A Hip Look at #ClothDiapers – Changing Diapers Review
Cloth diapering – fun, cute, eco-friendly
Anyone who knows me, knows I love cloth diapering. We have been using cloth diapers with A.C. since the day we brought him home from the hospital. I love how cute they are and how they help us reduce our environmental impact. During our NICU days I spent hours on my laptop reading up on cloth diapering, learning the different brands and “window shopping”.
When starting out, the world of cloth diapering can be a little intimidating. Navigating the different styles and brands available can be difficult. And all of the jargon… AIO’s, pockets, fitteds… where do you even start? KellyWels recognized that the world of cloth diapering can be complex at the beginning and put together a great cloth diaper 101 book titled ChangingDiapers: The Hip Mom’s Guide to Modern Cloth Diapering.

Now you may ask what is Modern about cloth diapering? Well you are not limited to safety pins and plastic pants anymore! Now you have Velcro & snaps, an array of styles to make cloth diapering as easy as disposables, and don’t even get me starting on the variety of adorable prints that are available. Changing diapers offers a wealth of information on cloth diapers to help you navigate through all of this new information including sections on:
- Why Choose Cloth Diapers
- The “Basics” for all ages and stages
- The Back-to-Work/Daycare Dilemma (not really a dilemma in my books, we cloth diaper A.C. at daycare with no issues)
- Daddies & Diapers (again no issues here, hubby can wash, stuff and change diapers just the same as me)
- Wash Routines
- Have multiples? This book even has a section on how to cloth diaper multiples!
And if you are left with any lingering questions (or just want to do more reading on the topic), there are tons of resources and websites listed where you can go get more information.
This book is perfect for the family who is on the fence about cloth diapering or starting out in the “fluffy” world. It would make a great baby shower gift paired with a cloth diaper to help start off the mom’s stash. Now on sale for $11.98 the price is right too!
Changing Diapers pulls together all of the essential information into one easy to read book, filled with adorable pictures of babies in cloth diapers. It is also a great way to explain cloth diapering to family members or day care providers who are not familiar with cloth diapering or need a refresher (cloth diapering has come a LONG way in 20 years!)

I like cloth diapering for many reasons. Every time I change a cloth diaper I like knowing that there is one less disposable going into a landfill.
I like that I don't have to jump up and run to the store, dragging 5 kids out, just because we are out of diapers LOL
Everything! We started for the cost savings, but I love the health and environmental benefits as well.
Definitely the cost!
cheaper
Helping the environment
That is is great for the earth
cost savings
Even as a grandmother I bought the cutest cloth diapers.I have shown my son and his wife how much money they are saving. They are into keeping the world green so saving and helping out the environment. The only time they have to get disposable diapers is most sitters and daycare's refuse cloth diapers.
I love everything about cloth diapers! I don't even mind the poopy ones lol.
I love my cloth diapers for many reasons. Cost, the environment, cuteness, and they work better!
I love cloth diapers b/c they are better for baby and the environment. It doesn't hurt that they are amazingly adorable!
There are so many reasons I cloth diaper my kids! The most important 2 are: no (or significantly less) rashes on my little ones' bums AND cost savings!
Cost savings
The cuteness factor comes in a close second to the Cost Savings!
The cost savings is the primary reason!
I love my cloth diapers! I really like that I haven't had to keep filling our landfills with diapers that are never going to decompose. And I really like the savings…I don't pay for my water so all I have to buy is laundry detergent. bekki1820cb at gmail dot com

I love how cute the cloth diapers look and the fun prints and colours. I chose to go cloth for environmental reasons as well as to not expose my daughter to some of the nasty chemicals in conventional diapers.

I LOVE the amount of money that I am saving!!
I love that I am keeping diapers out of the landfill and that its better for baby's bottom!
The thing I like the best is the money savings. Tam S.
The money savings was the main reason in the beginning, but now I love that it is so much better for my baby's little tush
I like that cloth diapers are reusable!
I like the cost saving factor and the lack of waste! Plus they really are adorable.
The cost savings, the way they look and feel, and the cloth against baby's bum.
Everything! I started for the cost savings but stayed because of the cuteness!

I love the environmental aspect & cuteness!!!
eg kaufman
I love how many different types of diapers there are. It keeps things interesting! I also enjoy washing them, and how they look hanging out to dry
I love cloth diapering because it keeps the chemicals from disposables away from my baby's bum. Now I'm addicted to the cuteness.. and money savings is my “selling” feature.
My favorite thing is that there are no nasty chemicals on the baby with cloth.

I like the cost savings and that they are way better at containing messes than disposables.

I like it for a combination of things — the cost and environmental factors are great, but so is the cute fluffy bum
ngiraldi at gmaild ot com
I like that it saves money, it better for the environment, and better for your baby's bottom!
I like that it is better for the environment!
I like the environmental benefits and cost savings.
I like saving money, keeping diapers (and human waste) out of landfills AND keeping chemicals off my baby!
Definitely like saving money, but the diapers are also just too stinkin cute!!!!
The environmental impact is a HUGE factor in our cloth diapering. (Saving money is a perk, too!)
not only is it better for the environment and the bank account in the long run, its better for baby's bum. less diaper rashes, less reaction.
andrea_hockeygirl at hotmail dot com
For all of the reasons you mentioned. Especially the cost saving!
I love that there is no chemical exposure for my little one!
All of it– better for baby, environment, savings, and style!
Love that they are breathable and latex free.
Love that they are breathable and latex free.
Saving money, without cloth diapers, we would have a really hard time, it's already touch and go juggling bills, adding diapers and formula to the mix would be the breaking point
i love saving money and not tossing a billion nasty dipes in the trash!

helping out the environment for sure and the cost benefits too!
I loved the cost savings, and never having to run to the store for diapers!
Cloth diapering is better for the environment!
Love saving money and how cute my girl looks!
I originally started cloth diapering because disposables were so expensive…but now I do it because I know what's touching my baby's skin, and of course how cute she is!
Better for my son's very sensitive skin
My son ended up with a severe diaper rash when he was a newborn that left his skin blistered and bleeding
I switched him to cloth and haven't had any issues since, other than him growing out of the diapers too quickly!! Time to switch to a one-size! 
i love hanging them up to dry and stuffing them and putting them away i really do enjoy thatb

We cloth diaper for baby's health and for the environment. It would also be great for my wallet if I could just stop falling in love with cute prints all the time
I like the cost savings and the fact that you're cutting down on a lot of trash over using sposies.
the cost and savings of them also they are easy on the environment
The cost savings and because they are better for the environment.

The savings
It started to save money & the environment, but now It's a hobby! Thanks for stopping by my giveaway, I'm returning the visit! Christine G. @ Whywelovegreen
I don't cloth diaper yet because I am still TTC, but I love the idea and have been doing tons of research. I have friends that cloth diapered years ago, and they had a tougher time because there weren't as many cloth diaper companies, or blogs, or websites in general. I love how popular cloth diapering has become, and how much easier it will be for me when I actually need to diaper.
I like saving money! Chelsea W
I like that there is nothing artificial touching baby's skin

The environment, but more important, the care of my granddaughters sensitive skin.
The cute designs!

The environment
We started cloth diapering because I didn't want chemicals on my son's bum, but now I love all the cute prints and colors!
I like that cloth diapering is much more cost effective than disposables. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the cost savings and also that it's more environmentally friendly
Thanks,
Kelly Burroughs Crowell
I love never having to run and by diapers because I've run out. I like knowing I'm doing something for the environment and something that's healthy for my baby.
That it keeps more waste being added to the landfill.
environmentally sound
I like all of the benefits but to be honest my favorite benefit is saving money. Especially when you CD more than one child with the same diapers
I used cloth diapers for all three of my children many years ago and my daughter is now using them on her daughter. I found it convenient and cost efficient. The initial investment is a bit steep, but overall it is cheaper. Most importantly, the impact on the environment is minimal by comparison with disposable diapers. There are some biodegradable brands, but for the most part we are throwing toxic waste in the landfill with them.
I love that I dont have to fill my trash up with dirty diapers.
I like saving money cloth diapering
