cloth diapers
I haven’t written much about the fact that we use cloth diapers. There were a lot of reasons for our choice to cloth diaper, but chief among them was Attison’s very sensitive skin. When she was a newborn she broke out in a rash until after we brought her home and started using cloth diapers. Since then she hasn’t had any problems at all.
For daytime we’re currently using Bumkins Organic Bamboo Fitted Diapers with the Bumkins diaper covers. We have also used Indian prefolds with Snappis and LiteWraps with good success.
At night we use Green Acre Designs Windpro fleece stuffable diapers. They’re the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. They’re fleece, and they don’t need a diaper cover! We “stuff” an Indian prefold in them for overnight absorbency, and we haven’t had any problems at all.
If you haven’t used cloth diapers in a while, or even in ages, take a quick look at those diaper links above. You’ll be amazed at how much cloth diapering has changed, even over the last 10 years or so.
So many cloth diapers today are akin to disposables, but of course they’re much better for our environment, and little ones with sensitive skin may find cloth diapers a better choice. Here’s a quote from the Costco website about Bumkins’ All-in-One cloth diaper:
Cloth diapering has never been easier with Bumkins’ All-In-One cloth diapers, providing the convenience of a disposable with the comfort of cloth.
The outer shell of the All-in-One diaper features Bumkins’ ultra-durable yet silky-soft waterproof fabric. Inside the diaper are 6 cozy layers of 100% cotton flannel, providing natural absorbency and comfort. Gentle elastic at the legs and waist minimizes leaks, and velcro® closures provide a quick and adjustable fit.
Each Bundle contains a delightful selection of 6 assorted print(prints will vary) All-In-One Diapers and 6 additional Cotton Inserts. Inserts can be layered inside the diapers to provide extra absorbency for naps or outings, each adding three more layers 100% cotton flannel, tailored to give maximum coverage.

These diapers are really amazing to me! I’m considering using an all-in-one (AIO) once Attison gets closer to potty training age. That’s a ways away, so I have plenty of time to consider all of the different choices for cloth diapers.
One of my favorite blogs is All About Cloth Diapers. Autumn Beck writes about the wide variety of cloth diapers available today. I’ve enjoyed her insights on this topic. Since Attison will be in cloth diapers for at least another year, I still have time to try out different diapering systems.
I’ll write about our diapering system, how I store clean diapers, how I wash them, and what I do with the dirty diapers in another post.
