Diaper Changes

We have been searching for the perfect diapers, we wanted the ease of a disposable but the earth-friendliness of a cloth. Finally we feel as though we have found them! They are called, funny enough, Best Bottoms. They were created by a women in New Glarus (just outside of Madison) and manufactured just outside of Chicago. So they are locally produced as well -that wasn't even on our list of requirements but it sure is nice!

We have 8 covers, which will grow with Liam all the way to potty training and 21 inserts. The inserts are made of polyester and cotton. Next to his bum is a fleece layer with a mid-layer that wicks the moist to the cotton layer (furthest from his bum but able to hold a lot of moisture). That way the wet cotton isn't against his bottom giving him a rash.

One of the best things about the diapers is that we can use disposable inserts instead of the cloth ones. So when we are away from home, say at a hotel in St. Louis or the beach in NC, they are a lot easier. We were also able to get some cute colors, maybe in the summer we won't need to wear shorts - just a shirt - to show them off!

Thanks to Mimi who got these for Liam as a gift - definitely something he will use over and over and over and over.....well you get the picture!
