We’ve all heard about the benefits of using cloth diapers compared to chemical-covered disposables, but how do you change them? You might be surprised to find that cloth diapers aren’t very different thanks to recent design improvements. Don’t believe me? Check

out this great “how to” video and let me know what you think.

Are you considering using cloth diapers, or does the thought of dirty diapers in your laundry keep you from making the switch? Leave a comment for your favorite moose M.D. in the text box below!

Dear Dr.MOZ,

We’re expecting a baby in early October and we could use a little cloth diaper advice from you and your readers. I’m leaning towards “Fuzzi Buns” or “bum genius”…any preferences out there?

Thanks!

Hi New NY Mommy,

Both are great cloth diapers packed full of modern design features, so you really can’t go wrong with either choice. I’ll provide a summary of each, but we’ll rely on our readers to click on the comments bubble at the top of this post to tell about which cloth diaper they like best.

Fuzzi Bunz: cloth diaper features

• The waterproof outer barrier is 100% polyurethane laminated outer poly knit to contain wetness

• polyester micro fleece inner for pulling away moisture

• pocket-style opening enables parents to customize the absorbency to fit their baby’s needs

• the elastic is encased inside the diaper to eliminate rubbing

• adjustable snap settings grow with baby

• variety of sizes, colors, and print design choices
• more information available at www.fuzzibunz.com

bumGenius: one-size cloth diapers features

• three by three snap-downs on the front of the diaper adjust the rise as your baby grows
