How is Diaper rash avoided?
Diaper rash can be prevented by using cloth diapers and keeping the diaper area very clean, breast feeding, and changing diapers often
How long do cloth diapers last?
Cloth diapers should last at least a good 6 months, assuming they aren't washed too often. If they are, expect the 'life expectancy of a cloth diaper' to be about 3 months. And that estimate could differ from house to house due to amount of "hardness" in the water, along with the age of the baby/infant/child.
How often should a baby diaper be changed?
If the diaper is not dirty because the baby has not pooped or peed, you should change the diaper every 2 to 3 hours, which will prevent diaper rash. If the diaper is only a little wet, it is okay to leave it on for another couple of hours. Expect to use 10 to 12 diapers daily.
Which are more expensive cloth diapers or disposable diapers?
Cloth diapers are more expensive but in the long run disposable diapers will usually cost more to you.Cloth diapers you only probably need to buy about 15 in a life time, but they are a pain to clean and change, and they leak more often than a disposable diaper. Also they can sometimes run your water bill really high depending on how you clean them, and a cloth diaper takes longer to change and must be changed quickly or the diaper will leak and smell. Disposable diapers can also leak sometimes but are less likely to. You can buy them in bulk for a cheap price too. They are easier to change and depending on the brand can hold in more waste for longer( like over night disposable diapers unlike cloth diapers because if your baby goes potty while sleeping, you are pretty much guaranteed a leak). I would recommend you buy disposable.

Should you use cloth or disposable diapers and why?
Both cloth and disposable diapers have their pro's and con's, you should make your decision based on your own personal circumstances. Remember you don't have to choose one or the other, many families use both. I use cloth diapers at home and disposable when we go out or have a babysitter. Cloth diapers pros: -much cheaper in the long run (most families spend $100-$500 to cloth diaper their baby from birth to potty training) -environmentally friendly -no chemicals or unnatural/inorganic materials against your baby's skin -come in cute colors and prints -many more options in material, size, and style Cloth diapers cons: -need to be washed every few days - difficult if you don't have access to laundry facilities -require spending quite a bit of money up front in order to have a big enough stash -most diaper creams and powders can damage them -many daycares and babysitters are unwilling to use cloth diapers -tend to be more bulky, some modern baby clothes won't fit over them Disposable diaper pros: -dont have to wash them, just throw away -no awkward situations when people find out you use cloth diapers -easier to change diapers when away from home -no need to have a large stash to begin, just buy them as you need them Disposable diaper cons: -much more expensive (most babies cost $1,000 to $3,000 to diaper from birth to potty training) -bad for the environment, fill up our landfills -have to take out the trash often -chemicals used can lead to more diaper rash
