time you spend laundering diapers equates to an earnings of $17.50 an hour. If you hang dry your diapers, you are spending more time...but saving more $$ in utility costs.

*The savings will go up even more if a family chooses a more affordable cloth diapering option such as prefolds.*

Disposable Diaper Costs:In a baby's first year, new parents will have brought home an average of 2,788 diapers for a total cost of $557.60...that is just for the 1st year! On average, you will spend between $2,600 and $3,000 on disposable diapers per child. That is per child! Buy cloth just once and you could potential have to pay ZERO for your next baby's diapers.
