Quick math reveals that the
number of diapers that we would end up using on our babies in the first 3
years. For night-only usage the figure comes to 1620 diapers considering an
average of 1.5 diapers per night for 36 months. Increase this to 5 diapers to
cover full time diapering the figure stands at 5400 diapers.
On disposables, you end up
spending a minimum of 16200 to 54000 rupees in the first three years of
diapering.
Compare this to
cloth diapers which cost on an average rupees 600 (includes a pocket diaper and
two inserts combo or cover + pre-fold/flats), for night time diapering you
might need on rotation maximum of 4 diapers which amounts to Rs.2400. Even if
the cost of laundry and detergent are included this turns out to be more
economical.
On
full time diapering, with a recommended number of 20, the spend is about 18000
rupees.
