Stop Dismissing Cloth Diapers as a Solution for Diaper Need
Diaper need is a real problem and cloth diapers are a real solution. There is no government program that provides diapers to families in need, and far too many families are left to choose between things like food and utilities, or diapers for their baby. There are charities and organizations that collect donated disposable diapers and distribute them to families however, it is generally not enough to diaper a baby full time, and many families are left to “stretch” a single diaper for the whole day, or even scrape and reuse them.
It seems that every few months, there is another article bring awareness to the issue of diaper need, and every time, cloth diapers are immediately dismissed as an option. Providing disposable diapers is a band aid. Cloth diapers are the cure, and many arguments against cloth are nothing more than misconceptions.
This is Kiera’s birth story, written by Jenn.
Kiera is my 3rd child and my 2nd VBAC. My first child was born via c-section 5 years ago. We decided to go with a c-section after 2 hours of unsuccessful pushing and a sunny side up baby in lieu of a vacuum extraction. Baby boy ended up being 8lbs 5 oz, which was huge for me at 4ft 11inches! He had large contusion on his head from being stuck and I am convinced that a c-section was the right decision.
