Contrast that with the moms who rely on diaper banks to keep their babies clean, dry and healthy.

Two weeks of disposable diapers could be replaced by enough cloth diapers and a pail if only it weren't so archaic.....

With my first baby (almost 40) I had no dryer and washed my diapers and hung them out to dry. My dad took pity on me and gave me a small dryer but I liked hanging them out to dry when I could because the sun bleaches the stains. My mother and my mother in law told me that they ironed the diapers to sterilize them. I never did that.

My in laws were quite poor and raised nine healthy children without any help from the govt. She never used a single disposable diaper.
