The Benefit of Opting for Cloth Diapers<\/h2>\n
Unlike their disposable counterparts, cloth diapers offer a slew of benefits that may make you consider them for your soon-to-arrive baby or make the switch if you\u2019re already using disposable diapers.<\/p>\n
1. Healthier Option<\/strong><\/p>\n Firstly, cloth diapers do not carry the same EDCs, or endocrine-disruptive chemicals, such as phthalates<\/a>. A study published in 2021 linked early life exposure to EDCs with \u201cearly puberty\u201d in baby girls.1<\/sup><\/p>\n Cloth diapers are a great hypoallergenic option, but you also want to consider a safer-choice laundry detergent for babies. Keeping your baby\u2019s sensitive skin safe is a top priority; ECOS Hypoallergenic Laundry Detergent<\/a> is made without dyes, 1,4-dioxane, or EDCs, making it a gentle and safer-to-use option.<\/p>\n 2. Better for the Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s in the name, but we think it\u2019s important to mention reusable diapers are better for the environment because you can reuse them! Something stinks and we think it\u2019s this staggering statistic from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: Disposable diapers make up 4.1 million tons of municipal waste!2<\/sup><\/p>\n 3. Less Expensive<\/strong><\/p>\n Cloth diapers are a one-time purchase, unlike single-use disposables. New parents are confronted with expenses from new clothes, bottles, toys, stroller, car seat, crib\u2026 the list goes on. Add disposable diapers into the equation and that could cost upwards of $2,500 more, depending on the number of diaper changes a day, by the time your baby is out of them!3<\/sup><\/p>\n With cloth diapers, you\u2019ll spend less money on the cost of supplies by washing and reusing them. As a bonus, if you plan on having another baby in the future, you may even be able to save and use them again with your next baby!<\/p>\n Your baby is precious. Their eyes, nose, smiles, adorable noises, and soft skin. As a parent, you want to protect their sensitive skin by picking a laundry detergent that doesn\u2019t have harsh ingredients. ECOS Hypoallergenic Laundry Detergent<\/a> uses a coconut-derived cleaner to break down odors and eliminate stubborn stains.<\/p>\n When washing your baby\u2019s cloth diapers, follow these simple steps<\/a>4<\/sup> using our hypoallergenic laundry detergent<\/a>:<\/p>\n Sometimes, if a laundry detergent isn\u2019t enough, you need a tougher cleaner to remove stains without compromising on health. We recommend using ECOS OxoBrite\u00ae Multi-Purpose Stain Remover<\/a> as a safer alternative to bleach. It\u2019s a mineral-based stain remover that will help lift stains, brighten colors, and whiten whites.<\/p>\n New parents can use all the help they can get, especially with learning how to properly wash and care for their baby\u2019s things. It takes a village, and we have helpful tips in our How to Wash Your Baby\u2019s Clothes: A Guide<\/a> blog article.<\/p>\n Cloth diapers may be the healthier, environmentally safer, and more cost-effective choice for you and your baby.
