Buying disposable diapers for your little ones every week could cost as much as $2,000 over the course of the year. Cloth diapers are better for the environment. All of those used disposable diapers account for over 3 million tons of landfill waste per year, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/blog\/cloth-vs-disposable-diapers\/\">disposable diapers<\/a> don&rsquo;t easily decompose.<\/p>\n<p>Cloth diapers come in a variety of different designs, materials and colors.
