Part 6/7:
Mess Factor: While dealing with solid waste can be unpleasant, both cloth and disposables necessitate similar handling. Tools like diaper sprayers can help minimize direct contact with mess.
Leakage: Reusables may require more attention to fit and absorbency. Once parents find the right setup, leaks can often be minimized.
Mental Health: The first few weeks postpartum can be challenging, and parents may want to consider using disposables temporarily to reduce stress. Flexibility is vital; sustainable parenting allows for occasional disposable diapers when commitment feels overwhelming.
