WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) -- It's a growing debate among parents: what diapers to use on their babies. Disposables are convenient and tend to be more absorbent. Cloth can be better for a baby's skin and an alternative for folks who want to be green. That factor in choosing cloth is creating a lot of buzz and even creating a new business opportunity.

"The average newborn goes through 70 diapers a week," said Liz Soffera, owner of Green Baby Diaper Service in Wilmington. We'll do all the washing, provide you with all the diapers for $22.50 a week for delivery, or you can bring them into the store for four dollars less a week."

Some studies, though, suggest that cloth is not as green as some may like to think.

Coming up on WWAY NewsChannel 3 at 6 p.m., we'll take a deeper look into the diaper debate to see what factors parents have to consider.
