On average, a new parent will change a newborn’s diaper up to 12 times per day. Throughout their first year of life, parents will likely pay around $900 (or more) for diapers.
Diapers are one of the most expensive ongoing expenses when you have a baby. Children can stay in diapers for an average of three years (or more, depending on nighttime wetting) before they’re potty trained.
With such a big expense, you’ll want to know the best diapers to help save you some money and keep your little one as dry as possible.
Types of Diapers
Roughly speaking, there are two kinds of diapers: disposable and cloth. Here is a quick overview of each.
Cloth Diapers
Cloth diapers are diapers that are made from reusable materials like cotton, microfiber, and so forth. They are designed to be reused and grow with your baby for several years, saving you some serious cash and time.
Modern cloth diapers are easy to use than their past counterparts. They also come in a variety of different designs, sizes, and types, like all-in-one, hybrid, pre-folds, and so forth, which means they’re able to meet the need of the parents and the baby.
The cost of disposable diapers upfront might induce sticker shock, but on average, parents who cloth diaper save about $1,000 or more within the second year. You start seeing the most savings when you have multiple children. Some people believe that cloth diapering is better for the environment, and there’s real information to support it.
Disposable Diapers
