Benefits of Using Prefold Diapers

Cloth diapers have been colse to for much longer than disposable diapers, and yet they are largely unheard of and unused these days. It is much easier to just buy disposable diapers that can be used and thrown out. However, I wonder if folks knew some of the benefits of cloth diapers if they would not consider giving it a try.

1. Money Savings - Raising a young family is expensive. You have to buy food, clothes, toys, medication, bedding, car seats, high chairs and much much more. Add diapers to the equation and some parents heads start reeling. If you haven't already experienced it, the weekly or monthly cost of disposables can put a large strain on an already stretched budget. Fortunately, buying prefold diapers ends up being a huge cost savings. You can buy in bulk, wash them yourself, and save hundreds of dollars.

2. Good for your baby - Disposable diapers have all kinds of enthralling chemicals and materials in them. These are used to make sure the diapers are very absorbant and odor free among other things. But most of these chemicals are not the best for your baby. Yes, they are safe, but it is always preferable to have something pure and clean on your baby's skin. Most prefold diapers are made of uncomplicated cotton, a great material to keep against your baby's precious skin.

3. Good for the environment - Let's face it, we consume huge amounts, and originate immense amounts of waste. We are filling landfills at an alarming weight. Take some of the burden from all the diaper waste and save the planet while you save money and protect your child. Buying prefold cloth diapers lessens your trash and should give you a peace of mind, knowing that you're taking care of more than simply yourself.

Here's how to make it fun for all guests.

Baby Diapers

It is determined in bad taste for the pregnant mom or any of her relatives to throw the shower. Ask a close friend to throw one instead.

Tips For Putting Together a Baby Shower

Let your guests know if the baby's gender is already known. If it's not known let the guests know in the shower invitation so they can shop accordingly (if they would be so kind).

Decorate the baby shower with baby accessories which are then presented to the expectant mom or couple at the end of the baby shower.

Diaper cakes, while ever so popular, are also practical because they are made from cloth diapers and decorated with baby accessories. These items will come to be well used once the baby is born.

Do comprise the father in the baby shower if at all possible. Many men turn their noses up at the word "baby shower" but this can be made fun so they are not upset they came. Also if the father is part of the shower request other males so he is not left out.

Don't overwhelm your baby shower guests with games. More than five and it's overkill. These are not toddlers who need you to direct their day. Some other ideas can be let the guests mingle with each other and the guest of honor. Have an performance where the guests each write out a lovely piece of baby wisdom on ornamental cards to give the mom-to-be. She can read them aloud once they are done and keep them in a ornamental tin for future reminiscing.

Some fun baby shower games include...

Word scramble: Scramble up words of baby items and give your guests a few minutes to shape out what they are. Make them hard words too. Don't let them off easy with words such as crib or bottle.

Guess the baby accessory: Find some not so base baby items and have habitancy guess what they are used for.

Ask questions from base childhood stories. Such as "What was the second pig's house made out of in the Three diminutive Pigs?" or "Who were the three lazy characters in The diminutive Red Hen?".
