Neither.
Baby in a Happy Heinys cloth diaper.
We’ve decided to go with cloth diapers right from the get-go for our little one. Of course, this decision was based upon an extensive amount of web research and debate, but basically for me it just sounded uncomfortable (would YOU want to wear plastic on your bottom all day?) and the image of landfills steadily filling with my child’s diapers made me, well, dissatisfied. I knew there had to be a better way.
What I didn’t know, at least until this morning, was that the U.S. government, at the federal and local levels, has been trying to promote cloth diapers, and tax or even ban disposable diapers, since the 70’s. I was shocked!
Anyway, I started here and ended up finding a ton of other related information by googling ‘the history of diapers’. There is so much information out there that parents are completely unaware of!
If you’re considering cloth diapers, or just curious, I highly recommend this site for basic information. I also browsed through Cottonbabies.com, just to get an idea of what they look like. They are so simple, and adorable!
