In this blog, we’re playing Sherlock to try and figure out which diapering option is really the best for your baby’s cute little bottoms. Let’s start with the most popular choice of mothers today: Baby diapers. Baby diapers – Diapers for infants are every new mom’s best friends. After all, disposable newborn diapers are used by more than 90% mothers in the world.

• Newborn diapers are hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial so your little one is always protected from nasties such as rashes, bacterial and fungal infections.
• Disposable diapers are filled with absorbent gel molecules that soak the liquid and then turn it into gel form so the diaper soaks liquid at lightning fast speed and there are no leaks, spillages or nasty messes to clean up later.
• They also generally last 3X longer than cloth diapers- overnight diapers even more so. Put your baby in one to have blissful, uninterrupted eight hours of sleep.
• Disposable diapers now come with a wetness indicator. This indicator changes color to let you know when a diaper has reached its capacity. The wetness indicator in Snuggy Gold changes from a yellow to a blue color. So, rashes from staying in a wet diaper for too long? Not for a Snuggy baby!

Cloth diapers – Cloth diapers today have evolved from a plain cloth with cloth strings and pins to Velcro and snap closures. Cloth nappies are both easy to wear and remove in the 21st century.

• Cloth diapers are sadly, nowhere near as absorbent as disposable baby diapers. So, this means while you’re busy putting masala in the curry or scheduling a meeting with your boss, your baby could be sitting in a puddle of their own pee.
• Cloth nappies leak, quite a lot too. This could mean going back a few decades in time to depend on oil cloths.
• There always is the chance of your baby catching infections or getting sick from a diaper that wasn’t properly cleaned and disinfected.

This was it from us today! If you’re feeling a little adventurous, you can definitely go for cloth nappies or other options available in the market today. But, we would really not recommend going Frankenstein on your baby’s precious little bottoms.
