The 18 billion disposable diapers thrown into landfills each year can take as long as 500 years to decompose. But washing hundreds of cloth diapers a month isn't environmentally sound either. There are plenty of other issues in the great debate between cloth and disposable diapers. The rash may be confined or may extend from one area of the diaper to another.

Choosing how to diaper you child can be a difficult decision, but it shouldn't be. In this day an age of convenience, we should more than ever keep in mind how our decisions affect our environment and our children. Many people think that using cloth diapers is difficult and time consuming. Most parents today opt for disposable diapers and with good reason. They're easy to put on, maintenance-free, and are less likely to leak, especially around the legs.
