Cloth Diaper Memory Lane – What cloth diapers did you use?
When Hawk was still in cloth diapers all day, I had transformed his pack-n-play into a changing station FULL of cloth diapers!
I would make sure, that when I would have people over, or I would take pictures, that all of my favorite cloth diapers were on top so that they could be seen. Yes, I wanted to show them off! What a better way to get people to ask about, and interested in, cloth diapers, than to show off the REALLY cute ones!
In this picture, he’s wearing a Jolly Bums (so is the bright yellow/green one). Sadly, they’re no longer around (I still have that diaper.. crazy?), but I can look in that basket and remember just about what all of them are and where they came from! (Hehe, I an’t believe I had so many BumGenius – the light green ones!) I also see a Little Rain Dancers (the red hibiscus), Cub Covers (the blue under the LRD), AngelLuvs custom top loader (olive green fleece at the top) and Happy Heinys (blue under the first (bottom) light green BG). If I remember correctly, Tina, from Sunshine Wishes made the Monkey fitted cloth diaper, but I am not 100% sure. That diaper was one of my VERY favorites! Soon after this picture, I fell in love with Little Boppers Cuddle Buns, and Little Bean Diapers, made by my good friend, Christi!
Do you have an elaborate set up for your cloth diapers? What were your favorite cloth diaper brands from the past? What are your favorite brands now, and do you tend to make sure they are seen when in public or when you have companies? Do you ever take pictures, to post on Facebook or elsewhere, and make sure just the right amount of the diaper is seen so that everyone knows that you cloth diaper your baby?
I started off with pockets.. WAHM made,Celtic Cloths, and some other I can’t remember the name of. Added a bunch of All in One’s and covers, FuzziBunz, Green Acre Bottoms, Magic-All’s, Swaddlebees and Daisy Doodle AIO’s. Even a few fitteds, though those didn’t last long.
Then I discovered Daisy Doodles All in Two’s, and I am in LOVE!! No velcro for the kiddo to pull off (like my WAHM, DD AIO’s, and a few others), a nice trim fit and the best part yet.. replaceable inners!! My stash currently has about 30 Daisy Doodle AI2’s, along with my old standby Swaddlebees and Magic-All’s for nighttimes with my super soaker 2 year old.
I take pictures all the time with my little CD babies. I love showing off their diaper butts and have had lots of people ask where I got such cute diapers. I try to pass around the Daisy Doodle name wherever I go because I love them SO much.. I even bought my own PUL from co-ops and had them made in to Daisy Doodles for me!
You know, I tried Daisy Doodles. One of my local friends introduced me. I think that’s all she used. My boys were always too chunky for the trimness of them. I think they’re a great design for trim diapers!
I love showing off my cloth diapers! I make most of mine though and have only bought a few and I love all that I have bought! I love the BG when they are converted to snaps( I think these are the 3.0) but every time I make or buy a new diaper the pic goes up on facebook for everyone to see! My poor little guy hardly wears pants since I love everyone seeing his fluff! I also love baby legs since they help show off the fluff!
I haven’t made any diapers in a long time! LOOONG time! I keep saying I’m going to enter the CDF contest/fundraiser! I guess I need to get my sewing machine out of storage!
I was just searching for Little Bean diapers made by Christi, and this post made me all nostalgic. When my last daughter, Amy, was born in 2006, I used Little Bean diapers almost exclusively and loved them SOOOO much. Now, I’m expecting baby #3, and it looks like Christi is no longer in the diaper business. I’m feeling kinda sad about it.
I can’t believe I just said my own kid was born in 2006 when she was born in 2005. Amy was a 2005 baby:)
I’ll have to tell Christi you said that! It will make her day! I <3 Little Bean, too! 🙂
