bumGenius 3.0 pocket diaper, $18. This is probably the least intimidating cloth diaper on the market. It claims to accommodate babies from 8-35 pounds with adjustable snaps, although realistically parents will find it starts to fit best around ten pounds. The inner pocket can be stuffed to varying thicknesses for heavy wetters and works well overnight. Dads and daycare providers will find this diaper to be easy and fuss-free. The bumGenius 3.0 pocket diaper comes in nine bright colors.
Cloth wipes, $16. Etsy is a great source for customizable cloth wipes, which can be tailored to Mom's favorite hues or nursery themes. Check out the cloth wipes featured here for more info.
Honey Chunks soap bits, $2. This sample pack has cubed bits of soap to be used to make diaper wipe solution. Dissolve one chunk per cup of boiling water, let it cool, and pour the mixture into a handy spray bottle. The samples include organic, sensitive, and regular Honey Chunks.
Small reusable wet bag, $7. A diaper bag must-have, even for parents who use disposables. This sturdy waterproof bag holds soiled diapers, clothes, and keeps the mess and smell separate from the rest of the bag. Larger sizes are available for use in the main diaper pail.
Cloth diapers have come so far since our grandparents used them! Treat your friends and relatives (or your own baby) to these products and feel good knowing that their babies' bottoms will be eco-friendly and even cuter than usual.
