Haley is now almost 7 months old and I’ve long since packed away the newborn cloth diapers. I thought about selling them – but Eric actually talked me out of it! Crazy – you would think he would want me to get rid of some. I don’t think he realizes he’s supporting my cloth diaper addiction! If you want to see what was in my stash and for lots of tips – you can look here, here, here, and here. Oh, and here’s a post I wrote for the Diaper Shops Blog.
Well, when we decide to have our third child, I’ll definitely be going through and weeding them out. I bought a large variety so I could try different things and there’s some in there that I ended up not caring for. So I’ll sell them and but more of what I did like. And I’ll just buy more in general. I had 36, but I still felt like I could have used another 6. There were some days where I was really cutting it close!
As of right now, here’s my take on the best newborn cloth diapers. Of course, things may change down the line – like new brands on the market!
The Best Newborn Cloth Diapers by according2jenny on Polyvore
1. bumGenius Newborn: These diapers gave me the best fit. They were trim and easy to put on. My only complaint is that they weren’t the most absorbant. I had 1 in my stash and I’ll definitely be getting a few more. They were the best to carry in the diaper bag though!
2. Tot Bots Tini Fit: These were the softest! Pretty absorbant, too. I loved the fit I got around the legs. My only draw back was that the “tongue” was hard to stuff back in.
3. Fuzzibunz XS: I loved these. The absorbency was great. I had one in snaps and one in aplix. The snaps were by far my favorite. The aplix tabs curled pretty quickly. Both were easy and quick to get on.
4. Bummis Prefolds: I used Green Mountain Diapers Prefolds and they were really good, but I’d like to add a few more and try out a different brand. I have some Bummis toddler sized prefolds and I like them, so I’m thinking their newborn ones are probably similar. Prefolds were my life saver. It was so nice to have a huge stack!
5. Covers: I wish I would have had more covers in general. The Rumparooz Newborn Cover was by far my favorite though. Plus, it fit for a long time. Way past when I packed up the newborn diapers. It got a lot of use.

I am a mom-to-be who has never used cloth diapers, but I am excited to try with this new baby. We have been missionaries for 2 years and have very limited income, so I am happy to try and save money by using cloth. This will be our 3rd child and quite a surprise/shock/blessing. lol!
I think a great way to help a mom to be is by not criticising the choices that she makes.
I’m due in May with my first and have been thinking really hard bout cloth diapering. I would love to win this to give it a good try!
my husband’s cousin uses cloth diapers for their son, I am interested in trying it out on my newborn
The best way to help a mom to be is to support her choices and help her educate herself about what options she has.
Great giveaway!
be there for the mom, listen, and not judge
I think the best way to help a mom is to be there for her if she asks help but not to try to tell her how to parent.
Baby #2 is due in March, and I’m determined to CD her. To help a mom to be, I think the best approach would be to support; not judge, criticize, or belittle. There is way too much competitive parenting going on for my likes.
I think the best way to help a new mom is make sure shes informed about the choices she makes. and not judge her and be there to offer advice if she wants it
I am a mom-to-be (due June 25!) who will be a cloth diaper newbie
I’ve started a small stash, but mostly one size diapers and haven’t found great deals on newborn sizes anywhere so I’ve put off buying them – how cool would it be to win some!!!!
When i was a new mom i appreciated all the honest advice i got. There is so much i didn’t know about and just talking to other moms with little ones was the best thing for me.
As a mom new to newborn cloth diapering some free diapers would be awesome!
I would support a mom to be by doing whatever she needed me too! Helping her to pick baby gear, making meals to freeze or letting her relax before baby comes are things I think would be helpful!
I would offer support by making meals or just being someone that totally gets it!
just being there for her, whetther it is help around the house or other support
I would help a mom-to-be by giving her these diapers since she has all OS diapers currently (she tends to have small babies).
I think the best way to support a mother or mother to be is to be supportive of her parenting choices and help out in anyway you can. babies need lots of attention and stuff
My sister is due in June and I want her to try cloth! No one else in my family does, and I think she feels a bit intimidated and is afraid of getting a newborn stash and not liking it. So this way she will be able to try it! =)
I try not to offer unsolicited advice. But I do try to listen and offer words of comfort as much as I can.
I would help a new mom by helping her to breastfeed
I would enjoy donating some cloth diapers to my local cd bank.
I would help a mom-to-be by offering to watch her new baby once it’s born for a little bit so she could shower, nap & relax.
I would bless a mom-to-be (my best friend) who is due in April by giving her these when I win them!!!
I had the great opportunity to help my friend who had a new born and could not care for her alone after her C section. I went and stayed a week with her. I got to be part of their first outing and learning how to manage a baby out of the house. She would tell you what I gave her was confidence. I didn’t know what I was doing, but I knew she could do it!
I always take new moms at least one meal and offer to help around the house and watch the baby so she can get a second to breath.
A great way to help a mom is to support her decisions and not give too much unsolicited advice! Plus, offering to babysit while she reconnects with her partner is a great way to help out too. I’d love to give some newborn diapers to a friend of mine who is expecting.
I love to help other new moms in any way I can! I love to talk to other new moms about breastfeeding and cloth diapering!
I want this for my friends who are adopting…due date feb 13!
I would give this to my sis who is due in April
My husband and I cloth diapered our second child and are trying again for #3. This time I would love to cloth diaper from the beginning.
Providing food, so she can concentrate on the little one and not have to cook!
My sister-in-law and I are due with our second children around the same time. We help each other out by providing support during our pregnancies.
making food s a great way to help her out
I would say a meal goes a LONG way!
I would honor her by taking over some food and offering to snuggle the little one while she naps.
this would be an amazing starter for my SIL who is TTC her first!!
by giving her support and help
Watch the little one so mom can sleep and do a little cleaning:)
by encouraging her to listen to, and trust her gut which is something that tends to be discouraged in this age of the parenting book. we are mothers, and we are powerful, intuitive creatures.
Bring meals, do dishes, vacuuming – all those things that would enable her to rest more!!
I send baby items that I win to the birth mom baskets group and they make baskets to send to the birth moms in our area that adopt out there kids, they get so little in return for a priceless gift
I would love the chance to win my sister is on her third and she has a three and two year old. She just got my niece potty trained but my nephew is not I know its going to be rough on money and she is not sure about cloth diapers. this would give her the oppurtunity to try them.
I am only 6 weeks along (and 3 days!) and I can’t wait to try cloth diapering!
Whenever a friend has a baby I like to pitch in and help with the errands/chores so they can have as much time with the babe as possible!
I think the best way to help a new mom is to be supportive of her decisions.
I agree the best thing for new mom is not to critic what she does. its her child not yours
By trying to reach out, make sure they have everything they need, and listen to any problems they have.
I would let her know that I would be more than happy to answer any questions she has about cloth diapers or breastfeeding. I would also make sure to drop off a freezer meal close to her due date so she has it when she needs it.
by offering her things that she really needs !
my cousin is expecting in the next few weeks. i want to send her as much baby items as possible to help her out
I have been looking into this as well for when we have our 2nd child. We didn’t start CDing until our first was 4 months old —and once we started I wish we had from the start —- so now the research begins on what is best for the itty bitty babe!
Due in three weeks with our second baby, but he’ll be our first in cloth diapers. Really excited to get started!
I would bring meals, or take her older children for the day!
Meals for her freezer….those were by far the most appreciated with #1!
I think a blessing of cloth diapers is an amazing gift. When my sister in law was expecting her second child, I gave her a wonderful bunch of cloth diapers to get her started. Now that I’m expecting again I would love cloth diapers as gifts.
Looking to CD next time around with my (god willing ) next baby. Cd ing my 9 month old and I love it but we didn’t do newborn stage cd! So much to learn now
I’d like to be able to pass along my cloth diapers (or even just a sampling to try out) once I’m done with it, but I typically do food: what I appreciated most was snacks: really tasty cupcakes, cookies, pre-cut fruits and veggies (lots of those!)
I have a friend who is do any day now, who is expacting her 4th child and switching to cloth diapers, this would be a blessing for her!!!
my daughter in law is due in june with our 2nd grandchild…she is an awesome mom and i give advice only when she asks!
A good friend of mine is struggling financially and is due to deliver soon, these would help her out so much!
my niece is recently pregnant and just found out her husband has been cheating on her and is leaving her so i have told her to come and live with me and my family so she won’t have to deal with all of this alone
I have a friend due in June. She is hesitant about cloth diapering. So, I hope by giving her something to start she will see how great it is.
make some food, gift her a large bottle of ‘baby blues’ tincture from wish garden herbs which was a goddess-send for me after my son was born, & stop by to talk & hold the baby so she can shower!
I am due with my first baby (a sweet little GIRL!) in May, and excited to try out cloth diapering! Thank you for the giveaway!!
