As a general rule of thumb its cheaper to re-use than to buy new everytime.
Most children can go through 6,000 to 8,000 diapers from birth to their third year. Those numbers when put toward the cost of disposables can add up to $2000 to $3000 with in those three years, if not more!
Depending on the type of cloth diaper it can cost about $300-$1,200 to diaper a child for those three years. Depends if you want the Camero or the Oldsmobile. As I said, depending on the type of cloth diaper. As you saw in my previous post there's a slew of different kinds and with that a slew of different prices. Also with Cloth Diapers you can find 'gently used' or default ones (these usually consist of small flaws- snap missing, lose threads or cosmetic issues- color distortion, wierd stitching that don't effect the diaper absorbancy just the look) for as low as half the price as new ones.
Once soiled those disposables diapers are no good, so in essence when buying disposables your buying 'trash' where as cloth diapers can be used multiple times and through out multiple children.
Always do your research!
