Disposable diapers are often perfumed and those additives can cause a sever allergic reaction in some infants. Cloth diapers do not have to come with any scent added.
As often as they are soiled.
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.

In the 1930s, the cost of diapers varied depending on the type and brand, but cloth diapers were the most common and were often homemade. Disposable diapers were just starting to appear on the market and were relatively expensive compared to cloth options. On average, cloth diapers could be purchased for a few cents each, while early disposable diapers could cost around 25 to 40 cents for a package of a dozen. Overall, the cost of diapering a baby was significantly lower than it is today, especially considering the prevalence of cloth diapers.
Diaper rash can be prevented by using cloth diapers and keeping the diaper area very clean, breast feeding, and changing diapers often
Yes. Cloth diapers are much better for the environment than disposable. A family using disposable diapers on one child contributes 4-12 diapers per day to the landfill. These diapers are made of synthetic materials which do not decompose and may be harmful to the soil and water. Also, disposable diapers are made of sythetic materials and chemicals that require much more energy and waste to produce. Cloth diapers are made almost entirely out of organic materials, since they (cotton, bamboo, hemp, wool, etc) absorb much better than synthetic cloths. Most families use the same 30 or so diapers for the entire time their child is in diapers, and often use the same diapers for future children. After use as diapers most can be recycled or reused as cleaning rags. Thus, cloth diapers contribute little if anything to landfills. Yes, cloth diapers need to be cleaned and therefore require more water use, the amount of water is actually quite minimal and most treatment plants can clean the organic waste from the water quite easily.
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.
Diapers are frequently on special offer, so checking supermarkets online is very useful for finding the best deal. Mother and baby magazines also quite often have free samples and special offers.
