Cloth vs. disposable
Cloth diapers cost more upfront (~$300–$800 for a starter stash) but can cut a 2.5-year disposable budget by 50–70%, especially across multiple kids. Add in water, detergent, and laundry time before comparing. A hybrid approach (cloth at home, disposables on the go) is popular because it splits the cost and convenience trade-off.
