And to sweeten the deal further, consider that the cost of cloth applies to only one child. What if you have more than one? Then you incur another $1850 for disposables, but $0 for cloth, because you already have the cloth diapers and they will generally stand up to use for more than one child. So, the cost of cloth for subsequent children is only the cost of home laundering.

Finally, the re-sale value of used cloth diapers is quite high. There are many websites dedicated to the re-sale of used cloth diapers and they retain their value very well. Thus you recoup some of your cost, making cloth diapers an even more obvious choice. Need we say more?
