Blog Bash 2011 All About Baby *and Mama too*! Sponsor Spotlight: Green Child Creations!!

Since we are on the topic of Etsy (and how much I have fallen in love with all the hand-made fluffy goodness offered on that site), I thought I'd bring you another great Etsy Artist! Green Child Creations! Anne, of green child creations sent me a one size diaper for review. This is what I received:

This diaper is so cute! I was in luck too, because Anne had just starting making these great diapers with snaps!! The flap you see is designed to be tucked into the pocket opening:

Or you can simply lay it on top:

I really love that this diaper is a pocket diaper, and that you have the option of adding an extra insert for extra absorbency! I also love that it has snaps :) This diaper is very well made and is a great quality diaper!
Here is this diaper on my 1 yo son!

The diaper (as pictured above) has an additional micro fiber insert in it. Without the insert this diaper is very trim. The boys were getting ready for nap time, so I decided to double stuff it :)
This diaper is not water proofed and therefore needs a cover of some sort. I chose wool!
This diaper is great. We did not experience any leaks with this diaper. My son LOVES it! He keeps looking down saying Dog, Dog!!
Anne's diaper prints are adorable!
Here are a few items currently listed in her shop!

cotton twill os diaper $12.00

os flannel fitted diaper $10.00

os flannel fitted diaper $10.00
Oh, did I also mention she makes really stinkin' cute diaper covers?
Here are a few that are currently listed:

Cow

Dinosaur

Frog

Pig
These diaper covers are made of a fleece outer, and PUL inner!
Love these!!
Do you as well? You can purchase a diaper cover from Green Child Creations for $25.00.

Blog Bash 2011 All About Baby *and Mama too*! Sponsor Spotlight: KC Babies!!

So my love for Etsy continues! One particular shop I found (and fell in love with) is KC Babies! Sara from KC Babies sent me a set of cloth wipes to review!
This is what I received:

These wipes are made of flannel and are really soft! I just love that Batman print don't you!
The wipes are not double layer wipes or double sided so they are pretty thin. But that didn't seem to effect the way they cleaned up the messiest of bums!
Besides cloth wipes, KC Babies also sells
Burp cloths

Car seat canopies

receiving and swaddle blankets, and (my favorite)...
fitted flannel crib sheet:

You can purchase a 6-pack of flannel wipes from KC Babies Etsy shop for $4.00... that's a great deal!

Many of you are familiar with Oh Katy cloth diapers, which until recently were known as "Katydid"

I received an Oh Katy one size pocket diaper in Green Apple! This is what I received:

Blog Bash 2011 All About Baby *and Mama too*! Sponsor Spotlight: Doable Diapers!!

Many of you know how much I can't live without, fall head over heels for, LOVE my Fuzzi Bunz diapers!! Andrea, over at Doable Diapers generously sent me a Fuzzi Bunz one size Hemp diaper for review!
This is what I received:

The Fuzzi Bunz hemp diaper is the same diaper as the regular Fuzzi Bunz one size diaper, but with a hemp insert. As with all Fuzzi Bunz one size diapers, this one came with an extra set of elastic (and a beautiful Hemp insert):

As I've stated before, hemp has to be prepped before it is fully absorbent. To do this, you need to wash your hemp (separate from other materials cotton etc.) about 4 or 5 times. The hemp needs to be washed in hot water and dried on a high heat setting. I have heard that you can also boil hemp to prep it, but I've never personally done that!
I love this diaper.
Just today I realized that the perfect size small diapers that I've been primarily using on my 17 month old son are too small. When I went to change his diaper he had red marks on his legs. So now I will be switching over to my one size stash! This diaper came at just the right time! *thanks Andrea*
Here is this diaper on my 1 year old:

This diaper is so awesome... not just because its a Fuzzi Bunz <3 but because its a one size diaper (which will fit a baby from 7-35 pounds), but its also a pocket diaper. So ideally you can stuff this diaper with whatever material (microfiber, hemp, little/bigger weeds) you need to keep your baby dry!
The Fuzzi Bunz Hemp diapers were a trial run (as Andrea pointed out to me) and they are going to be discontinued)! The hemp inserts will still be available though :) You can buy the inserts for about $15.00 per 3 pack!
I did find a few more listed for sale on-line though, so if you are wanting to buy this diaper, you'd better act fast!
But that's not all...

All About Baby *and Mama too* Blog Bash Sponsor Spotlight: Sloomb/Sustainablebabyish!!

I have to admit, I really, really, really LOVE wool! I love that I can put my boys down to bed in a fitted diaper with a wool cover and rest assured that they will wake up happy and dry in the morning!
I recently reviewed a knit wool cover from Sloomb (aka Sustainablelabyish). You can read that review here!
Erin, at Sloomb sent me a size XL organic bamboo fleece fitted diaper, and a pair of knit wool longies in peacoat for review.
This is what I received:

I LOVE these longies, and the fitted diaper too! I accidentally ordered the wrong size fitted diaper, so I had to return it for an exchange (which was hassle-free by the way)! So for the purpose of this review, I will be reviewing the Sloomb organic bamboo fleece fitted diaper that I already owned!
Here it is:

This is the same diaper as the one I received for review, the only difference is the size. I ordered an XL and the one pictured above is a large!
The organic bamboo fleece fitted diaper comes in 3 parts:

The diaper itself (middle) a snap-n soaker (left) and a 3-layer bamboo fleece doubler (right)!
The snap-in soaker is so easy to use... simply snap it onto the diaper:

The 3-layer bamboo fleece doubler can be laid on top of the snap in soaker for added absorbency:

I like to fold the doubler in half and place it near the front of the diaper... after all, I do have boys:

This diaper is ready to be put on your baby!
Once the diaper is on, it will need a cover of some sort because it is not waterproofed!
I used the size large fitted diaper on my 1 yo son:

Paired with the knit longies (pictured above):

*as you can see they are a bit long on him... but isn't he just so stinkin' cute??

What an awesome pair! The knit longies are so super soft and they really wear well and wash up great! In fact, after washing and lanolizing them and letting them dry, they felt as if they were brand new.... so soft! Not sure how to prep your wool before use? No worries! Sloomb's website and Facebook page is choc-full of information regarding how to care for your wool! HERE is a tutorial from the Sloomb website detailing how to lanolize sustainablebabyish wool! You can find a bunch of other great tutorials HERE (including how to use their snapless multi fitted cloth diaper)!
I love knowing that this soft wool is against my baby's skin at night!
I must admit that the fitted diapers and wool covers by Sloomb are perfectly perfect!
They make such an awesome overnight cloth diapering solution for us.
