Is changing a cloth diaper different than changing a disposable? 

Well, yes and no.  But don't worry, changing a cloth diaper isn't hard by any means, it's just a tad different.  

First with disposables, you generally place the diaper under baby's bum and then wrap the tabs around and stick them to the front.  (Sometimes, my disposable diaper tabs would rip when I did this, but I digress).

If you're wondering what kind or style of cloth diaper to choose for your cloth diapering adventure, you're not alone. Everyone who's interested in cloth diapers asks themselves this question at some point and of course there are lots of different diapers to choose from.

But today let's focus on pockets. Here's 5 reasons why a pocket diaper might be the right choice for your baby and your family.

How do you try cloth diapers on your baby for fit without compromising their cleanliness in case you have to return them? Here are some tips:

#1) Check the weight range before you buy - All of our products have a manufacturer suggested weight range in the product description.  Make sure that your baby fits within that range for the cloth diaper you're considering purchasing.  If baby is within the weight range, then fit won't be an issue most of the time. 

Sometimes travelling with babies, toddlers or bigger kids seems like a ton of effort and if you have a baby or two in cloth it's one more thing to pack.

Here's some quick tips that helped me to make taking your diapers along the simplest part of your packing.

#1) PACK NATURAL FABRICS
Pack your bamboo, cotton, and hemp, and leave the microfibre at home (or take it only or layering with natural fabrics). Microfibre can be prone to compression leaking in carseats and baby carriers especially if you go a little longer than usual between changes and the inserts are very saturated.

Let's be honest, blowouts are a lot less common when babies wear cloth diapers compared to when they wear disposables.  But 💩 happens and sometimes it happens in a BIG way. This is a new parent's worst nightmare and no one wants to be stuck dealing with a smelly, uncomfortable mess, especially in public. If this is you, you're not alone and there are lots of ways to at least make a 'poo-splosion' less catastrophic. So what can you do to keep it contained in even the most extreme circumstances? 

First, know your enemy.  What causes a diaper blowout in the first place?

Use one hand to hold the diaper together while you secure the Snappi with your right hand.  Secure the Snappi to the fabric on one hip, then stretch it over to grab the fabric near the other hip.  Now take the bottom of the T and secure it to the fabric between baby's legs like you see in the photo here.
