Why Modern Cloth Diapers seem too expensive?

The real cost of 'disposable' diapers, example PetPet'disposable' diapers,at regular price of Rm32.90.
The newborn will need about 10-12 diaper(size s contains 84 diapers) changes per day in the first 4 weeks. So 1 month is about 4 packages or 336 diapers. Total cost is Rm131.6 per month.

For 1 to 5 months old babies usually need about 8-10 diaper(size M contains 70 diapers) changes a day.So about 3 packages for that month. If 1 package contains 70 diapers. The total of diapers 840 diapers for just 4 months. For a total cost of RM394.8 at regular price.

If you are lucky, your baby will still fit into diaper size M (70 diapers) for another few months. But your baby will still need about 8 changes a day from 5 to 9 months. That's another 840 diapers for the next 4 months or so. For a total cost of RM394.8 at regular price.

For baby 9-12(size L contains 60diapers) month baby still needs about 8 changes a day. So add on 13 more packages for that 3 months or 754 diapers.This really adding up ..isn't it?

So in just you baby's first year alone, you will have lugged home about 31 Jumbo-sized packages or 2796 diapers. For total outlay from your pocket of RM1348.9 at regular price.

Of course, it does get better once your baby is over a year old. For this age, the packages only contains 50 diapers,but for 12-18 months baby will need just 6 diapers changes a day, this about 22 packages or 1296 diapers for 6 months,then the total cost of RM723.8 at regular price.

For 1 year, you'll spend over RM2xxx for disposable diapers. Still, aren't all these new cloth diapers awfully expensive?

Now, how much do you plan to spend on your baby's stroller? A good-quality stroller averages around RM600.00, and your baby will use it two to six times a week, up to two hours at a time . . . for about two years.Wouldn't your back and arms agree it's worth the money?

Most parents-to-be consider the crib to be the first, and most important, purchase. An economical crib and mattress will cost you at least RM600.00, and your baby will use it from zero to eighteen hours per day.Except for those babies that prefer to sleep with Mom.That's seven days a week, for two to three years.

What value will you put on an item your baby will use 24 HOURS per day . . . SEVEN DAYS per week . . . for at least 18 MONTHS TO 3 YEARS? An item worn against the most sensitive, vulnerable and precious part of your baby's body? An item which must not only offer a comfortable, snug fit . . . but must be durable enough to last through 200 wetting, pooping, rinsing, washing and drying cycles.

Compare the value of a high-quality, convenient-to-use, long-lasting cloth diaper, averaging around RM30 each . . . your baby may not wear more than once!

Comparing this to the costs of "disposables", you would be able to recoup your initial outlay within your baby's first year.
Which means the second and third year of diapering are FREE!!!
