Does anyone have any idea about the type of diapers to use.... I am so confused whether to use disposable or washable!! Disposable R very easy & comfortable for me & washable R cheaper & more beter for my babe......!!!Any help? Anupama replied. Dear Niki,

I am from Mumbai and am expecting for the 2nd time.
Due on 15th Sept., but doc says D-Day may be in last week
of August-1st week of September.
For the Indian climate, cloth nappies are much more hygienic and
cheaper. We use disposable diapers only when going out or when
protection is needed for a long time when there is no scope for changing
the nappy.
I believe in the U.S., what with carpets etc., you have to put disposable
diapers for the whole day? Cloth nappies ( cotton ones) let the skin breathe and
hence there is less risk of nappy rash.
You can probably put on a cloth nappy and then put a plastic underwear on top so that
your carpets dont get soiled and your baby is comfortable too.
Here we normally put \";langot\"; for the initial 3 months at least and then turn to diapers or
cloth nappies. But if it cold over there then \";langot\"; will be of no use.
Nothing else. All the best to you.
Take care.

Priya replied. Hi Nikki,

Disposable diapers are mostly used. There are cotton onces avaiable, which are also disposable. I shall ask my friend and let you know the specifications.
She also asked me to buy diaper disposal.. so I bought one.

Chalo will talk to u later
Priya Irene replied.
Disposable ones are always better, but it only adds to your cost. If that is not a problem, then go ahead with disposable ones....

Just to ease you a bit. I buy diapers for my sister-in-law's kid who is 4.5 months old from a friend's friend type who sells them on a kg basis.

He charges 150/- per kg which easily accomodates about 20 diapers and they are very much equal to the quality of branded ones.

Lemme know if that interests you to buy.

By the way, are you from Bombay, India??
