As much as new parents are excited about their babies, something that always remains a cause of concern is the ‘nappy phase.’ There are so many questions and worries related to baby care, and a lot of them revolve around nappies.
Parents usually fret about the type of nappy they can use, their comfort levels on the baby’s skin, as well as their quantities and expenses per month.
In an era where everyone likes to have things quick and easy, disposable nappies have become very popular. But what if you realised that cloth nappies, too, could provide you with immense long-term benefits?
1. Cloth nappies help with potty training
Cloth nappies allow the baby to feel the wet sensation on their skin. This makes them aware whenever they pee. After all, there is no incentive for a child to use the loo when he does not even get wet when he pees. This ensures early potty training for your child.
2. Cloth nappies are cost-effective
In the long term, cloth nappies can save you a lot of money. You only need to buy a limited amount of them, and they can be washed and used repeatedly. You can use a single nappy for a long time. And it also comes in handy when you have a second baby.
It is also very convenient to use, as you don’t have to go to a shop in an emergency. All you need is a washing machine!
3. Cloth nappies are skin-friendly
Cloth nappies allow the skin to breathe Which means your baby will feel a lot more comfortable, and there will be much less trouble with skin rashes and irritations.
Also, these nappies are made of light cotton, which allows the baby to move freely without restrictions.
4. There are no chemicals in cloth nappies
Chemicals are not used in manufacturing cloth nappies. Chemicals tend to kill the useful bacteria present on the skin and alter its pH levels. Using cloth nappies prevents this or any other skin-related disorder.
5. There’s no waste with cloth nappies
Do you realise where all the used-up nappies generally go? To the land dumps.
You can reduce a lot of land waste refills and reduce the carbon footprint by using reusable cloth nappies which are biodegradable.
So whatever the cause of motivation, saving some money or saving the environment, it is always a good idea to give cloth nappies a try for your baby.
