Default How Much Will Cloth Diapers Save Us?

I have heard that cloth diapers are much cheaper than disposables. Is that really true? About how much would we save by using cloth diapers exclusively?

You will have a more expensive initial outlay if you buy your diapers (as opposed to using a diaper service or using disposables). But, in the long run, you can save between $1000 and $2000 over three years – some people claim to save even more. It depends largely on what type of cloth diapers you choose. The cheapest option is the old-fashioned prefold cloth diaper – it is very inexpensive. The newer cloth diapers can be more expensive but are still cheaper than disposables over time. You can easily space out your investment over a few months after your baby is born if it makes it easier for you financially.

Like was stated before, initial costs will be higher for cloth diapers but you don't have to keep buying them like disposable diapers so in the long run cloth will be cheaper
