A lot of people ask this question and so i thought i would run through the average costs of both. Of course, cloth diapers are better for the environment and better for your baby but we are now seeing more eco-friendly alternatives in the disposable diaper category. Organically Hatched sell a line of diapers made in Sweden called Nature Baby Care that is made from absorbent pulp from sustainably harvested Scandinavian forests. These chlorine free, plastic free line is a great eco-friendly alternative. Organically Hatched also now carry a bamboo diaper which is probably the softest diaper ever. It comes with three rows of snaps so it fits newborns all the way up to 33 pounds so you don’t need to buy different sizes. So here is cost comparison between the bamboo, organic cotton and the ec0-friendly disposable diapers we carry.
First 6 months (on average 6 diapers a day needed so you will likely need about 12 cloth diapers):
bamboo diapers: $359.88
Organic cotton diapers: $217.98 based on all size medium of the ultima, all in one organic cotton diapers
disposable diapers: $725 based on an average of 35 diapers in each package
As you can see, the organic cotton diapers work out to be the cheapest option followed by the bamboo diapers. Given that the bamboo diapers are one size and so soft, these are worth the extra money. You will likely need to buy different sizes of the organic cotton diapers as your baby grows out of these so the cost of the bamboo diapers are probably the same as what you would end us spending on the organic cotton diapers. Disposable diapers are more than double in cost so if you can deal with the regular cleaning and care of cloth diapers this is definitely the cheaper alternative.
