Can disposable diapers cause infertility?

If a baby wears disposable diapers can wearing the disposable diapers cause infertility in the baby later on in their adult life?

I've heard that they can cause infertility in baby boys because of the diaper keeping the genitals warm.

Although many adults now that wore disposable diapers as a baby have been able to make babies.

So I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Disposable diapers and cloth diapers do not cause infertility.

Although the diapers can keep the baby's crotch warm it does not lead to fertility in baby's as they do not have the sperm that is fertile like adults would have.

So even if the diapers keep the baby's crotch warm there's no risk in the baby getting infertile as an adult when they wear disposable diapers or cloth diapers.
