I usually just let my fixing to be two girl run around in a shirt and diaper. I did recently find a tutorial on how to make your own baby leg warmers out of adult knee high socks, so now she runs around with those on too. When we go out, I do put pants on her. I find that leggings are all right over her cloth diapers. When it warms up, I’m going to just leave off the pants when we go out since her cloth diapers are so cute!

I love to pair a Duo Fab Fitted with a Duo Wrap first thing in the morning for the increased absorbency. This is, however, a bulky combination on my daughter. So, we try to keep her in her footy pajamas until her second diaper change.

I didn’t cloth diaper my older boys, so pants that fit them are not fitting over his fluffy bootie. I love sweat pants!

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I’m on my third cloth diapered baby and it’s the only thing I don’t like about cloth diapering- my babies look sloppy in their too-large clothing.

I think I’ll do some searching around to see if I can alter my 11 week old baby girl’s clothes to fit her better.

I’ve also noticed that pants are a little snug on my CDed baby. During the summer, it won’t be an issue but it is one part of having a baby in the late fall (and cloth diapering) that I hadn’t thought about prior.

I am jealous of a hospital that only uses cloth!! That is simply amazing! We do generally have to go up a size on pants to make cloth fit, but also if I don’t super stuff the diaper, that helps when we’re in public that he doesn’t have to wear a really big diaper. I find the Thirsties AIO do really well under clothes!

Now that it’s summer, my son is mostly pantless, but I love sweatpants and stretchy material to accommodate his big booty. I once saw a tutorial on re-sewing the crotch of pants to make room for the cloth diaper, but resewing pants is beyond my ability.

I found that rompers tend to pull open at the crotch unless they are pretty big, and only a few brands are big enough in the butt for him. It doesn’t matter if he’s wearing cloth or disposables, for some reason. Maybe I’m just too “aggressive” when hauling him around! I do dress him in pants & tops (regular “T” version and crotched versions) but I don’t have enough socks to completely matchy-matchy. Sometimes his clothes match, sometimes it’s whatever is out of the drawer…especially when we’re home and it’s laundry day!

We have to go a size up in jeans, but other than that, he’s true to size!

When it’s summer with a newborn, I like to use BabyLegs with cloth diapers and a t-shirt. So much easier for diaper changes (which are all the time with newborns!).
