HOW MUCH WILL CLOTH DIAPERS COST?

The cost of cloth diapering varies from person to person.  Modern cloth diapering allows caregivers so many options from standard prefolds and diaper covers to All-In-One diapers that snap on as easy as any disposable diaper.  I am going to make some general categories and assign costs. 

Dirt Cheap: less than $20

Our great-grandmothers more-than-likely never bought actual cloth diapers but they all used cloth.  They will admit that their style of diapering wasn't the easiest but they used what they had. more...  

Cost Effective: $200-$510

Most cloth diapering caregivers would agree that prefold diapers and diaper covers provide a balance between cost savings and ease of use. more...

Convenient: $300-$720

Pocket diapers and All-in-one AIO diapers provide the convenience that caregivers start wanting more and more as baby gets bigger.  more...

Night Diapering: $40-$90

Cloth diapering at night comes with a range of options to protect the mild wetter and even the heavy wetter.  Choosing the Night Diapering System that works best for you can provide overnight protection with maximum comfort for baby. more...

HodgePodge: $Lots of Fun

Probably most cloth diapering families end up with a hodgepodge of diapering items  This hodgepodge is developed over time to meet the individual needs of the caregivers and babies.  Cloth diapering is enjoyable and becomes so much fun that caregivers find themselves worried about developing a cloth diapering addiction. 

Resalable Value: about 50%

While discussing the cost of cloth diapering remember that good diaper products are durable and designed to serve more than one child.  The resalable value of used cloth diapering supplies seems to be about 50% or more of the retail value.  Newborn diapers often resale for nearer 70% of retail value.
