They are just so expensive to buy full price when you are literally throwing it in the garbage. I have never been interested in cloth diapering because I don’t want to clean up the mess afterwards. There was one part of this article that mentioned that babies in their first year only use 5 diapers a day, but I know that my newborn used 10 diapers a day for weeks. My daughter is currently 16 months and only uses 3-4 diapers a day now. You may want to check/correct that fact.

When the first 3/4 of their 1st year is 3x that and the last 1/4 of their 1st year is 5-7 diapers a day. The math just doesn’t add up. My daughter is 7 1/2 months and we use about 7-10 diapers a day, depending on weather she is at daycare. At daycare they change her every 2 hours! We use cloth diapers at home and on the weekends. I work 3 days a week. We have a wash routine, no diaper service. This has saved use tons! Plus, we plan on using these same cloth diapers for our future children. We do however, use disposables for overnight use and at daycare. Daycare puts in her cloth for her last diaper change. Hope this helps!

We also used cloth wipes, so that cost us about $5 and a little bit of water.

Cost for washing… we only had to do about 1-2 extra loads of laundry a week. According to a laundry calculator online, it only costs me about 85 cents per load of laundry so if I did 2 load a week at $1.70 per week for 52 weeks that’s $88.

$290 + $5 + $88 = $383! Can’t beat that savings!
