1.) It saves money! Spread out the investment through the last trimester of pregnancy and use any baby shower gift cards to buy your reusable diapers. After the newborn stage (8+lbs baby), you can get away with about 18 diapers. My favorite diapers cost $17 at full price with no discounts for a grand total right over $300. These diapers go from 8lbs to 35lbs! Cloth diapers kept in good condition have a resale value and nice diapers can be bought used.
2.) They are so cute. Could you do this otherwise and have such a fun shot?

3.) Your crafty friends and family can actually help you make diapers. Yep this one was hand made by me!

5.) They are better for the environment! It takes forever, yes 200 to 500 years is forever to me, for a disposable diaper to decompose. Did you know you are supposed to be scraping all that poo out of the disposable and into the toilet before placing it in a landfill? If not, it's considered hazardous waste.
6.) Babylegs!! Google if you don't know what these are. They are the cutest.
Nolan wore a onesie over his diaper in this picture but Babylegs
and a cloth diaper make the perfect summer outfit for a crawler.
7.) Cloth diapers are more breathable and place less/no chemicals next to baby's bottom.
