Size Cloth Diaper

Organic Diapers Come in Many Styles

How do organic diapers differ from standard cloth diapers? The simplest answer is that they are made from all organic materials such as pure, organic cotton, which is less likely to irritate a baby's sensitive skin and is an environmentally friendly choice.

Parents should take the time to make sure everything that goes into their baby or toddler is wholesome, pure and natural.  Choosing organic diapers means they can also rest easy knowing that what is touching their child's skin twenty-four hours a day is pure and organic.  Organic wool or cotton diapers are made from pure, unbleached cloth that hasn't been chemically treated.  No pesticides on the cotton plants to harsh chemicals on the wool; just the softest, most natural cloth possible.

It's easy to put your baby in organic diapers because they now come in a variety of shapes, styles and sizes.  The most basic style closely resembles the old style of diaper used by mothers a few generations back; thick in the middle with extra layers of material that had to be folded into shape and pinned into place.  Fortunately, you can now use these with organic diaper covers that use either snaps or Velcro to hold the diaper securely in place.  There are several other styles that combine convenience, superior fit and style that you may want to consider.  Some of the most common styles of organic diapers are outlined below.

All-In-One Organic Diapers are great if you like the ease and convenience of disposable diapers.  These are a diaper and cover all in one that can be snapped or Velcroed on with no trouble.  Some of these feature an absorbent cotton interior with an outer cover of wool for added cushioning.  You wash the entire diaper, including the attached cover.  Although they take a bit longer to dry and may be harder to clean, these are great if you're looking for a transition from disposables to organic diapers.

Fitted Organic Diapers look like disposables because they are shaped to fit the natural shape of a baby or toddler.  They often have soft, comfortable gathers around the leg openings for a leak-free fit and added comfort.  These do require a separate diaper cover, but they are easier to wash and dry and are versatile enough to be used as your child grows older.

One-Size Organic Diapers give you exceptional cost savings because they can be adjusted to fit your child from infancy into his or her toddler years.  You'll need to buy far fewer diapers, which is always a plus for the environment.  You can use diaper doublers or liners as your child grows older to improve the absorbability of one-size diapers.  Most one-size diapers feature a series of snaps or adjustable Velcro so you can resize the diaper to fit perfectly.

The name Pre-fold Diapers is a bit misleading.  They are basically rectangles of material much like what were used generations ago. The “pre-fold” refers to the fact that there is more material in the center third of the diaper, making it more absorbent.  Although these aren't quite as fitted as others, they are very comfortable when used with a diaper cover and are the most economical kind of organic diapers you can find.

Pocket Diapers have a nice, trim fit because they come in several styles.  They do need to be washed with every use, but they don't need a separate diaper cover.  The beauty of these is that you can tuck a pre-fold diaper or cloth liner into the interior pocket to increase absorbency if your child tends to soak through his or her diapers.  Some of the nicest pocket organic diapers feature a pocket of super-soft fleece.  The fleece is the only thing touching your baby's skin, as the pocket is made of fleece and moisture is wicked through it and into the cotton or wool insert.  

If you want to protect your baby's delicate skin and are looking for a convenient, economical solution to the diapering dilemma, organic diapers are the perfect choice.

Cloth diapers or Pull Ups? My daughter wears size 7 diapers and has outgrown them and she is only 10 months ?

old. I don't know what to try next. She weighs 27 lbs but she is to young to potty train.

My daughter is 9 months, and weighs about 25 lbs - she was exclusively breastfed for 6 months, and got a little chunky on breast milk. She wears 12-18 month sized clothes. She's growing out of the 12 months clothes because of her lenght. She is perfectly healthy.

We use cloth diapers - a combination of fuzzibunz (Size Medium), prefolds with covers, (infant prefolds with medium sized covers) and bamboozle diapers for nighttime (large size cover). They work well for her. We love our cloth diapers - they are easy to use and to clean (no bleach needed) The size large FuzziBunz fit form 25 lbs to approx 45 lbs, so I'm sure that these will fit your daughter. I included a link with a size chart for you to check out.

As for potty training - she may not be too young. We started infant potty training at 5 months with my daughter. At every diaper change, we sit her on the potty. She now pretty much exclusively poops in the potty, and mostly pees in the potty during the day. Of course we have to assist her, but that's what mommy's do - they help their child learn new skills. We also make sure to offer her potty time right when she wakes up, before and after meals, and anytime we hear her fart *laugh* I've included a few links for you to check out out.
