Will you use cloth diapers or disposable diapers for long-distance travels?

These days, we travel away from home frequently for work or holiday purposes. The basis of this discussion is that the baby goes with you. For convenience, we tend to prefer disposable diapers. To be honest, we do that as well. To minimize diaper rash, we choose premium disposable diapers over the more economical ones. Even so, when our baby wear the disposables for extended period of time, swelling and redness as signs of skin irritations develop at the buttock, and we have to apply diaper rash cream to calm the skin. We do not face such problems with cloth diapers. So, when we travel, we always bring disposables and cloth diapers. In the day, we alternate between disposables and cloth diapers. At night, we always use cloth diapers. That way, we have been quite successful in minimizing skin irritation to the baby.

Recently, we have the chance to catch up with a few parents. So, we took this opportunity to do a little survey on this topic. Not surprisingly, the parents agree with our method, with some already doing so. We would like to hear from more parents on you deal with the issue. Please send your thoughts to support@sgbum.com.
