GDiapers New Baby Bundle

A few years ago when I was pregnant I wrote an email to gDiapers asking if they were ever going to make a diapering option for babies smaller than 8lbs, and got this reply:


Thank you for your email!  While we would love to offer a size for newborns smaller than 8lbs, we simply aren’t ready to take it on.  We have only been on the shelves for a little less than 2 years and don’t yet offer as many sizes as we’d like.  You may want to have another diaper option on hand for those first few pounds, but babies grow so quickly!  I’m sure the small will fit before you know it :0)

Well it looks like gDiapers has finally grown large enough to offer diapers for wee babies. The tiny gPants are designed for babies who weigh between 6 and 10 pounds. They are more like the snap in liners used on the other covers, and have words that start with g all over them. The covers fasten in the back with Velcro. There are also snaps in the front to protect tender umbilical cords.

It's nice to know that a cloth diapering company realizes that not everyone has big babies. Some of us still have tiny babies and now there is a diapering system for them. 

The New Baby Bundle contains a dozen tiny gPants cover, 6 little gPants, and a case of small gRefills (160 liners).  $149.99

gCloth

gDiapers has finally come out with a cloth insert for their popular pocket diapers. The gCloth insert is designed to fit into the cover without folding, cutting down on bulk. The diapers are made of two layers of polyester microfleece and two layers of hemp/cotton blend.

gDiapers is really trying to be the perfect, ecofriendly diapers for modern parents. Parents can now use the washable insert at home, and the flushable insert while out and about.

Six inserts will set you back $29.99 ,and come in size small and medium/large.

AppleCheeks Cloth Diapers

Cloth diapering has come a long way, so don't be afraid to give them a try. AppleCheeks is a Canadian brand of pocket diapers known for a trim fit (really important when your baby starts moving around). The waterproof outer cover is made of breathable, waterproof polyurethane laminated polyester lined with soft micro fleece, and come in a range of happy, bright colors. The covers come in just two sizes, but adjust to fit a range of sizes by means of two rows of snaps. The size one diaper cover will fit a baby 7-20lbs, while a size 2 will fit a tot 18-40lbs. The pocket opening is wide enough to fit even the largest hand. AppleCheeks sells a variety of liners made of bamboo or hemp.


An AppleCheeks envelope cover will set you back $18. But after what seems like a large initial inlay, you are pretty much done purchasing diapers. If you buy disposables you have to keep going back to the store to buy more for at least a couple of years.
