Most child care providers cannot accept children unless they have disposable diapers. Studies have established that disposables tend to keep babies dryer and maintain normal skin pH. With cloth diapers, babies must be changed more frequently to avoid conditions that lead to diaper rash. Sometimes the older generation and grandparents have strong opinions about diapering, but parents today have different time constraints. You must decide what fits your life style. Single-use diapers leak less than cloth diapers with rubber pants and are considered more sanitary in child care settings.
Studies show families use an average of seven disposable diapers per day.
Proper care of disposables will help maintain a germ-free environment for your baby. Empty feces in the toilet. Fold diapers with soiled area inside. Wrap in a recycled shopping bag or newspaper and put with garbage for disposal. Do not leave soiled disposable diapers on diaper tables in public restrooms or other public areas such as park benches.
