All About Cloth Diapers

Please note that this is an old post For current newborn cloth diapering information please click the Newborn category. The most common question I get asked is in regards to cloth diapering a newborn. How many will I need? What size do I buy? What works best? For a more detailed answer refer to the [...]

The in-demand, “it” fabric in the diaper world is Bamboo. Bamboo is naturally anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. This porous fiber absorbs moisture and wicks it away from the skin, leaving baby cooler and drier than cotton or synthetic materials.
