You quickly will discover how much your baby loves nakedness. Bath time is best, but any nakedness will do just fine. After all, your baby spent the last nine months swimming naked in a big warm pool. To her, naked is the norm-perfectly familiar and completely natural. All of this clothing just complicates the otherwise simple business of simply being a baby.
The longer you ponder the Great Diaper Dilemma, the more you will recognize your baby's innate wisdom, because deciding which kind of diaper to clamp on all that adorable, soft and cuddly nakedness challenges your intellect, conscience, values, and family budget. Just when you think you have reached an acceptable, conscientious choice, some eager "green" parent asks whether you have found chlorine-free diapers, and you begin to think you and your baby will be just fine if you let her go naked until she begins pre-school.
Pressed to decide among your chlorine-free diaper options, you may discover-strange but true-professional diaper service emerges as your most economical, worry-free, baby-friendly choice.
Several manufacturers now offer chlorine-free disposable diapers. As you may imagine, however, you pay premium price for your dedication to Mother Earth's preservation. Of course, a quick cruise down the detergent aisle shows you all kinds of "new and improved" detergents with "bleach alternative"; they, too, cost more than the regular old out-of-the-box and out-of-the-bottle soaps and bleaches. And when you try these miracles of modern chemistry, you discover, to your chagrin, they do not really remove stains the way the old-fashioned inexpensive stuff did.
Twenty-first century diaper services claim at least three advantages over the do-it-yourself options:
(1) No muss, no fuss, no bother. You take a clean- fresh diaper from the neatly folded and packaged stack as you casually toss the dirty diaper into the pail the service so thoughtfully provided.
(2) The diaper service guarantees that it reclaims and reuses much of the gray water, so that load-for-load, they use less water than you would at home. And they absolutely guarantee they use no chlorine bleach to get baby's nappies white as new-fallen snow.
(3) Compared against the cost of disposables-with gas and time factored-in and compared against the cost of home laundry - with your time factored-in, disposable diapers cost no more. In fact, diaper service may save you some money; how much do you charge for your own stress and aggravation? Still, having said all that, a diaper service is really only good if you are nearly always at home. Going to visit mom? Out for the day? Do you want to carry around those soiled diapers till you get home? So for practical reasons most parents choose chlorine free disposables.
