Cloth Diapers... Making Waves!

I subscribe to Dirty Diaper Laundry and was slightly disturbed by Kim's post this morning.
In a nutshell, Pampers is saying that Cloth Diapers can cause colds. What?
Did you know that one of the causes of colds in babies is the wetness that cloth diapers cannot absorb?  With Pampers disposable diapers, your baby can stay dry all night and is less likely to get a cold than he would with cloth diapers.
That’s because Pampers diapers absorb and lock away 100 times more wetness than cloth diapers do.
Keeping skin in its perfect, natural state.
Oh, and they also claim that babies in cloth diapers develop slower, or even fail to thrive compared to their counterparts in disposables.

Seems like cloth diapering parents are on the rise!
Why else would pampers feel the need to slander cloth diapers?
Do they feel that threatened?
I am sure they do. They do have to keep their shareholders rolling in money. The more people buying cloth diapers mean less people buying disposables. Look at how much each company tries to tell parents why they should buy their brand instead of the competition.

  1. Are you serious??? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Thanks for bringing this to my attention-I didn't know I was endangering my sons' health by cloth diapering (that's sarcasm you hear). I will write them!
