Newborn Diapering: Why Choose a Newborn Cloth Diaper Instead a One-Size

A newborn baby is a little bundle of delight. But that’s the thing. They are so little. Newborns can weigh from under 3 kgs to a little over 5 kgs. That makes them delightfully small but also a challenge to diaper. While cloth diapers are infinitely safer and easier to use on newborns, chances are you’re wondering whether you need newborn cloth diapers or one-size diapers will fit the bill.   Well, here are 7 reasons to choose a newborn diaper for your little bundle of joy:  

• The Best Fit

Newborn cloth diapers are best suited for small babies and offer the best and most comfortable fit.

• Sized Small

Newborn cloth diapers are sized small and may also fit your preemie or low birthweight baby easily.

• Reuse With Ease

Newborn diapers can be reused later if you’re planning additional babies.

• All-In-One Diapers

The bumGenius newborn cloth diapers are all-in-one diapers that make cloth diapering easy and stress-free. No stuffing, diaper cover or folding needed.

• Soft, Gentle Fit

The stretchy tabs, hook and loop closures ensure that baby has a perfect fit each time. Plus the leg and back casings are so gentle that they wouldn’t chafe baby’s sensitive skin.

• Super-Absorbent

bumGenius newborn diapers have soakers that are made of exclusive Cotton Babies terry which means that not only are they super-absorbent but are also quick to dry, keeping baby comfy and rash-free.

• Just Right for Newborn Weight

bumGenius newborn diapers fit babies weighing under 3 kgs to 6 kgs and fit below the navel, keeping the umbilical stump dry. So, are you ready to start using newborn diapers for your little one? Want to know more?

Here’s a customer review describing how cost-effective and cute these newborn diapers are:

Manidipa Mandal Date Added: 12/15/2012 Love the cute, trim size and happy colours --- I got Sassy (dark bright orange) and Dazzle (purple) for my baby. Just got a couple because they aren't the cheapest solution for a newborn --- I'm not yet sure how long they'll work (hoping about a couple of months, after which the one-size diapers should fit? or will the absorption of this be outgrown before the size is?). But NO CONTEST vs using tons of disposables in the early poopy days -- it makes one sick to see so much waste, no pun intended! In fact, I'd buy a dozen if I planned to have more children --- since they won't be used for long and the quality looks great, I'm betting you could use these for two or three children, which would then make the cost far more economical.

How to Choose the Best Cloth Diaper for Every Stage of Baby’s Development

One of the great things about cloth diapers is that you can find one to suit a baby, regardless of their age or stage of development. That is right, whether you have a newborn or a crawler or a soon-to-be potty trained toddler, you can be sure you’ll find a cloth diaper that is best for baby’s stage of development. Here is how to choose the best cloth diaper for various developmental stages:

Cloth Diapers For Newborn Babies

You can start using cloth diapers for your baby right from Day One. That’s right, newborn cloth diapers are sized small and fit baby comfortably and snugly. They also keep baby dry and don’t cause painful rashes. The best part about newborn diapers is that you can reuse them at larger settings as baby grows and till baby is ready to move on to the next diapering stage. However, keep a watch to see if baby’s diapers start leaking more often or are fuller quickly because as baby grows , the diaper may still fit but it wouldn’t be as functional.

The newborn diapers from bumGenius have Hook and Loops closures which stretch for a perfect fit from 6 to 12 kgs. They are easy to use all in one diapers which means no extra inserts to deal with.

Recommended diapering solution: BumGenius Newborn one size all in one cloth diaper

Cloth Diapering Crawlers and Walkers

Crawlers and walkers can choose from a range of cloth diapering options, including all-in-ones and pocket cloth diapers, such as the bumGenius and Flip, that are not only easy-to-use but also practical and super absorbent. Plus, they are sized to fit babies weighing 7-35 kgs. Also, since these diapers are one-size diapers, you will be able to use them until your little one is ready to be potty trained.

These diapers also give you a choice to have stay-dry or organic inserts or lining as well as choice of closures- Hook and Loop or Snap closures.

Recommended diapering solution: We recommend Stay-dry diapers for younger babies and for moms who like their baby to be dry and comfortable. For older babies, organic is a great option to help in early potty training as baby will feel the wetness and sensation of doing potty. Available in both bumGenius and Flip diapers. We recommend Hook and Loop for parents looking for a quick and easy diaper change and we recommend snaps for active babies that need a more secure fit.
