Advantages: healthier for baby and the earth, cheap, less nappy rash

Disadvantages: none

I unfortunately used disposables with my eldest but with 2nd son I discovered cloth and I will never look back!

Obviously there is the enviromental issues, if you are using a disposable your great , great, great , great, great, great , great, great , great, great, great , great, great , great, great, great , great, great grandchild will probably have just been born when your childs nappies have finally disintegrated! Not to mention all that untreated human faeces (full of live viruses from the vax some babies have) in the landfills creating a public health risk!

There all sorts of chemicals in disposables so I am far happier knowing that all that covers my baby's bottom is cotton!

Its easy and cheap and cloth nappies can come in all sorts of patterns and colours so they give you an excuse to shop too!

I'd highly recommend them!

I'm a recent convert to cloth nappies. There is bound to be one which meets your needs.If not a total cloth one, then a reusable outer with a completely biodegradable inner, such as Weenees.
Having used disposables for my 2nd daughter, I'd say that reusable nappies are no more of a pain - at least if you find you're runing out, you just put the washer on, and 3 hours later, you have clean nappies - not an option at 1am! Try them and seee. many areas have cloth nappy libraries for you to give it a go. Ask at your local library or try your Health Visitor.

cacalala1971 ,

they really are very easy to use (especially if you pay for them to be washed, only costs about £8 a week cheaper than pampers!). I knew about the enviromental impact before I was converted, its the chemicals in the nappies I worry about! One is called tributyl tin and was used in paint for boat hulls until it was banned for causing gender problems in sealife such as oysters! Yet it is in most disposables.
