Many moms wonder if buying newborn sized cloth diapers are worth the cost. What if the baby is born weighing 9 lbs? How long will this size really last?

First you need to realize your reason of cloth diapering your baby. Is it for comfort, environment, or finances? Maybe it’s all the above.

If you are cloth diapering your child for comfort or because you are wanting to live greener then definitely yes. A newborn is changed at least 10 times a day and often more. That is a lot of disposable diapers going into the landfills.

If you are cloth diapering to save money the answer is still yes. A great method of cloth diapering a newborn is prefold diapers. With prefold diapers you can also use them when your baby grows out of them for doublers, inserts, and burp towels. Definitely a money saver. If you go with a fitted or pocket it will still be worth it. You will save money on not having to replace your baby’s clothing due to blowouts.

Is cloth diapering for a newborn worth it? Most definitely yes. You save the environment, your money, and keep your baby comfy.
