All the benefits listed above. In addition, I used regular wipes for a while, but we were poor poor poor, so I switched to these cloth paper towel things. I just recently saw some in Target. They are like paper towels, but they are made of cloth. Anyhow, I cut them in quarters, and I would moisten them with water when the time came and use them like wipes, then in the wash with the diapers. All diaper rashes stopped immediately. I didn’t even need butt cream anymore.

the only benefit to baby is that it is all natural and no harsh chemicals touching baby’s skin.

Honestly, and I have nothing against use of a cloth nappy at all, but by the time you wash them and disinfect or soak them (or however you chose to clean them) they still can be harsh on babies skin, and contain chemicals from the cleaning product.
Plus, with the amount of water it takes to continually wash them, it’ still a blow to the environment, and we are on water restrictions here.
I am a through and through disposable nappy user, and am well aware they are not super to the environment, but they work for my family, just as cloths work for other families.
Different things for different people.
My son is fine in disposables l. I copped quite a bit from other parents on the use of disposables. I don’t know why people feel the need to judge other parents for something so trivial.
They are nappies for crying out loud! I’m not a bad parent for choosing the disposable kind, so don’t let anyone try and put you down too!

Cloth can save you money – how much it saves you is very much under your own control. Estimates on the amount range from £400 to £900 dependent upon what nappies you are using, how you wash and dry them, even whether you use paper liners or fleece. Of course, if your main reason for using cloth is to save money, then it is important to make sure you get the right nappies first time – see How to Choose for more information on this.
Cloth is more reliable – a well fitting nappy will contain a breastfed baby’s poo better than a disposable. They are a better fit, and unless you are using an all-in-one, there are two points at which a leak can be stopped – the nappy, and the wrap.
Cloth is better for your baby’s health – no-one can get away from the fact that disposable nappies contain chemicals. While the effects of these chemicals remain unproven, or at best unknown, surely it is better for your baby to be in cloth? We know that many chemicals can be absorbed into the body through the skin, and as a baby’s skin is so much thinner and more delicate, many parents are uncomfortable with the thoughts of putting chemicals so close to their skins. This may be of particular concern to you if you have a family history of asthma, eczema or allergies. The other point of concern is that disposable nappies increase the temperature around a baby boy’s genitals – this may potentially be enough to affect their future fertility as the male reproductive system develops during the first two years.
Cloth is more comfortable – this one is less easy to prove, but many cloth users with older babies/toddlers will tell you that their children prefer cloth nappies to the feel of a disposable. Ask yourself – did you enjoy the feel of the disposable knickers you wore after the birth of your baby? You put cloth on yourself, why not on your baby?
Cloth may help with toilet training – this is based upon anecdotal evidence, but toddlers in cloth nappies appear to be toilet trained earlier than those wearing disposable nappies. This may be because they become aware of when they have wet, as the moisture is not whisked away as quickly as by a disposable nappy.
Cloth is Cute!!! – Cloth nappies are soft and snugly, and look adorable. Its hard to get excited about a packet of disposable nappies, but cloth nappies are a fashion accessory! The downside to this is that addiction to cloth nappies is not unheard of… and can result in your credit card taking a bit of a hit… http://www.treehuggermums.co.uk/articles…

The main benefit to the baby is that they aren’t exposed to all the chemicals that are in disposable diapers. They also tend to potty train earlier, since that can actually feel the wetness on their skin.

*Cloth not only saves thousands of dollars over time (WOW!!), but can be reused for future children, then resold/given away for other babies’ use.
*Cloth also doesn’t contain dioxin, a toxic byproduct left in disposables from chlorine bleaching.
*Babies who use cloth diapers potty train earlier on average, since they can feel the wetness better.
*Some babies CANNOT handle disposables, and have rashes until they switch to cloth.
*With cloth, you never run out of diapers at 3 am! I love that convenience. It literally takes 5 extra minutes of every day to keep up with my cloth diapering. NOT a big deal.
I switched when my daughter was 14 months and haven’t looked back!!
**hey fifi, the article you posted “recommends buyers of reusable nappies wash them in bulk, wash at lower temperatures and air dry them rather than tumble drying.” Just wanted to let you know I do ALL those things.
