Still--despite the fact that all my interactions with other bloggers have been positive, I was surprised when Melissa, another mom-blogger, commented on my discussion for the One Small Change project with an extremely generous offer. I had written about how I wanted to stop using disposable sleeping diapers for my girls (and the cloth ones we had weren't cutting it for long periods of sleep) but felt conflicted about buying more cloth diapers when my youngest is already a toddler. Melissa said she could spare some diapers because she didn't need as many as she had for her daughter.
A couple of weeks later, a package arrived at our door containing a huge stack of Fuzzibunz and other pocket diapers, along with a huge stack of various types of liners (stuffers? not even sure what they're called). We were thrilled! I'm happy to say that I haven't bought Bojey a single disposable sleeping diaper since the last package ran out (literally the day the box arrived at our door.) Here are some of the darling diapers hanging on the line:
And here's the darling Bojey wearing one of them:
This is my first experience with pocket diapers, and I LOVE them. I've always used cotton prefolds with covers because I used a diaper service in California when I was teaching, and that's what they used. When we moved, I still had all my covers, so I just bought (and inherited) cotton prefolds. If I were to recommend diapers to a new mom, I now think I might recommend pocket diapers, or perhaps a combination of pockets and prefolds. They are so soft, and they keep Bojey so dry and comfy for sleeping. I have to admit that the cuteness factor comes into play as well...So thank you, Melissa!

I'm always amazed at the generosity of bloggers! I'd love to hear how these work out for you for nighttime diapering...
You are so sweet! I am so happy they work for you! I just couldn't bare the thought of you buying more cloth when your chicks are so close to not needing any. And disposables, well as one cloth diapering mama to another I knew how you must have been feeling with every one used.
So far as I know, the inserts are called just that...inserts. The ones I sent you were microfibre. And hemp? Did I send you some hemp ones, I forget now.
Pockets are an awesome diapering system, they wash well, wear well (especially being adjustable) and dry super quick.
Glad you are getting just what you needed from them!
