Do you wear clothes from the store without washing them? Imagine a product straight from a plastics factory constantly on your baby's skin, designed with chemicals to make them as convenient/effective/cheap as possible versus safe/minimal chemical exposure, covered in plastics dust from the process/other products being made in the factory from worse chemicals.

We used glass bottles and a diaper service (we're from Santa Cruz) and people made fun. Then right after there were questions about chemicals from plastic bottles and our friends understood.

A quick search to see if there are also concerns about diapers returns https://www.ehn.org/non-toxic-diapers

A service is super easy. You can still use disposable for edge cases if needed. Why risk wrapping your child in highest profit possible+maximum convenience chemical creations 24/7 for years? Convience+chemicals+corporate profit greed have proven to be the worst combination for healthy/safe products in our capitalist system.
