E is almost 10 months old and has been fully cloth diapered since he was 7 weeks old. That means that he has been cloth diapered for about 35 weeks. We have avoided the use of 1,470 pieces of diapers (at a conservative estimate of 6 diapers per day). With N, we only did partial cloth diapering and used Mamy Poko which was about 13 pesos per piece. So with E, we saved more than P19,000 already plus reduced the landfill waste by more than 1,000 pieces of soiled diapers!
More and more parents are switching to cloth and I'm glad to see a lot of cloth diapers available locally. One of the local brands widely available is Bamboo Dappy - a brand developed by Jenny Chua, a mom of 2 active boys. Jenny developed this brand when she found that disposable diapers take at least 250 years before they fully decompose. Bamboo Dappy also supports the World Wide Fund programs that help ensure a sustainable future of our country. Every time a Bamboo Dappy gets sold, the company donates P10 to their WWF for their monthly donation.
