My kids have never known anything but cloth diapers.
My husband and I have officially changed cloth diapers for approximately 925 days straight. Wait a sec. Back up. Say what??!
Can hardly believe this little guy just passed the eight month mark!
I know I know. That’s tons of poo. Yes, yes it is. I guess that makes me semi-expert on the subject, or at least I’m gonna give it a go today since the two of us have learned a thing or two about quality, wear, laundering, and best-practice tips to make cloth diapering work. Since we’ve now wrapped two newborn bums in fluff, I know which diapers to avoid and which brand to recommend to other parents.
These are my favorite newborn cloth diapers.
These diapers are simply the best newborn cloth diapers, the ones that are built to last, keep even the worst blowouts from actually blowing out, and fit small tushies best. If you want to know how many you’ll need, check out this post. The number you use may vary, however, depending on how often you want to launder cloth diapers. Learn how to use each type of cloth diaper here.
Thirsties Diaper Covers in XS Double gussets keep even the runniest poo under wraps.
Bummis Super Whisper Wrap Cover Extremely durable.
Cotton Prefold Diapers Save cash and choose the 12.5×13.5″ infant size prefolds. Here’s why.
Fitted diapers Nighttime changes made easier. Mine are mom-made and hard to find, but Kissaluvs (pictured) makes a very well-loved fitted diaper I can’t wait to try with my next child, God willing!
Very Baby All-in-Ones *It looks like they now only sell diaper fabric and patterns, not pre-made CDs. Rumparooz Lil Joeys (pictured) is another highly recommended newborn all-in-one, though I don’t have any personal experience with it.
Sunbaby One-Size Diapers Of all my one-size diapers, these fit first. They’re trim and slim-cut to fit snugly over even week-old legs.

We cloth diaper too! We use Grovia (and we love them)! No leaks and no blow outs. I also use my own cloth wipes.
Great stuff! I love cloth diapering (I line dry mine too… on mild days that is).
Wishing you a lovely day.

You know, Jennifer, I’ve never tried Grovia. They just weren’t in the “discount” section when I was buying my diapers a few years ago. It’s great to know you love ’em, so if I ever need to add more to our stash I’ll feel confident purchasing them. We also use cloth wipes. I actually posted about it here ages ago. My mother just stitched up a few dozen from flannel, and to tell you the truth, I like using baby washcloths just as well. With our first child we were drowned in gifts of baby washcloths and if I had planned well, I’d have never needed to “order” wipes from my seamstress mama at all 😉
Oh my goodness! That’s exactly what my “wipes” are is baby washcloths! exact same as you… we received oodles of them so I make a solution that I wet them with and use them as bum wipes. You now what they say about great minds 😉

Cloth diapers have come such a long way! What I love about cloth diapers: you know what they’re made of and not as much as a harsh impact on the environment.
I was shocked to learn some of the ingredients in regular diapers 🙁
Thankfully, if you’re going to use diapers vs. cloth there are better alternatives out there than the big box names.
Agreed, Tiffany! In fact, once or twice we’ve had to resort to disposables in instances of severe rash and always hunt down the “green” alternatives to the bigger brands. Of course, as soon as I can, I always start back with cloth, which is much more eco-friendly and just downright cheaper in the long run. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Wow! that’s awesome! We never did newborn cloth, I didn’t want to bother buying extra diapers that would only work for a couple weeks since we were only planning on having 2 kids. It also gave me time to adjust to the baby before getting into all the laundry (my hubby never got much paternity leave) They are just so cute though! I think newborn cloth is darling!
Hey, nice artIcle.These cloth diapers really fit on well. It avoids diaper rashes, reduces the odor, etc
Great stuff! I love cloth diapering
