Sweetbottoms Baby Boutique & Blueberry Basix AIO Diaper

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Beth from Sweetbottoms Baby Boutique for quite some time now. She’s a sweet and helpful cloth diaper and natural baby boutique owner you should get to know! To help you, I asked her a few questions about herself and Sweetbottoms Baby!A Year With Mom and Dad: What inspires you?
Beth @ Sweetbottoms Baby: My kids inspire me every day – to be a better Mom, to keep my priorities in check, to learn something new every day, and to laugh. 😉

AYWMD: How do you include your family/children in your business?
Beth: My family has been with me every step of the way! From the initial “dream” of owning a baby boutique to making it happen on a day to day basis, they are by my side.

AYWMD: What’s a great quote or thought that helps guide your life/business?
Beth: “We must all face the choice between what is RIGHT and what is EASY.” Albus Dumbledore

AYWMD: Do you have a favorite diaper brand or style of diaper that you use/used?
Beth: I have always gravitated towards AI2’s. I love the convenience and economical aspect of them – GroVia brand is my favorite!

AYWMD: Do you recall your first cloth diapering experiences or something that prompted you to get into the CD business?
Beth: My oldest was actually a year old before I discovered cloth. A friend showed me a gDiaper and I thought it was so amazing! I immediately went home and spent days pouring over cloth diapers on the internet. I switched from using disposables to using gDiapers and bumGenius Pocket diapers. From there I branched out to try *every* different diaper I could find! 😉  (Yes, I’m an addict…) [to which I say, aren’t we all?]

AYWMD: What’s your business philosophy?
Beth: We are just Moms helping other Moms. We love what we do and we hope it shows!

Beth sent me a Blueberry Basix All-in-One diaper to test out. I’ve heard a lot of chatter about Blueberry Diapers since I started using cloth over two years ago, but never tried one!

Blueberry diapers are high-fashion print/color diapers that cater to – you guessed it – all of us fluff-loving mamas! We just love when there are lots of prints and colors to choose from, don’t we? Check out all the prints!

The most awesome thing about Blueberry diapers is the fabrics are sourced in the United States as-much-as-possible (when there’s a cotton shortage, they have to source from Turkey). They use latex-free elastic (which is 3x as expensive as other elastics, but ensures no allergic reaction in babies). And, the manufacturing is all done in a US plant with clean processing techniques!

And that’s before I even talk about the fit! The Blueberry Basix is an All-in-One diaper with a unique spin. It has a “pocket” opening on both ends, with the soaker pad is sewn in at one end. This gives you three great features:

1. Add extra stuffing for custom absorbency – creating a “pocket diaper” adjustability
2. The sewn in soaker and any extra inserts agitate out in the wash, so you don’t have to pull out dirty inserts! (This is by far my favorite feature on a diaper, I think!)
3. With the sewn in soaker pad coming OUT of the pocket, the diaper gets thoroughly cleaned, and dries fast!

I found the softness of the microfleece and insert to be incredible! I love the side-snapping diaper style lately because it creates a nice flat-front for my toddler to fit better into his pants. Also, harder for him to take off when I don’t want him to! He’s loving his Dino diaper though! Who’d want to take this cute print off!?

Frankly, with the US-made angle, and the great fit, great fabrics, great prints… I’m sold on Blueberry Basix! At $16.95 each, they aren’t too expensive (except with AIOs, you have to buy 2 sizes if you want to CD your child from birth-to-potty). It’s a fabulous diaper if you need something easy, are concerned about fair trade and clean manufacturing, AND want a diaper that just works, works, works! 

BUY IT: Find a great range of prints and colors of Blueberry diapers at Sweetbottoms Baby Boutique. And you’ll find all your cloth diapering, natural baby needs there as well! All US orders get free shipping!
