There may be a misconception floating around out there. Yes, one sized cloth diapers will fit your child from ~10lbs-35lbs. Yes, one sized cloth diapers are the best option for families cloth diapering more than one child. Yes, one sized cloth diapers are the more economical route.

Tiny Tush Elite Now Has Prints!

July 22, 2011

I love prints. But, I’m picky. Aren’t we all? I could list a million things I don’t like but it’s hard to put my finger on what I do like. This probably explains why I don’t own many prints.  I think I have 5. That’s nothing when you look at all that I own. Charlene, [...]

Sure there are times when the problems get so bad (rashes, yeast, buildup, ammonia, leaks…) you want to scream.  But, at least you could opt for a disposable.
