Obviously a big benefit of cloth diapering is the environmental appeal.
Cloth diapers don't end up in landfills where it takes 500 years for a disposable diaper to break down. Did you know that disposable diapers are the third largest consumer item in landfills (behind paper products and plastic). In a 1991 report on disposable diapers, it was found that to diaper ONE baby for just ONE year it takes over 300 pounds of wood, 50 pounds of petroleum feedstocks, and 20 pounds of chlorine. Eeeek! Seriously?!
That's about all I'll say about that for now because the little one is being so darn cute right now I can't stand to be behind this computer one second longer :)
