What do you think of the new Bum Genius Freetime?

autumnbeck

I love the fit, colors and price but lately Camden has been soaking them! I think a lot of it is my fault by not changing him frequently enough. Usually I put one on first thing in the morning and that's when he does some major peeing lol

I can't say they are the perfect AIO but they are in my top 3.

I really like this new all-in-one! I have had great luck avoiding leaks with this diaper. It is the only all-in-one that I have tried but I love it. It makes me want to try more all-in-ones.

AIOs are so nice! I love the convenience.

We are definitely looking to use AIOs since little man will be going to daycare and I don't think they'll be too keen on anything else (we still have yet to see if they'll be on board with us on CDing). I registered for these, but left room in my "planned stash" for other choices. We have a store nearby that I want to check out (Soft and Cozy Baby in Baltimore) and see what they have.

There are so many great AIOs out right now. Ones & Twos are easy and affordable.

I really like the Freetime although I only own one. It's my husbands favorite right now. They seem to be pretty absorbent & I've heard that the happy hemp oval boosters fit nicely in the little flap slots. I might have to give that a try. Love the colors, just need to get my hands in an Albert!

I bought one for my niece for her first birthday in the Albert print. Love the print, but seemed to fade a little after the first wash - still looks cute though. I washed it before I even brought it over to her so she could wear it right away. The dry time in the dryer wasn't bad for an AIO since it has those two flaps that fold out.

It seemed pretty trim (she's 18 lbs and very skinny for her height) and fit very nicely. She only peed in it, but no leaks and we hadn't used any extra stuffing in it. I only got to see her use it once, but it seemed to do the job. I'd like to get some myself.

Is anyone having trouble with leaks with the Freetimes? I loved them up until a week ago when I noticed leaks at night and now during the day too. I'm relatively new to cloth diapers, so I'm wondering if I need to strip them? I bought some blue Dawn today to see if stripping them helps. Suggestions?

autumnbeck

Are you adding anything to them for nighttime absorbency? They aren't really suitable for nighttime use unless you have a baby that only pees maybe twice a night. You could easily add a couple of Hemp Babies doublers to help with absorbency.

I just started adding doublers (gdiapers cloth and thirsties doublers) and that seems to be helping. I stripped them today in the machine - added a squirt of Dawn with a sanitize cycle and did an extra wash with no detergent and a few rinse cycles. We'll see how things go tonight. There's no more ammonia smell, though, so that's a good sign!

I won a bumgenius freetime in a drawing and I love it for night on my 5 month old. Maybe she's not a heavy wetter but it seems to work really nicely. I think it's a little bulky compared to my pocket diapers which is why I mainly use it at night.

Howdy, Stranger!
