To advance Cloth Diaper my baby was a decision I made even before I was pregnant. I did a lot of reading on cloth diapers and came across Superbottoms through Facebook ads. Firstly I fell in love with the prints more than anything else. I knew their product categories, prep routine, fit and even a bit of trouble shooting by heart. All that was left was to get pregnant and get the cutie out to flaunt the diapers. To be honest, I did have a mixed newborn stash from a few US and UK brands along with the Superbottoms Newborn covers stash. With Superbottoms, the soakers were ready to go with 5 washes and the others were still repelling water. I stopped preppping them and bought another newborn starter back from SB. I didn’t want to use the diapers in the meconium phase and D started pooping 8-9 times a day from the 11th day onwards. I was using CD only for diaper free time during that time.
I started to exclusively cloth diaper D with SB from when he was 2.5 months old. I was in Ooty at the time and the weather was very unpredictable but I continued with 6 newborn covers and 6 soakers. The first time D wore the SB, it leaked after one pee. My cousin who is also a cd’ing mom helped me with the fit and I haven’t faced a leak ever since. I was very reluctant to use an AIO* considering the tedious wash routine. At 120 days roughly, D was outgrowing the newborn covers. It was getting tight at the leg crease (he’s a tall baby) and I bought the one size covers. I was still using 2 disposables at night. That’s when team SB launched the UNO, a one prep all-nighter with a detachable soaker 😵. I bought my first UNO and put it on D one night. It lasted a whole 14 hours. I was beyond thrilled and bought a couple more. Now I am an exclusively CD’ing SB mom. I use CD’s even for outings and that’s when wetbags come into the picture. They’re water and smell proof bags to hold your soiled diapers. Wetbags are very versatile, if u have 2 or more of them you can use one for fresh diapers, one for the soiled ones and the other for just about anything. As of now my stash has 3 covers and 12 UNO’s (I bought a few just for the adorable prints). I want to add a couple more covers because I’ve come to realise that covers are the best. For daytime diapering, for diaper free time ( just put a normal cloth nappy inside the cover so that the pee doesn’t soil the clothes), for mix and match of inserts, homemade flats and pre folds and unless the cover gets wet (rare) I reuse it alternatively with the other covers. So yaay for covers and yay yay yay for UNO at night and longer durations. Also, fleece liners are a great option for babies who poop frequently. It leaves no stain and cleaning is much easier compared to cotton inserts. Apart from diapers, SB also make training pants, wetbags, backpacks (diaper bag), sling bags, diaper changing mats, bibs for babies and toddlers and adorable mini diaper keychains.
I am a very happy Superbottoms & an eco-friendly mom. This is one way of giving back to the environment I guess. About the cost, you only need to spend 50% that of disposables and plus, u can reuse them for a second baby if maintained well. That’s the reason behind mom’s buying used diapers to try before investing in new ones. The satisfaction is immense. To top it all, the customer service/helpline team is absolutely the best. SB is founded and run by mum’s & are always ready to help, not only with CD’s but everything you’ll need wrt parenting ❤️
A few tips for those of you wanting to make the shift:
- Buy one diaper or maybe a starter pack and use it before building a stash. There is a small learning curve & once you hit it, there’s no looking back.
- The advantage with SB is that you can wash the diapers in the washing machine along with your regular laundry if you follow their wash routine correctly. .
-Invest in covers! Unless you use it, you won’t know that they’re god sent.
