For those thinking about entering the world of cloth diapering - Beware - figuring out which dipes work for you is exhausting. I currently have 12 Fuzzibuns and 2 GoodMamas (GM). My Fuzzibuns are waterproof and my GoodMamas are not. My Fuzzibuns are pocket diapers and my GoodMamas are fitted diapers.
What's the point of a fitted diaper if it isn't waterproof?!? Twice I've had my son sitting on my lap in his adorable Goodmama and urine escapes his leg hole and drips down my leg. This is probably due to a poor fit as the Bobbin' weighs only 10 lbs and GMs are made to fit babies until they grow out of the diaper stage. But even when a fitted diaper fits properly, the exterior dampens when wet so you need to put a waterproof shell over the diaper or simply dress your baby in a diaper and shirt.
By the way, have I mentioned just how adorable fitted diapers are? Fitted diapers are typically made by stay-at-home moms' and are constructed of beautiful fabrics that are snuggly soft and adorable to look at. My two GMs have boyish prints - one called Galactic Fantastic with spaceships on it and the other with a Dr. Seuss print from One Fish, Two Fish. So why would anyone ever put a shell over these cute little dipes?! My sister-in-law has advised me that fitted diapers are to be worn with little leg warmers and tee shirts. When the tee shirt, fitted dipe, and leg warmers are put together they make a darling ensemble. Too cute! So in summary, you wear fitted diapers to enjoy how sweet your little babe looks in them AND to help your baby learn when they've gone to the bathroom -- this is especially helpful down the road when you begin potty training!
