Diapers are overall a tiny expense compared to what you’ll spend over the course of their childhood.
It only lasts a few years and then you’ll never have to think about diapers again (at least until the next kid).
Just do whatever is easiest and keeps you sane. There are bigger things to worry about.
My oldest was trained at 3 years, and my youngest at 18 months.
The oldest only trained for a week, and the youngest trained for almost year.
- dangus 8mo agoIt’s easy for this style of journalism to get upset about “billions” but that’s just the reality of a country with over 300 million people. If each person in this country buys a product for $10 they’ve spent $3 billion. Now it’s a scary headline about how billions in wealth has been siphoned. I for one am not going to use cloth diapers. Sorry not sorry. I don’t give a shit (pun very much intended) about the benefits: I’m not cleaning diapers out, I’m not saving soiled diapers in my diaper bag to take home when I’m out and about. It’s just not something I’m going to do when Costco will sell me over 100 disposable diapers for $20. To your point, diapers at under $100 a month is nothing compared to a single night of babysitting or a month of daycare.
