All those options are confusing, do I need all the extras? TOP
Not at all! The basic diaper will work just
fine. Fleece is used to keep little bums dry, and hemp is used when you
need a lot of extra absorbency, like night time, nap time and outings
for example. Please remember that diapers should be changed as soon as
possible.
Can I wash all the diapers together or will they bleed? TOP
The PUL fabrics are color fast and will not run or bleed. You can wash all the diapers together.
How many diapers will I need? TOP
That depends on how many days you want to
go without washing. Newborns go through around a dozen diaper changes
per day. Older babies require changing less frequently. I usually
recommend a handful of AIOs in size small, because they are in them the
shortest amount of time. You may want to consider prefolds and covers
for the first few weeks because they are the most economical choice.
Generally, babies will wear size medium and/or large for the longest
period of time.
Will the AIOs work for night time? TOP
They
should hold up overnight with a hemp doubler or two, but you will need
to have a good fit. The pocket diapers work well for night time because
you can customize absorbency by adding as much additional absorbent
material as you may need.
What size should I get? TOP
If you are unsure of which size to get, compare your baby's measurements to the diaper measurements. Some babies will fall in between two sizes. Since babies come in all shapes, the most accurate way of determining the best fit is to try the diaper(s) on your baby.
