Cloth Baby Diapers

There are two very distinct types of cloth baby diapers. There are the square diapers that need to be folded and attached with baby pins. The other type is the kind that comes with Velcro fasteners and they almost look like disposable diapers but they are not. They can be washed and reused just like other types of cloth diapers.

The Gerber cloth diapers are one of the most popular brands of the one size cloth diapers. These diapers can be folded to fit any baby size. There are two styles of this diaper. There is the square cloth diaper that is a thin piece of cloth that can be folded to fit the baby.

Gerber’s other type of diaper is the cloth diaper with padding that runs down the middle of it. This diaper also needs to be folded but offers more protection for older babies who make larger messes. The folding process for both of these diaper types is not hard to learn. It just takes a bit of practice to get the technique perfected.

The benefits of cloth diapering more than outweigh the time it will take to put them on. If there were a downside to the Gerber cloth diaper, it is that you will need cloth diaper covers to keep them from leaking. Again, these are washable so there is no major hassle from this. It is a minor inconvenience that many do not even consider when deciding on a cloth diaper.

If you simply feel as though you will never get the hang of folding and pinning diapers on your infant, then there is still an option for you. Kushies cloth diapers are form fitted and come with Velcro fastenings to allow for a perfect fit every time. You do not have to worry about messing with pins on a wiggly baby.

They do not require any cloth diaper covers either. They come with a cover built on to them. You can also adjust the padding to fit your baby’s needs. If they need more coverage in the front, you can place the padding there. The same goes with the back of the diaper.

While there seems to be many positives to the Kushies cloth diaper, there are a couple of down sides that may make the Gerber a better option. The Kushies may leak and some may feel more comfortable having an extra cover on them. Also, you can not use them for anything other than diapering babies as you can with the square diaper. You can use a square diaper as a burping cloth and for other things as well.

Your basic needs will determine the type of diaper that you will want to use on your baby. Some people will prefer the Gerber square cloth diaper and some people will prefer the fitted Kushies cloth diaper. Both diapers offer a quality of use for their own purposes. It is simple personal preference that will decide between these two brands and styles.
